For the week of 11/16/09 - 11/20/09:

This week we will be focusing on waves (mainly mechanical and sound waves).

On Monday (11/16/09), we start the third six weeks. We will review what we know about transverve and longitudinal waves because...

On Tuesday (11/17/09), we will have a QUIZ on mechanical waves. Since it's a quiz, you may use any notes that you have taken, including your vocabulary squares. Pre-AP -- you will be expected to draw AND LABEL both a transverse and longitudinal wave and calculate the wavelength, frequency and speed.

Wednesday (11/18/09), we're starting SOUND WAVES. Yes, there will be some notes, but there will also be an activity (or two) that allow us to process what we've learned

Thursday (11/19/09), (Pre-AP) we are going to measure the speed of sound using a lab and talk about the Doppler Effect. The questions from the lab are homework if you do not complete them in class. Academic classes will watch a thunderstorm and figure out the distance from lightning strikes.

Friday (11/20/09), Applications of Sound Waves. Notes involving sonar, infrasound, ultrasound, and echolocation. Activity: Draw a cartoon depicting one of the applications of sound waves.
