March 24 & 25

For these two days, we didn't do very much. On March 24th, we got our tests and labs back from Mr. Vincent, who then proceeded to give us corrections for both of them [the answers for the bonus questions were radial and coridal artery, by the way.]. Also, for those who missed their lunches during the talent show, we were given a chance to get our food and eat in class, as long as we didn't make a mess.

On March 25, we spent our final day before spring break watching an episode of Mythbusters, specifically the episode where they prove whether a lead balloon was possible, and if a wave caused by TNT can be surfed successfully. For those who don't mind spoilers, the results were "confirmed" and busted" in that order, respectively. There was also a plate of chips left out for anyone wanting a snack, but it was left untouched, I believe. That is all.

The next scribe shall be keinaan94. And yes, I am aware that my scribe is late, and I apologize for that.

Okay, so we didn't really do anything serious today. We got to class, sat down, and started writing a test for our unit about 1D waves. I hope I did well, I think the class did okay. So if you missed the test, plan some time to make up for it. There was no homework so I really don't know how to drag this scribe out any longer...

Well, yeah Jackson will scribe tomorrow!
byee!~

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!
Jenna will be the next scribe (:

At the beginning of class today, I sold one of my chocolates to a classmate of mine.

.. Oh, and Ms. K also helped us complete the study guide for chapters 3 and 4 in the textbook, as well as reminding us the formulas for acceleration, displacement of an accelerating object, and final velocity. She then gave us an insight on calculating the instanteous velocity of a position-time chart, using the "rise-over-run" formula, and were given practice sheets to work on together. By the end of class, we were assigned pages 43-44 in the kinematics booklet to finish by Tuesday. But because we have Monday off, feel free to procrastinate until then. Enjoy your long weekend everybody! :D Just kidding, don't procrastinate. But enjoy your weekends anyhow~

BRYAN SHALL BE THE NEXT SCRIBE~

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
