Physics

Wrap-up the torque lab.  Obtain an object to represent your unknown mass.  Use the skills developed yesterday to find the mass of the object.

Review:  We will work in groups to discuss the review questions.  Each group will work on a question.  Each group will consist of three people and will rotate around the room from question table to question table.  

At the end, we will discuss the answers to the questions and will discuss any problems areas that you may have. 

Be sure to study tonight.  Go over all the concepts and math equations.

Physical Science A

Bellwork:
    1.  If I do 1600 J of work placing a box onto a shelf, how much potential energy does the box have?  If     the box fell off the shelf, how much kinetic energy would the box have just before it struck the ground?

    2.  How are work, potential energy, and kinetic energy related?

    3.  Using your understanding on the Law of Conservation of Energy, explain what happens to food     energy after you consume it?


Go over the homework questions.

Practice test.

Go over the answers for the practice test.

Hand out the binder list.

HW:  Test Tomorrow.  Make sure you spend time studying!
