Blog Buddies

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Today in 1A Physics, we got assigned two people to read our blogs and comment on them.  We also went over our hw from Monday.  My group did question #1.  I was happy to draw on the white boards because I'm a dork like that :).   Jessie and Marty demonstrated what the graph said.  I thought a possible situation for it could be two people left from their houses to go for a bike ride.  Ones house is farther away from the other which is why one started in the origin and the other was above it, closer to the final destination (as my group came up with).  We discussed whether speed=velocity.  We concluded it didn't because velocity also includes distance or direction. Question #2, was basically the same thing but there was another graph in addition to the first one.  Line A had a negative slope in the 2nd graph.  One person thought that it meant that the cyclist went out for a ride (graph 1) then they took a break.  In graph 2, A and B turned back home and B went back out for a better workout. I thought it meant the same except in graph 2, B kept going without turning back but their isn't really a way to determine that.

PANDIFLY

Bonjour mon amies,

Today in science, we took a quiz on conversions.  I got 1 or 2 wrong...plus the 4 @ the bottom that I didn't read the instructions and answered them wrong, so beware and ALWAYS read the instructions.  On the back we had to draw a panda mixed with a butterfly,  (I call it a Pandifly) I think it looked pretty good... :/...maybe.  I have a question for all you people out there reading this...( Mr.Battaglia and possibly Shirley), how many fruit flies would fill up a school bus? The closet estimation of an answer you can possibly get...

What did the receiver say to the radio wave? Ouch! That megahertz.

Now I'm going to work on some speeches for debate (Meet on Thursday @ Stevenson) and then write a letter for french.  Its like a rough draft of what we will be sending to our french pen pals.

Scientific Notation

Hello Blogger World,
   Today in science,  we got cookie sale sheets (yum). And we also made a conversion table and did some stuff with that. i.e. 24Km =_____mi.  
24Km*1mi/1.6093Km. You would cross out the Km's and end up with 24/1.6093 and that ='s 14.91 mi.  
Ok so scientific notation.  9000000 is the same thing as 900000 * 10.  Which is the same as 90000 * 10^ 2. And so on until you end up with 9 * 10 ^6. 10^6 is the same as 10*10*10*10*10*10.  9260000= 9.26 *10^6. .000006 = 6*10^-6.  


Old science teachers never die. They just don't react.

Let's Fiesta!

Hey. Today we discussed the differences between inverse and indirect.  Indirect means not direct.  Inverse means opposite of pretty much. i.e. x*2= y/2 and is also a form of indirect.  Direct means when x goes up, y goes up.  Proportional means when x goes up and so does y but at a constant rate.  (sorry about the confusion on monday). Today we also took a fiesta***.  I forgot to write whether it was direct or indirect or inverse and I realized it the second I sat down.  At the end of the hour I told my teacher and he let me add it on.






*** fiesta means quiz
