You will need them for the final project report. <br /><br /><div>
Everyone needs their own <b>project packet</b>. Make sure you read it all. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Put your name on it!</li>
<li>Read the whole thing.</li>
<li>You will be filling in the notes, questions, calculations and more as you build the rocket. </li>
<li>Bring the packet to class every day. </li>
<li>Everyone will have to write up their own project report (in their own words) and turn in the packet. </li>
<li>Reports will be due by the Final Exam.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Do not wait until the last minute to start the report. You can work on it as you go through the project and then just finalize it after the launch. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rocket kits go into box top with paper with all team members' names. <br /></div>
<div>
All equipment gets returned to the front of the room (glue, tape, rulers, etc).</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Make sure tops are tightly closed on glue.</li>
<li>X-Acto knives get signed out and returned to me. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Read all of the instructions carefully before starting any building of the rocket.</b><br /><br /><br /><b>Tentative Launch Date</b>: (it is better if you are done earlier and we launch earlier, in case of rain)<br />Wednesday, May 23rd. Rain date is Friday, May 25th. <br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Final Exam information (reminder)</b><br /><br />Final Exams (Seniors) These are during normal, long class periods. <br />Tuesday, 5/29 - Periods 1 and<b> 7</b><br /></div>

<br />
<br />
Today you will be exploring concepts of light as we finish the unit. After break, we will be starting Relativity and Atomic Physics.<br />
<br />
1. Go to: <a href="http://www.shs.d211.org/physicsd211/virtualphysics/light/LightInterference/interference.html">http://www.shs.d211.org/physicsd211/virtualphysics/light/LightInterference/interference.html</a><br />
<br />
Move the three sliders on the bottom of the animation to see the different interference patterns, in both single and double slits.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Go to the Multimedia Science School software on the Novell screen.<br />
<br />
Physics > Oscillations and Waves > Light > Lesson > Ray Optics<br />
<br />
Physics > Oscillations and Waves > Wave Behavior > How Waves Behave<br />
<br />
Physics > Oscillations and Waves > Combining Waves > Superposition of Waves<br />
<br />
<br />
This is for your information. Take notes on these as you see fit, for yourself.<br />
<br />
After break there will be an assessment of what you know about light.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Dear AP Students,</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Monday, 3/12/2012, the school received word that the Federal government has slashed its funding to states for AP exam fees and the State of Connecticut is not providing any increase in their funding either. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Because of these cuts, you will have to share the costs of the exams. Again, you will have to pay for part of the exams this year. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The costs are as follows:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<li>$15 per exam for the first three exams</li>
<li>$53 per exam for the 4th, 5th, 6th or additional exams.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So, if you are taking 2 AP exams, it will cost you $30. If you are taking 4 AP exams, it will cost you $98</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">( 3 x $15, and then $53 for the 4th exam).</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A letter will be sent to your parents about this change in AP testing and fees. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">If any additional funding becomes available from the Federal or State governments, refunds could be given, but there is no definite notice of that happening. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We know this may be a hardship for some students. This is not a Bridgeport thing, it is due to Federal and State cuts. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">More information will be coming soon. </span></span></div>

<br />
Today we finished Chapter 16, Electric Charge and Electric Field.. Homework is Chp 16 Problems: # 5, 7, 9, 23, 25, 27, 31.<br />
We started the first lab today too.<br />
<br />
Lecture notes are posted:<br />

<br />
On Friday we will go over the homework and then continue the lab.<br />
<br />
Over break, don't forget to do the practice test problems. After break, we will go over them and then finish the labs for this chapter and then continue onto chapter 17. It wouldn't be a bad idea to read chapter 17 over the break either.<br />
<br />
See you Friday!<br />
<br />
<br />
Great job today too!<br />

What did you see? Was this what you expected? How do the laws of thermodynamics apply? Etc. <br /> <br /><br /><br /><b><u>Lab 2:</u></b><br />•<a href="http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Reversible_Reactions">http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Reversible</a><a href="http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Reversible_Reactions">_Reactions</a> <br />–<br />Run simulation, change variables and observe what happens.
Write observations, calculations, answers to questions down. What did you see? Was this what you expected? How do the laws of thermodynamics apply? Etc. <br /><br />Notice that you can adjust the height of each side of the reaction.<br /> <br />What do you think the ruler in the middle represents?<br /> <br />Move the middle bar to 50.<br /> <br />Move the reactant energy platform to 25. Keep the products on the lowest<br />possible setting.<br /> <br />Would you expect this reaction to be endo or exothermic? Why?<br /> <br />Add 50 particles to A.<br /> <br />Press start. Record what happens.<br /> <br />Attempt changes to the reaction conditions that will increase the amount of<br />product.(Record what you did and the results)<br />a) First change<br /> <br />Result.<br /> <br />b) Second change<br /> <br /><div>
Result.<br /> </div>
<div>
Which change you made above would best simulate the addition of a catalyst to a<br />chemical reaction.<br /> </div>
<div>
Now move the products to 25 and place the reactants at the lowest possible<br />setting. Start over with a new 50 particles. Record what happens. Would you<br />expect this to be more or less spontaneous? Why?<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><u>Lab 3:</u></b><br /><a href="http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/Thermodynamics/">http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/Thermodynamics/</a> <br />–Read directions and do all 7 experiments <br /><br />Write observations, calculations, answers to questions down.
