This is your class landing page, you will want to come here every week to check for any class announcements. Make certain you read everything on this page and understand completely all the directions. You can access past weeks announcements in their respective Quarter pages. Week 19 Summary
This past week we started Chapter 8 - Energy Flow and Systems. The chapter is broken down accordingly:
Recollect that any time energy is transferred from one object to another, or undergoes a transformation, some of it is lost as heat. Whenever engineers and designers contemplate the energy efficiency of machines or systems, they are keenly interested in the degree to which potential energy - for example from a battery - is transformed into mechanical energy in a machine. Highly efficient machines do not waste a whole lot of energy as heat. What to expect in Week #20
On Tuesday of this coming week, we will complete Chapter 8 working through Skill & Practice 8C - Identifying Energy Conversions, and 8D - Energy Conversions/ Extra Practice. Make sure you are comfortable with the concepts within this chapter as they are foundational to content that will follow in the next few weeks.
Thursday, we will start Chapter 9 - Matter and Energy, which is broken down accordingly:
Do make sure you watch at least the Section 9.1 Part 1 video before class on Thursday. I broke Section 9.1 from your text into two parts because it was rather long and extensive. Upcoming Test covering Chapters 7 and 8 - due February 8th
As a reminder your next test will covering Chapters 7 and 8. This test will be emailed out this week, and will not be due until Tuesday, February 8th. Please refer to the Weekly Pacing Guide for details!
