Physics 1-14-26 Collisions Problems with Energy

PHYSICS: Great job on the problems so far!! Here’s our look at how kinetic and potential energy get involved – dart in the block of wood and the bird on the swing. This cute little bird isn’t on a swing, but he is one I came beak to nose with on a mission trip to Costa Rica!

What about even more practical applications? Hmmmm…..

Physics 1-8-26 Conservation of Momentum

PHYSICS: Great job playing around with the law of conservation of momentum! Now go play with the problems! 🙂

Physics 1-6-26 Impulse-Momentum Theorem

PHYSICS So that’s why you need good running shoes! Here’s our discussion of momentum and the impulse-momentum theorem. Did you understand the relationship between force and time? Let’s see if you can put it to practice. Hmmm….

Happy New Year 2026!!

Happy New Year!! Aren’t you glad that God gives us a chance to start all over again?

Science Exams First Thing Wednesday – December 17

God bless you as you study for your chemistry, honors chemistry, and physics exams! How are you studying? Best advice? Practice, practice, PRACTICE! Be active in studying – don’t just read over the material. Re-do online practice on TPC and sciencegeek.net, reworking old homework problems, re-working those flash cards you’ve made – all good. Watching vodcasts of old lectures might not hurt either!

Chemistry Exam Help Session Monday morning, 7:30 A.M. for Regular & Honors Chemistry. As always, it’s come and go.

IMPORTANT – Bring your exam review packet to the chemistry room before you go to your exam room! Put it in the correct tray on the table outside the door.

Here are the room assignments for Monday’s exam:

Hon Chemistry Rm 304 (Mrs. Carlisle’s Room)
Chemistry 3 Rm 305 (Mrs. Clayton’s Room)
Chemistry 4 Rm 306 (Mrs. Fox’s Room)
Chemistry 6 Rm 310 (Mrs. Watson’s Room)
Chemistry 7 Rm 308 (Mr. Ainsworth’s Room)
Hon Physics Rm 311 (Mrs. Williams’s Room)

Don’t forget to bring your completed exam review packets to our classroom first thing when you come on Monday. I’m praying for you!!

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
