Sorry this is a day late, I totally forgot about this yesterday.
Not like anyone missed anything anyways since we were all in class, but in case anyone forgot, we went over pages 23 - 28 and got the answers. Then we looked at Millikan's experiment and watched a short clip of that. For homework we had to do pages 29 - 34, but we corrected it today in class.. so this is a pretty pointless scribe.. ANYWAYS

Have a good weekend guys (:

What we did today..

Well, today we just watched a short video that described almost everything that we've been looking at regarding the springs. The video showed transverse waves, longitudinal waves, reflected waves, transmitted waves and anything else that you could think of.
After that, we played jeopardy for the rest of class and that involved prizes! Too bad we didn't win any.... The jeopardy was to help review and study before the big test tomorrow. The test format will be something like this:

Part A (12 marks)

• Multiple choice and definitions

Part B (11 marks)

• Concepts and visuals

Part C (13 marks)

• Calculations

BONUS: 1 mark
TOTAL: 36 marks possible

Too bad I didn't put this up sooner for people who wanted to see the format.. Oh well!
Good luck studying anyways!

What we did in class today ._.

• At the beginning of the class we got our assignments about jobs that involved physics handed back to us. We also handed in the assignment "Appendix 3.6: Describing Motion in Various Ways."
  
• After that we, turned to page 23 in the Grade 11 Physics Kinematics book and looked over vector subtraction. We then had some class time to do the 5 questions on page 24 related to vector subtraction which we went over right away.
  
• After that Ms. Kozoriz went over different types of graphs. On a distance - time graph, a parabola shows a change in velocity where as a straight line shoes a constant or linear motion. We also looked at the examples on page 34 to gain a better understanding of the concept. Then we did the questions on page 35 and went over them in class.
• Nearing the end of class, Ms. K told us that there was more information on page 16 and 17 about the graphs.
• Also we were told to do paged 13 and 14 (we corrected up to question 5)

If anyone forgot to pick up a Grade 11 Physics Formula Sheet, do so tomorrow.
Jenna will be the next scribe (:
Happy Valentines Day! <3
