The post-volleyball plan

Hello Sec 4 Science,

Be reminded of the following things:

1) Quiz on static electricity for 4A on Monday, December 10th

2) last day in class to work on cam&follower projects (class 4B), the barometer, or any other work will be Monday, December 10th.

3) barometers will be due on Wednesday, Dec.12th

4) quiz for mechanical engineering is cancelled as you have all been assigned enough work in this area

5) Next topic for 4A - building cam system project in the workshop
     Next topic for 4B - static electricity, FACILE LEARNING ASSIGNMENT
                   Science & Technology, Lesson 4 "Electricity", Topics 1-6

How a barometre works...

please use this video to assist your understanding how how a barometre works and to do your technical analysis of the device.

Expect this assignment to be due at the end of next week (around Nov 30th)... if you have questions, then please ask us during the next few days :D

Updates and due dates

Hello Science Peeps,

About the friction lab, it seems that some groups are not sharing information incredibly well and cooperating to get the discussion answers finished up.  You are reminded that the data may be copied (& procedure to some extent) and shared but the other work (procedures, discussion questions, and abstract) should be in your own words. That being said...you should analyze and discuss your answers with your group!
DUE DATE remains: Wednesday, Nov 21st 2012.  For assignments handed in next Monday, Nov 26th expect a 10% penalty.

Your science journal also remains due tomorrow along with the analysis of motion transmission and transformation from today`s class.

Today`s lesson is on motion systems, hope you did your facile homework! For further review, check out the online animation at the CDP website.

A little reminder

Hi Sec4,

Remember to do your facile learning assignment for tomorrow (Nov 15th)... it was originally due today but since we will be working on the lab and its write-up all class, I`m giving an automatic extension to those who haven`t had a chance to login and do the engineering section, topics 3 & 4.

next collection date for materials will be on Wednesday, Nov 21st.
- journal entry number 7
- lab write-up
+ ???

Journal entry

Hi folks,

A journal entry about Theo Jansen's wind sculptures is now in the journals section.  To be previewed in class on Weds, Nov 7th 2012.

Mr.H

New Section: Mechanical Engineering

Hi All,

To introduce the topic of mechanical engineering, we've posted a few videos about what mechanical engineers do.  If you're interested then let us know!
