Final Review Video!

Here is the playlist of the final review video on YouTube, make sure you do the problems FIRST and then watch the video!

Study study y'all...

Wave Test Review Video

After many technical delays, here are your 2 review videos! These look a little different, I recorded my screen answering them instead of a physical piece of paper - hope you like it

4th/8th Period Test Delayed

I'm very sorry to delay the test for 4th and 8th period, but I have had severe (and infuriating) technical issues with the review video. I don't think it would be fair to ask you to take the test without access to the video, so I'm forced to postpone it to next Tuesday.

This will NOT affect 3rd and 7th periods! You will still test on Monday. Sorry about that!

Patterns in Waves sub day

Here are some videos to watch, after they've worked on the Patterns Page for 30 minutes (they should have it, extra copies on desk):

Echolocation and parts of the wave:

Dolphins
Echolocation and Doppler Effect

Boy who can Echolocate


Then they can complete the echolocation part of the page

Then the Ultrasound video here and they can work on the ultrasound
Ultrasound Video

Wave Sub Day

Here's a Google Doc template for the day (You'll need to click File -> Make a Copy to get it in your own drive)

Complete numbers 1 and 2 on your sub day work sheet (it will be turned in at the end of the period!)

3. CYMATICS Video

4. Get the iPads and look up those definitions - remember it's OK if you don't understand them fully, this is our first look at this info. When you're finished we can watch the next video and hopefully have time for the bonus video, or even the BONUS bonus video :)

5. Elements of Physics: Waves, Sound, and Electromagnetism Video

6. Physics Girl video

7. Bonus Physics Girl Video

Video Review for 2nd Energy Test

Here is your video breakdown of the 2nd energy test - make sure you study! There are 4 parts.

Also, check out the roller coaster assignment in the post below or at tinyurl.com/energymakeup - that is due by the end of the week if you want to make up your grades from the 1st progress report!

Roller Coaster Project

Roller Coaster Physics

Your Mission: Oaks Park's regrettably had to close their beloved Looping Thunder ride and would like a video made that explains why they shut the ride down. Here’s the Looping Thunder ride, which was the only ride in Oregon with a flip!The promotions and events manager for the park was quoted by KOIN:

“It was time for something new and exciting, so in the spring we will be opening a brand new, much more extreme roller coaster,” MacKay said. “It’ll be something really unique and new for Oregon, never seen anything like it here.”

The new coaster, on its way to the park from Europe, has more inversions — that is, riders will go upside down more often. It also has a lower height limit, opening it up to shorter kids.

But this day was bittersweet for the staff, she said.

“People love this ride, have had a great time with their families on this ride,” MacKay told KOIN 6 News. But “people have been clamoring for something more extreme, something more exciting and we are going to deliver on that.”

"Why can't the Looping Thunder ride just go faster?" - you, right now, probably

You could take footage yourself or use another video and edit over it. You may work with 1 partner, who does not have to be in your Physics period, but you may also work alone. 

Oaks Park wants to use your video to explain how the ride works, so people feel like the science has been done and aren’t so afraid of the flip. Park visitors have also been asking questions about why the roller coaster doesn’t have engines and where all the energy goes at the end of the ride.

Questions to consider (mention these ideas in your video):

●      Where does the roller coaster get its energy?

●      Why is it called a roller coaster?

●      When does the ride have the most Gravitational Potential Energy? What about the most Kinetic Energy?

●      When is the ride the slowest? The fastest? Why?

●      At the end of the ride, the cars come to a stop at ground level - where did all of that energy go?

Math: Here is a template you can use to organize the project - you can print it out, but it's better if you log-in and click File -> Make a Copy to get a copy in your own Google Drive so you can edit it, then click "Share" and type in your partner's e-mail address so they can edit it too!

Please mention the most important of these numbers in your video, then turn in the work you did to calculate them, along with a labeled drawing of the roller coaster with at least 5 pie graphs at different parts of the roller coaster.

Checklist:
____Questions answered (do not read the questions in your video, just answer them)
____Math Table completed (see template)
____Important numbers converted into miles per hour so you can use that number in the video (use Google!)
____Drawing of Roller Coaster - with at least 5 pie or bar graphs!
____Rough Script for Video (could just be the answers to the questions put together into a paragraph that flows naturally)
____Video - you can upload it to Youtube or simply show me the video after school.

Sub Video Day!

Warm-up page (display on projector until warm-up is done)

This video starts in the middle on purpose: Car Crash Physics

Write answers silently first, everyone must put pencil to paper! After everyone has started something you can chat a bit, but get finished with these questions so we can watch the next video.

2nd video: GI Joe: Energy

Write answers silently first, everyone must put pencil to paper! After everyone has started something you can chat a bit, but get finished with these questions so we can watch the next one!

3rd video: Perpetual motion discussion

Just a couple of questions here.

8th period only: Engineering Video

Energy Videos and Review

Work through these things first, THEN watch the video(s). I've put all the videos into the same playlist, linked here. The final exam review videos are at the bottom. Check out the areas that don't make sense to you, make sure you study study study! Here's a direct link to the review section.

Aloha Course Descriptions

Here are the course descriptions for next year!

Final Exam Review Video

I broke the review into 3 parts. Watch the parts you need, skip around, re-watch - whatever you do, come prepared!

1st two pages - Patterns and Lab Example
3rd Page - Motion
4-5th page - Forces

Here's the Final Exam Schedule:
