Meese 2/6

First off, I would like to take this time to applaud the effort of Mrs. Coats-Haan's hard-working student teacher. The sad thing is that I still do not know whether his name is pronounced like Eversol or Ebersol, but I digress. Today in 3rd period Honors Physics, we were greeted with reminding us of the slew of  assignments due this week. The Take Home Energy Lab is due on 2/7, the Lab Report is due 2/8, the Energy Test is 2/9 and the Windmill Project is due 3/9. While looking at thge board it is also quite easy to see that the homework tonight was page 193 #'s 63-67. To start off the physics portion of the class, we went over the homework from the weekend, which was #'s 55-60 on page 192 (I think). Our class is so intelligent that the only one that we could not figure out was by far the most difficult of the bunch, the dreaded number 60. Our beloved student teacher worked through number 60 beautifully, so that even I could understand it. The class then proceeded with a POGIL on spring constants in relation to energy. The POGIL was fairly involved but it was no match for my team of geniuses. We worked quickly and efficiently on the POGIL and were able to finish it in time to further discuss our windmill project. And believe me, as 3rd period Honors Physics, we definetly "stayed classy" throughout the remainder of our day.

QOD: The definition work = force x distance is not always true because this equation implies that we do work every time we exert a force, which due to the phenomenal teaching of Mrs. Coats-Haan we understand that that is not a true statement.
