Today we got new seats, handed back some papers and posted new grades. The 4 1/2 week mid-term grades go out this Friday, so it's important that you have all your work caught up and turned in. I won't accept anything after Friday.
Also, those that missed the test need to make it up before Friday. Right now, it's a zero in the gradebook.
We started our new unit, cosmology, the study of how the universe began. We're going to look at the formation and life cycle of starts, how elements are created and the theory of the Big Bang.
We talked about the fundamental constructs of the universe: Matter, Energy and Forces. We then broke these down in our notes. You can get them HERE. Read them over thoroughly. We'll be testing on this stuff soon and often.
An extra project is also available this unit. I want you to show me visually either the size of the universe or it's age. Compare it to something that we're familiar with.
A great place to get an idea would be www.google.com . Do a search for Age of the Universe. I can do this too, so make sure your work is original.
This will be worth 20 extra credits points, about the value of a test. Those that are struggling should take advantage.
Monegan out.
