September 14th-17th

On the 14th and 15th we took our safety quiz, then reviewed our lab activity by sharing and comparing our data. Finally we experimented with our film cannister cannon.

On the 16th and 17th we began to work in chapter one of the "Sound and Light" book. We looked at examples of transverse and ocean waves, and diagrammed a transverse wave. We defined crest, trough, wavelength and amplitude.

We also practiced using the sq3r reading method as we started to read chapter one, section one.

Finally, we did a human wave, and pointed out crests, troughs and wavelength, then we switched gears and worked on the helium hoop activity.
