Periods 1 and 5 only, due to Saturnalia trip.
Students investigated how differing amplitudes and frequencies affect what a sound is like.
HW: No HW
Students investigated waves and the parts of a transverse wave.
HW: Revised lab reports due tomorrow at the latest. Turn in rubric when done.
Students investigated the ideas of amplitude, frequency, transverse and longitudinal. A computer model and slinkys were used as examples.
HW: Revised lab reports due Friday at the latest. Turn in rubric when done.
Students were introduced to waves with a pre-unit checkin, a video clip, a slinky demonstration, and a discussion.

Students investigated their own centers of gravity through a variety of body balancing activities and challenges.
And…the secret of Training A Coffeecan was revealed!
HW: No HW
Students explained phenomena involving a falling cup. They were introduced to my “pet coffee can” who does some amazing tricks, and we had an introduction to the idea of Center of Gravity.
HW: No HW
Students investigated a series of falling object phenomena, examining what factors do and do not affect the speed and acceleration of falling objects.
HW: No HW
Students investigated the difference between mass and weight. They applied the difference in an activity about weights on different worlds.
HW: no HW
Students began an investigation of gravity, and the factors that affect its strength.
HW: No HW
Students prepared their portfolios for student-led conferences. Then they peer-edited lab reports, and turned them in!
