3/27 Physics class and homework due 4/3
Hi folks,
This week we worked on the concept of resonance. Resonance is when energy is transferred by a wave of a certain frequency causing something with a similar frequency to vibrate. It is the way energy can be transferred by waves. We did a variety of demonstrations to explore this concept.
Homework for this week is to read the Resonance chapter from the Bite-Size Physics eBook and do the questions at the end of the chapter.
Here's the chapter.

3/20 Physics update and homework due 3/37
Hi folks,
Today we spent a bit more time mastering some of the math from the past weeks. The quizzes pointed to some issues in solving the energy problems and conservation of momentum problems so we spent more time explaining them and doing some examples in class.
We also spent a bit of time finding the relationship between the tension of a slinky and the velocity of a wave.
For homework due next week do the enclosed .pdf.

3/6 Physics update and homework due 3/20
Hi folks,
Today we spent time studying waves and the definitions of the properties of waves. We went outside and, with a rope, did a bit of a hands-on experience getting to understand frequency, amplitude and wavelength.
Homework due 3/20 is:
Read pp. 372 - 379 in the Conceptual Physics book
Do Review Questions pg. 387 #'s 1 - 11
Do Plug and Chug 1-5
