Physics Essential Question: How can we explain and anticipate what happens around us?
"The main reason to study physics is to enhance the way you see the physical world and to understand the world we live in."

Final Exam, Marking Period 4 and Final Year Grades are updated. Please check PowerSchool.<br />
<br />
If you see a 0 or very low grade for the Rockets Project, it means you didn't turn anything in, or didn't turn in the report itself, just the packet. Some of you told me you were emailing me reports, but you never did.<br />
<br />
Also, I need to see Mahogany and Pedro from Period 3, ASAP.<br />
<br />
If you have something you owe me, see me by Wednesday to get some credit for it. Do NOT come to see me before 9:30 tomorrow or Wednesday though due to testing.<br />
<br />
I'll see the seniors at Graduation Practice.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great summer, good luck next year, and keep in touch!<br />

<br />
The Rocket Project Packet and Report are due at your final. Late work will NOT be accepted.<br />
<br />
For the rocket calculations, remember that the horizontal distance to the spotters was 50m and you had the angle from launch day. Using those two numbers you can find the approximate altitude your rocket went.<br />
<br />
Hopefully you wrote down which rocket engine you had and all the data you need. Here's a copy of the engine specification chart: <a href="http://www.spaar.org/Downloads/Library/EstesEngineSpecs.pdf">http://www.spaar.org/Downloads/Library/EstesEngineSpecs.pdf</a><br />
<br />
We used the following engines: A8-3 and B6-4. You were supposed to write down which one your rocket had.<br />
<br />
Instructions for writing the report are in the project packet.<br />
<br />
Information on final exams are listed in multiple posts below this one. Do not wait until the day of the final to ask questions.<br />
<br />
Good luck and see you at the final.David Andradehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809267838191379368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107303980700785197.post-54755853786921020072012-05-22T08:41:00.001-04:002012-05-22T08:41:00.708-04:00Rocket Project - final checklist<br />
<br />
Here is the final checklist for the Rockets Project<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Finish assembly of rocket</li>
<li>Install Engine and Recovery Wadding - make sure you note which engine you have </li>
<li>Complete stability testing (separate instructions)</li>
<li>Get mass of rocket empty and with engine</li>
<li>Get engine data from engine spec sheet (one posted in class, also Google "Estes Rocket Engine Specifications"</li>
<li>Start calculations in rocket packet</li>
<li>Launch - scheduled for Thursday, May 24th, weather permitting (rain date is Friday, May 25th) If both days rain out, we will do rocket launches during senior finals week (normal school days!) and you can turn in the Report by June 1st. </li>
<li>Final calculations and Analysis after launch</li>
<li>Finish REPORT</li>
</ul>
<div>
Do not wait to start the calculations in the packet. I highly recommend that you start the packet AND the REPORT now! It is not short or easy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If Launch goes off on schedule, the reports are due at your final exam. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Today we started the Rockets Project.<br />
<br />
There are 5 groups maximum per class.<br />
<br />
<b>Rockets Project Information and Directions:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Save your notes from the <a href="http://mrandradesphysics.blogspot.com/2012/05/rockets-webquest.html">WebQuest</a>. You will need them for the final project report. </li>
<li>Everyone needs their own <b>project packet.</b> Make sure you read it all. </li>
<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>
</ul>
<li>Everyone will have to write up their own project report (in their own words) and turn in the packet. Reports will be due by the Final Exam.</li>
<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>
<li>Rocket kits go into box top with paper with all team members' names. </li>
<li>All equipment gets returned to the front of the room (glue, tape, rulers, etc).</li>
<ul>
<li>Make sure tops are tightly closed on glue.</li>
<li>X-Acto knives get signed out and returned to me. </li>
</ul>
<li>Read all of the instructions carefully before starting any building of the rocket.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Tentative Launch Date:</b> (it is better if you are done earlier and we launch earlier, in case of rain)</div>
<div>
Thursday, May 24th. Rain date is Friday, May 25th. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Also - remember to check PowerSchool to see if you are missing anything. </b><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 7<br />Wednesday, 5/30 - Periods 2 and 6<br />Thursday, 5/31 - Periods 3 and 5<br />Friday, 6/1 - Period 4<br /><br />Topics on the Final Exam include: Work, Power, Energy, Momentum, Circular Motion, Gravity, Matter, Heat and Thermodynamics, Waves, Sound, Light, Electricity and Magnetism, and Rockets.<br /><br />You have gotten all of your work back, except for the Electricity homework.

<br />
<br />
Everyone must finish the Rockets WebQuest on their own this weekend. On Monday we start building the rockets and you will need the information from the webquest to help you with the rocket build and analysis.<br />
<br />
Also, don't forget that the electricity problems are due Monday - ALL of them, both sides of page.<br />
<br />

Reminder: Check PowerSchool for any missing work. See me for make up work. Not all assignments can be made up at this point though.<br />
<br />
Electricity homework (both sides, all 20 problems) is due Monday!<br />
<br />
Make sure you work efficiently on your rocket projects. On Friday/Monday you will be receiving the project packet. Put your name on it and do not lose it. Bring it to class everyday. You will be entering data, notes, and completing calculations as you go through the project.<br />

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm still really sick with bronchitis. Here are your assignments for Friday, March 30th. Have a great weekend.<br />
<br />
<b>All physics classes (Periods 1, 3, 4, and 6)</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Online Labs</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.physicslessons.com/iphysics.htm">http://www.physicslessons.com/iphysics.htm</a><br />
<br />
<b>Fluids & Heat</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Lab 20 Density</b><br />
three objects on bottom (blue triangle, red/black square, red oval) - calculate density for each<br />
list which object(s) floated (try all of the objects)<br />
<br />
<b>Lab 23 Pressure in Liquids</b><br />
raise and lower manometer (red box with tube) and record depth and hydrostatic pressure<br />
do for all four liquids (water, ethanol, benzol, tetrochloromethane, and mecury)<br />
write down your observations of differences or similarities of the pressures at different depths<br />
<br />
<b>Lab 24 Buoyant Force</b><br />
lower the mass into the liquid and note the buoyant force as it is lowered into the liquid. Note how it changes until fully submerged.<br />
change the preselected values of base area, height and densities (do at least 6 trials)<br />
write down your observations of the different buoyant forces vs. the area, height and density<br />
<br />
Each group turns in ONE paper for the entire group. Make sure all of your names are on it.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The requirements for the bridges you will build are listed below.<br />
<br />
<div>
You must have a design drawn before you may start construction. <br />
<br />
Also, read the <u>Engineering Design Process and Manufacturing Process </u>before starting.<br />
<br />
You can read it here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ck86UADuxbOyz0Uk2GmwSu4Re7FQuP5jHgyItmnUHoY">https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ck86UADuxbOyz0Uk2GmwSu4Re7FQuP5jHgyItmnUHoY</a><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Rules and Requirements</b><br />
<br />
Students will build model bridges. The bridge that can hold the most weight wins.<br />
<br />
Bridges have to be between 250mm and 300mm long and width must be between 50mm and 75mm wide. <br />
<br />
The bridges must be less than 100mm high.<br />
<br />
The only materials you will have are a knife, working surfaces, ruler, 15 pieces of balsa wood, and glue. The balsa wood pieces are 61 cm long and 4mm square.<br />
<br />
You can NOT laminate the wood - in other words, you can NOT have pieces of wood glued together lengthwise to create a larger surface, like a board. See me if you have questions. <br />
<br />
You will not have to build any legs or supports - that will be done with books. <br />
<br />
Your design should be well thought out. You should have drawing of your design (3 views - side, top, front). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You should estimate how many different pieces of different size cuts of wood you will need. Cut them out, and start assembling them in different sub-assemblies.<br />
<br />
You should also create a template where you can lay the wood on the paper and then glue it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>We will start building the bridges after you have done your research and designed your bridge.</b><br />

REMEMBER - everyone in the group is working on the assignment at the same time. You do not take turns. You must all be paying attention to the assignment all the time. If you are taking turns, and other members of the group are not paying attention or are talking about other subjects, you will not get full credit for the assignment.<br />
<br />
This is nothing new. We have been doing this since the beginning of the year and the rules are the same. You must ALL be paying attention to the software or simulations or research, ALL the time, no matter who is actually controlling the computer.<br />
<br />

<br />
Before you do the bridge design, building, analysis and testing, you need to learn a little about bridges and bridge design.<br />
<br />
Go to this link and follow the directions and links:<br />

<br />
<br />
You will be going to different websites (click the blue links) and then answering the questions, writing observations, and so forth. Make sure you pay attention to the directions and each student must turn in their own paper.<br />
