[A cool wave exparament I found]

I was just looking around on the usual places and I found something that some of your students might be interested in. It is using ultrasonic standing waves to levitate objects.

 

[Determining g Lab Deliverable]

Recently students in Mr. Fullerton's regents physics class have taken up an important task, calculating the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. This question was answered in a simple manner, by dropping balls on the English classes below them. The known and accepted answer by the scientific community is 9.91 meters per second square, but did these students get that answer? The answer was not exactly that. From two students tests Ben and Gerrard the calculated value was 11 meters a second square. With a 12 percent error this may be the best these students could do with the equipment available. In the future perhaps their will be a better way for high school students to calculate this important figure but for now we will have to accept what we can get. Hopefully it was worth interrupting English classes below but that’s a story for another day.

Have you seen an MRI Machine spin up

its all physics.

[About Me by Katie B]

I didn't find chem fun really it was really easy i hope physics will be fun too.

[system.out.println("Hello World")]

Hey everybody well first off I just started taking physics and I can tell its going to be a great year. To start here is a little about me. I'm active in preforming arts as i am employed by my school to run sound and lights for concerts and other events throughout the year. I also am a student lighting designer/ sound engineer for musicals and plays at the school. In my free time I like to experiment with electronics, and am constantly working on a new project, I en joy playing cello, and I work for a local production company.

I am taking physics because I have always been intrigued by how things work and am constantly taking things apart and fixing them. To me physics is the same i'm learning how the universe works so I can take it apart and know how all the parts work. I feel it will be a fun experience for me and I hope to learn as much as I can from the class and hope to have fun at the same time. In all I believe it is important to know some aspects of physics and hope everyone can have fun while learning in class.
