You will be learning about paper airplanes and doing an activity to see which ones fly the most.
You will need a few pieces of paper. (If you don’t have the tape, it is ok… use something else.)
Also there should be no cost to you other than paper.

I have also attached the instructions on how to fold different types of airplanes.


Let me know if you have questions.
Also, this is for Monday-Thursday (no assignment on Friday)

Follow the instructions on the attached document.
Click the link to go to the simulation.
Do the worksheet for the first day.

Click systems for the 2nd day and mess with different combinations.
Tell me 5 things you learned or found interesting about what you worked with.

Watch the Bill Nye video and fill out the types of heat transfer on the sheet.
You do not need to do anything past the "lava lamp" statement.

Please complete this temperature conversion worksheet.
You must show work! Anyone can type it into a converter.

Use the following article to fill out this notes sheet.
You will have some more temperature conversion problems tomorrow.
Make sure you show your work!

Please turn in your final submission of the Nuclear position paper.

Write your 6th paragraph for your paper.

Write your 5th paragraph for your paper.

You are to write your 4th paragraph for your paper.

You are to write your 3rd paragraph for your paper.

Today you are to write the 2nd paragraph for the Nuclear Position Paper

Last assignment you had to decide whether you were for or against nuclear energy. You will be writing a paper.
I expect you to write a paragraph each day and at the end of these days you will have a final paper.
Today you are to write your introduction. The paper will be due next Friday, 4/24
ATTACHED is the requirements of the paper.

Your statement of whether you are for or against nuclear energy is your thesis statement.

IF YOU PLAGIARIZE, you will receive a zero (0). You may not just copy and paste. It must be in your own words.
Spelling: -1 for every 3 errors

You are going to be writing a paper. It is a position paper.
You need to decide whether you are for the use of nuclear energy (as in power plants) or against it.
You need to watch these videos (I also encourage you to find some more supporting different positions).
You need to respond with a private comment on what you will write the paper on.
Are you for nuclear energy or against it?


The next few assignments will be to help you write the paper in sequence.

Read through this powerpoint and fill out the concept review.

This will be your last assignment until next Wednesday.
I will be posting that sometime over break.

Read through the Powerpoint.
Fill out the concept review.

Watch the lecture video presentation. Start video at 20 sec mark

Complete the Nuclear Decay Calculations (1-8)
Make sure to show your work!
You can do it on a separate sheet of paper (turn in a picture of it) or in a doc

Watch the video then answer the questions below in a doc or private comment.

Where is the most radioactive place on earth?

What occupations receive the most background radiation?

Who actually receives the most radiation of anyone?

Tell me something interesting you learned, other than those facts above.

Watch the video

Click on the link and fill out the Personal Annual Radiation Dose Calculator
If you don't know the answer to some of the questions... research them. i.e. elevation

Post your radiation amount in a private comment. Don't forget to turn it in when done.

Watch these two videos.

Name the types of nuclear radiation and what can stop each type.

When is radiation harmful?

Answer these on a doc or in a private comment. Don't forget to turn it in if you do a comment.

Take this Quiz
You may use your notes.
put your answers in a doc and turn them in.

Click on the two links below.
Each link has an interactive in which you can explore refraction and lenses.
Use both interactives.
For each tell me 3 things that you learned or found interesting about how light works within the refraction interactive then 3 more things about the optics bench interactive.
It can be turned in as a private comment or a document.

Note: Make sure you change things within the interactive. i.e. substances and lens type and size and location of image

Use the videos and your knowledge to help you complete/answer the following:

1) Draw a picture of a double concave lens and then a double convex lens (yes you have to DRAW IT).
2) Draw a picture for each type of lens having light bend as they pass through them from far away (parallel rays).
3) State a purpose for each type of lens (convex and concave)
4) What is another name for each type of lens?
