How will we know the difference in alpha particle tracks and beta particle tracks when we look in the cloud chamber?

Schwab 4/26
Today we came in and turned in our homework "Nuclear read and react". (The one where we wrote a paragraph on the back) We Coats-Haan couldn't get us to focus and get on to the notes she introduced herself and went around and shook everyones hand. Then we looked at our other homework and texted in our results for #of mrem/yr. We moved on to atomic notes, in which we started to learn about different parts of protons and neutrons. We have no homework tonight! Our next quiz is on 5/7
also Coats-Haan kept saying "Neato"
QOD - Gravitational force- this witch was large, representing the fact that gravitation force is based on mass. this witch was also floating away representing the fact that it isn't very strong.
Strong Nuclear- this witch was a woman of color. I don't remember why exactly, it had something to do with the particles having color?
Electromagnetic and Weak Nuclear- electromagnetic had a stick that looked like it had electricity going through it, also she looked much meaner than the others. This is because she is the one that causes pain. Then the weak nuclear witch looks like she could be the same witch a electromagnetic, she is just hiding in a doorway in shadow. They look similar because now there is evidence that they may be 2 different forms of the same force

4/24 Lee
Today in class we were given the option to finish up the Camera Lab or work on the test review. We were, however, interrupted by a fire drill (a brief description of our exit route: exit to the right of the room and proceed towards the emergency exit staircase. Without talking please continue toward the bleachers of the track field and line up for attendance). When we returned to our room, we began working. The class was really calm and basically we got to work on whichever work we needed to.
QOD: Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light and “n” is the denominator in determining the speed so it cannot be less than one, in turn calculating a speed greater than 3x108.

4/23 Meese
This fine Monday in Honors Physics was a great one, because it appeared that no on had a "case of the Mondays."(I am counting on you to get that Office Space reference to add humor to my blog) The class was started off by turning in the webquest about Tiffany's diamond and the light waves worksheet. Then something happened that hasn't happened in quite a while, Coats-Haan emerged from a prolonged state of relaxtion and taught our class. It truly was quite a privelege for her to decide to share her knowledge with the class. The class was instructed to finish the telescope lab from Friday and then to proceed onto the physics dissection lab involing a disposable camera. We had to take apart the camera and answer the questions on the worksheet. Coats-Haan and I shared a laugh about Zach Sieber being in intense pain and the class proceeded. The remaining 30-35 minutes keft of class was left to the students to finish the labs. At the end of class we were reminded that we have a reflection and refraction test on Wednesday. Other than finishing the labs, there was no homeowrk, but the the test review is due on Wednesday. I am unsatisfied with the length of my blog, and thus, I begin to ramble. I wonder why God has forsaken me this week, for I have a test in all of my six classes, except band, I am extatic. Also, I want to point out that Coats-Haan hasn't told 3rd period to stay classy in a while and with this being the week leading up to prom and our proms theme is "keeping it classy", it just all seems to fit. I will end my blog by giving a shout-out to my bff Mitchell Clark who tore his ACL last weekend, keep him in your prayers for a quick recovery, because it couldnt have happened to a nicer guy (unlike Zach Sieber, of whom I would laugh at).
QOD: The focal length of a disposable camera is determined by taking out the inside lens of the camera and bring it closer and closer to a word on a paper until the lens focuses in and you can read the word. You then take a ruler and measure the distance from the paper to the lens being held in your hand.
