Principles of Technology-Period 9 Assignments

Complete the planning sheet. You may work in groups for this portion of the project. Make sure all team members names are included on your document. For question 5 use a separate piece of paper and turn it in on Friday. Once you complete the planning sheet, make sure the background research questions are completed. Work on missing work from last week.

Today we will begin working on our final project. The project will have three parts. We will begin the first part today. I've attached a worksheet which must be completed prior to moving on to the next phase.


I've also attached the project rubric for your reference.

This week we will learn about Quantum Theory. The video will give a brief introduction about quantum physics. Watch the video and write at least 5 sentences about what you learned. Attach a google doc.

Link below.  First click on skyscraper basics and read the material.  Then try the simulation.  You may work in a SMALL group.

Please watch the short video and then color the paper handout provided in class.  These describe hydrostatic pressure that we are discussing with our topic of dams.  Please put at least TWO (2) notes from the video on your handout.  Put your NAME on it. Turn it in for a grade.  A pdf copy of the sheet from class is provided below for those at home.  Thanks!!

Please choose any topic from the year, or any vocabulary word.  You may use Google Classroom to scroll through to help choose a topic.  Please make one slide that is visual with pictures that captures the feeling or meaning of that word.  Please put the word as the topic on the slide.  There shouldn't be bullets or words on the slide other than the topic!  These are for the slide show on Friday for the CTE fair for the 8th graders.

Fifth Six Weeks Exam in Eduphoria

This review must be completed by the end of the day Tuesday, April 13.  


I WILL NOT TAKE LATE SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS DAILY GRADE OR LATE/MISSING WORK UNLESS YOU MISSED SCHOOL WITH A VALID DOCTORS EXCUSE OR APPROVED SCHOOL EVENT WITHIN THE WEEK.  
The Six Weeks Exam is on Wednesday.

Instead of a quiz this week, we will do this assignment as a daily grade.

These were completed in class. There are 4 slides. Two are blank for you to fill in and the second two are the answer key to guide you in filling out your own. These are an excellent study guide for the quiz that will be on Friday

Quiz Friday - Practice!

How do you think advancement in science will change life in the future?

Please write your thoughts and ideas and submit. Thanks y'all!

Please check your grades! If you have missing assignments, today is the day to get them done. Grades Close on Friday! Many people are missing the assignment from Thursday, Feb 11 and the TikTok from Friday Feb 12.

Dont forget:
1 liter of water / 1000 grams
0.433 psi / ft

Please use any of the resources in the Google Classroom or online to answer these questions. You may also use the text books on the shelf. It will be in chapters 9 & 10.

Please choose any vocabulary word or concept from this chapter and make a TikTok about it. Please choose your music, theme, script, or actions to represent the concept or vocabulary word. If you need inspiration, look up at the dry erase board of vocabulary in the classroom, or in Google classroom, there are ample items to explore including slides, short videos, and other content. When you are finished, please save your video and upload it here. You may also send me a link instead of uploading it. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THESE!!

You will need a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bathtub, or a large bowl (any of these work - you just need something to hold water for your boat.). You need a piece of aluminum foil and some pennies. Very simple lab!

Please use the link at the top of the sheet to watch the video. Answer the questions in the sheet from the video.

Wednesday: Period 1,3,5,7
Thursday: Period 4,6,8,9
Go in Eduphoria and complete your exam according to the schedule above for each period.
NO NOTES. DO NOT OPEN ANOTHER BROWSER TAB.

As a Review, please review and fill out these copies of your first and second six weeks exams. They will become your study guide. I will add one or two questions for this six weeks content before Friday. I will post answers before the weekend so you can check your work. These will each be a daily grade.

For all classes that have review material posted. BE SURE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT CONTENT AND WORKING THROUGH THOSE OLD EXAMS AS STUDY GUIDES!

This is roll call and required for attendance. If you don't respond, you will be counted absent.

1. A spring has an extension of 20 cm. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the spring (The spring constant, k = 100 N/m).
2. A spring with a constant of 80 N/m is extended by 1.5 m. How much energy is stored in the spring.
3. Explain how shock absorbers work on a car and draw a diagram.

A cannon ball weighing 25 kg is shot from a cannon at 50 meters per second. What is the Kinetic Energy of the cannon ball? Please use the equation for Kinetic Energy. Kinetic Energy is equal to one half times the mass times the velocity squared. The attachment below has the equation on it and explains each part of the equation.

A man is holding a baseball off of a balcony at a high rise hotel. The balcony is 200 meters from the ground. The ball weighs 5 kilograms. Please use the equation for Potential Energy which is Potential Energy equals mass times gravity times height, or simply put, PE=mgh. (Solution will be posted tomorrow.)

Give these a try!

A soccer ball is kicked with a force of 13.5 N. It accelerates to the right at 6.5 meters per second squared to the right. What is the mass of the ball? (Hint: Use Newton's Second Law of Motion)

Diego and Lola are studying across the table from each other. Lola slides a 2.2 kg book across the table to Diego. If the net force acting on the book is 1.6 N, then what is the book's acceleration? (Hint: Use Newton's Second Law of motion.)

Please use the link then press "Launch Interactive." Then click the "Start" button in the box that says Free Body Diagrams. There are 12 scenarios to solve. When a scenario is correct, it will give you a gold star and allow you to move on to the next scenario. If this is hard, read the two handouts again from yesterday and re-watch the 6 minute video from Flipping Physics that I posted. These can be confusing at first, but you will pick up on them after a few! Read the handouts and watch the video first! When you are done, please let me know what you learned through a comment or an email. This is for a daily grade.

A special note to let you know...we miss you all very much!

You may use the instructional notes that I provided as help for this quiz.

Your Quiz for today will be posted at the start of your class period. Enrichment does not have a quiz, but all other classes have a quiz today.

Please do not use notes. You may use a calculator. YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK. Please take a picture with a phone and email it to me or share it with me.

Watch the lecture or portions of it a second time if the questions are hard. You can also watch content on vectors on Khan Academy or on Flipping Physics if you would like a bit more on vectors. Just give them your best shot. Send me what you have. It's OK if they aren't easy, just send as far as you could get on each one. It is very helpful to write out what you are given, what you are finding, and draw a diagram to the best of your ability.

Don't worry if you have trouble with the last one, we will look at it on Tuesday together, but please try it out!

You must mark so you are not counted absent.

Please do this study guide. Answers will be posted later today. Study this for the test on Wednesday.

Principles of Technology - Please understand the concepts presented and be able to explain them in simple terms.
AP Physics - Please understand the concepts and follow the math solutions as well.

Please complete the question for the day.

Please watch and understand the concepts, follow the mathematics to the best of your ability.

Once you start this quiz, you will need to complete and submit it. You cannot stop and re-start this quiz. During the quiz, all other functions on your computer will be disabled.

Here are a few videos involving motion that show physics in action in everyday life. Enjoy them!
These are simple and short - and no notes needed on these. Therefore, this is the day where you should catch up on any lectures that you have not watched and take your notes on those lectures from the past 2-3 weeks!

Log on with the link below at 11:45 AM. We should try for a 15-20 minute meeting. It will be nice to see everyone. Hopefully it will work correctly, but if it doesn't work like it should, we will have tried! We will learn for the next time. If it doesn't work properly for you or for me...no stress! #fingerscrossed

Please watch and understand the concept of Acceleration.

Please watch this video and there is a problem to try at the end. Position vs. Time graphs are very confusing, so it's OK to feel confused by them! It just takes some practice! Concentrate and stay with it...you'll get it!

This is a lab that you can try at home. Find a toy car. Any type will do - matchbox car. You can use the timer on a phone or a stopwatch. Please give this a try and collect your data. You will be creating a lab report with this as a part of a lab portfolio.

Please watch these videos and take notes. The concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration are very important! I'm not as concerned with your ability to do the math as I am for you to understand the concepts and how each one is different. You should be able to explain what is speed, what is velocity and what is acceleration in your own words. I have also posted a video on Displacement and Distance below. I had posted it once before but the link was broken. Please watch it is as well. Understanding how to read the graph is very important. Reading a similar graph will be on a future quiz.

Please answer this question or you will be counted absent.

Please watch. Use the sheet posted to follow along, or just draw it in your notebook. Pause the video when needed to work on your graph.

Please submit the quiz. It is open notes.

Please watch this video on dimensional analysis. Please watch it carefully. This will be important this year as we solve problems. It will be important that the units make sense for what we are solving. It will be important to be able to convert units in our problems. This video is very simple, but in complicated problems with longer equations, this basic skill will become important.

Please watch this and catch up with anything this week you haven't watched!

For Remote Learners

For those working remotely from home.

Please watch this video for understanding the importance of lab safety.

Please fill out the contract for lab safety. Be sure you have watched the assigned Lab Safety Video first.
