11/26 - Went over some basic properties of the electromagnetic spectrum; handed out packets for thermos project
11/27 - No class - movie with grade 7 11/28 - More EM spectrum, worked on part III of thermos project in class 11/29 - Review day for unit test 11/30 - Energy Unit Test Next week we will continue with the thermos project, ending with testing. Parts III and IV (Prototype) of your thermos packet. Take your time with your drawings, be sure to read the directions.
Due Wednesday, 11/28
Part II of your thermos design packet. This is on the first page, and should be a summary of what you have learned from your research. This will not be accepted after the due date, as you will be immediately continuing with your project. 11/19 - Continued talking about heat transfer and thermal expansion. Read and discussed an article about the change in definition of the kilogram.
11/20 - Thanksgiving science Coming up - the electromagnetic spectrum. There will be a unit test on Friday covering some material from the previous quiz and the newer material on heat transfer. 11/13 - energy transformation quizzes were returned and reviewed. Corrections were allowed up to a 75.
11/12 - Worked through heat transfer computer program focusing on convection and conduction methods. 11/13 - Discussed conductors and insulators, and specific heat of different materials. Performed a demo lab to illustrate different materials abilities to conduct heat and watched a short video to view convection currents in liquids. 11/14 - Radiation demo lab; started on thermal expansion and electromagnetic wavelengths. Next week we will be continuing with heat transfer, and come up with models to explain thermal energy transfers using the three methods we have been learning about. Answer the three heat transfer questions in a google doc. The link to the doc can be found in your google classroom.
11/5- All classes took a quiz on energy transfers and transformations, then continued learning about heat transfer.
11/6 - 11/8 Started on heat transfer methods - conduction/convection/radiation. We did some demos in class to see different forms of heat transfer and stressed what is happening at the molecular level with temperature, thermal energy, and heat. We will stay on the same subject for the next week. Textbook - pg.477
-Answer questions 1,2,3. For question 3b, you may do the calculations, but you do not HAVE to. If you choose not to, write in the specific heat of silver found in the section. |
