What we did in class: 3rd Quarter
1/29/2008 Spring pendulum lab
1/30/2008 Finish Lab
1/31/2008 Notes on Wave Properties, and began the slinky lab. We got through "destructive interference"
2/1/2008 Homework quiz and Slinky Lab PDR #1 Due Today!!
If you are missing the slinky lab, you can get the same information by looking at the wave reflections and wave interference web sites.
2/4/2008 Handed out PDR #2 information sheet. Gave tutorial on making flowcharts in MS Word.
2/5/2008 Notes on Wave Properties, slides 9-13, 17-20. Wave Reflection Practice sheet. Finish slinky lab if necessary.
2/6/2008 Ripple tank lab Wave Reflection . This is on the reverse side of the worksheet from Tuesday.
2/7/2008 Ripple Tank lab Periodic Waves.
2/8/2008 Homework Quiz, Finish Periodic Waves lab OPDR #2 Due Today!!
2/11/2008 Wave Sheet is a worksheet that allows us to practice working with properties of waves. You can find the answers on my Blog page.
2/12/2008 We will learn about Snell's Law and then work on Snell's Law worksheet.
2/13/2008 Ripple tank lab, Snell's Law. This lab is intended to show that Snell's Law is true for water waves.
2/14/2008 Happy Valentine's Day!!! We will look at Two Point Source interference patterns of waves by studying the patterns on the two point practice sheet.
2/15/2008 Last ripple tank lab: Two Point Source interference
