Day 148

(IWB - Day 147 Heat Engines)

We discussed section 11-3 notes on heat engines and energy conversions.  Using the flipchart, I showed video clips of internal and external combustion engines, as well as a clip of the Phoenix roller coaster to visualize potential to kinetic conversions.  We completed worksheet 11-16 together using a pendulum demonstration, and we completed worksheet 11-11 together to identify the greater influence on kinetic energy, mass or velocity.  Students were then assigned worksheet 11-9 to complete within their groups.  We went over those answers and the ones from yesterday before the end of the period.

News article #31 is due on Monday, and the Chapter 11 Test will be on Wednesday, April 24th.
