MATH
"Mathematics may not teach us to add love or subtract hate, but it gives us hope that every problem has a solution."
This week we celebrate all of our efforts and learning this year by looking back and summarizing the material we have mastered.
Algebra: Students will create an image in the Desmos graphing calculator using all of the functions we have worked with this year. This project will be their final exam grade, and is due Wednesday May 29.
Geometry: As this is a tenth grade level course, we will be reviewing the year's work and taking a final exam Tuesday and Wednesday of the final week (May 28 and 29) similar to the high school.
Tutoring: Thursday before and after school or by appointment. mlund@neisd.net
SCIENCE
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
-Bertrand Russell
We will continue working on our Physics unit to better prepare our students for high school Physics. We started with one dimensional kinematics, focusing on velocity, position, acceleration, and displacement.
Students will continue working on lab simulations where they can practice manipulating variables such as height, mass, velocity, to determine the effects on other variables. We will focus on how the laws of physics apply to everyday life, focusing on the following questions:
How does gravity work?
How does friction affect the motion of an object?
How Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to different situations.
How is momentum changed when an object's mass or velocity is changed?
How is potential energy affected by height and mass?
How is kinetic energy affected by velocity and mass?
Tutoring is offered on Mondays and Fridays from 3:45-4:15.
