Week 24 Blog, Due Sunday, March 3rd, 2013

The blog is back!  I know you've missed it.  This week we have been talking about waves and wave behaviors.  I want you to think about these concepts as you go through your life everyday.  Where are there examples of waves?  How about the different wave behaviors, reflection, refraction, doppler effect, diffraction, polarization, constructive or destructive interference, or resonance?  Give at least one example of a wave, wave characteristic (period or frequency) or a wave behavior that occurs in your everyday life.  It must be ORIGINAL, not copied from someone else.  For full credit, you must give one original comment PLUS comment on at least one other person's post.  Remember, it is due by 11:00 pm Sunday night.  If you have problems posting, you can always email me your responses at physicswithego@gmail.com.  If you have questions, please let me know.  Happy Blogging!

Week 21 Blog, Due Sunday, February 11th, 2013

Thinking ahead to TAKS, we have gone over cells, cell parts, DNA, and RNA. Log into this website to play a review game over cells, cell parts, and cell functions: http://www.neok12.com/quiz-games.htm (you will need to copy and paste the link into your browser).  Under life sciences, click on cell structures.  Play at least two different quiz games.  For your blog entry, I want you to tell me how you did.  I do not need a score or specific number wrong, I just want you to tell me if it was easy for you and you got most of them correct or you had a hard time and need more review over the material.  If you did not do so well, I would like to know what you plan to do going forward to ensure success on this objective on the actual test in April.  Remember, in order to get full credit, you must complete one original comment AND comment on at least one other post.  If you have any problems, let me know BEFORE the 11 pm deadline.  Happy Blogging! FYI: I posted the link in the Edmodo folder for this class as well as under useful sites to the right of this blog under Quiz Review Games.
