Physics 112 (Periods 1 & 6)Overview of Newton's Laws: physics_112_forces_newtons2nd_may_6.pdfPractice problems #1-10 of your problem set were assigned.We will conclude the unit tomorrow but our test is not scheduled until Tuesday, May 13.Math 9 (Period 3)Working through Chapter 7.4 - solving problems using similar triangles.Examples and practice: similar_triangle_examples_and_practice.pdf (pages 2 and 4 are to be completed for homework, page 5 will be assigned at a later date).Outside Activity: shadow_play_activity.pdfFriday or Monday I would like to do at least one more out-of-class activity to put similar triangles to good use.Our activities will involve measuring angles outside of the classroom and a protractor won't cut it!  Check out the app: Theodolite ($): https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/theodolite/id339393884?mt=8 it does not take much memory but could use celular plan data when outside (app will work in airplane mode).  Also check the Google Play store for an android version of the app.  I could not find the free version of the above app but a free compass/compass app will work just as well. Physics 122 (Period 4)Conservation of momentum in 2D: physics122_cons_mom-2d_apr30.pdfConservation of momentum in 2D: physics122_cons_mom-2d_apr25.pdfProblem set page 24 #37For all of the important course documents go here: January 29/2014 - Semester 2 Begins!
Physics 112 (Periods 1 & 6)This week was designated to collecting lab data and report writing.  That is the last designated lab time during class as we will now focus on finishing the course content.Up next on Monday will be the second half of the forces unit.  It would be a very good idea to review your motion equations and problems.Math 9 (Period 3)Worked through chapters 7.1 - 7.3 of your textbook about enlarging or reducing shapes and similar polygons.Review: unit_7_1-7_3_review.pdfScale Diagrams on a Map assignment: map_assignment.pdfNext week: We will be spending the week on similar diagrams.  This will include some group activities (both indoor and outdoor so we'll watch the weather) that will hopefully make it a little more interesting :)Our activities will involve measuring angles outside of the classroom and a protractor won't cut it!  Check out the free app: Theodolite (free or $): https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/theodolite/id339393884?mt=8 it does not take much memory but could use celular plan data when outside (app will work in airplane mode).  Also check the Google Play store for an android version of the app. Physics 122 (Period 4)Conservation of momentum in 2D: physics122_cons_mom-2d_apr30.pdfConservation of momentum in 2D: physics122_cons_mom-2d_apr25.pdfProblem set page 24 #37For all of the important course documents go here: January 29/2014 - Semester 2 Begins!
