4/9 Alaimo

Today in physics, we started off the class with team farewells and Mr. Ebersole passed out new blue sheets for 4th quarter.  Michael shared Nathan's touching farewell note to the class and then we switched to our new seats.  We were each given a Properties of Light worksheet that corresponds with the Properties of Light packet that is due tomorrow.  The Star Light, Star Bright paper (pg.175-176) and The Electromagnetic Spectrum paper (pg.177-178) are also due tomorrow.  After settling into our new seats, Mr. Ebersole demonstrated how to measure the speed of light by melting marshmellows in a microwave.  He heated the marshmellows without letting the plate spin and measured the distance between the hotspots in the marshmellows (wavelength).  To calculate the speed of light, we multiplied the wavelength by the frequency given to us.  After the marshmellow demonstration, we turned in our homework from the previous night.  We then made smores and ate them as we started on the homework due tomorrow.
