Physics

  • We had Mr.McCarthy for Physics.

  • We did activities surrounding renewable energy, like watching a documentary on harnessing solar energy and completing some questions.

Some forms of renewable energy resources include;

Solar power

Geothermal

Wind energy

Hydroelectricity

Biomass




  • We were going to make wind turbines, but instead we made rockets from recycled water bottles, cardboard and tape.

  • We launched the rockets from a pump at the field in school.



  • I was very confused when Mr.McCarthy introduced 'suvat equations of motion' to us!

  • But after awhile, I didn't mind working out the equations, once I had the right formula and figures!

  • These equations can be used to work out initial and final speed, time, displacement and acceleration, if at least three quantities are known.
