Fwd: Please help me find a few good people!

Hi folks,

I hope you have all had a great summer.  This opportunity was sent to me recently and I thought some of you may be interested.  It looks like it might be quite interesting.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Jim,

Can you please help me with this? I only need a few people. I think it's different enough from what you do, as well, that it is complementary.

Advanced high school math and science calculus club reading Newton's Principia

Take a look at this sample: http://www.moebiusnoodles.com/s/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/PrincipiaSample.pdf

DOES THIS APPEAL TO YOU? DO YOU NOW HAVE THE UNSHAKEABLE DESIRE TO SWING VESSELS OF WATER AROUND TO CREATE VORTICES?

Matt Droujkov (16) is a poet and polymath who is excited about space. Matt is seeking fellow young adults who are comfortable reading at the college level and do not falter in the face of differential equations. We will read passages from Principia and meet online to discuss them once a week on Wednesday afternoons. We will convene in North Cary on the first Wednesday of every month.

Dr. Maria Droujkova will mentor and guide club participants. Maria is a parent, curriculum developer, and mathematics education researcher. You can see some of her work at MoebiusNoodles.com.

THOSE WHO ARE NOT EXCITED ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER AND PARTICIPATE ONLY UNDER THE DURESS OF THEIR PARENTS OR THE SOCIETY NEED NOT APPLY.

WHAT: A math/science/book club with a focus on interpreting Newton's "Principia" through writing, modeling, and making modern connections.

WHO: Matt, Dr. Maria, and 3-4 teen colleagues

WHEN: Wednesdays late afternoons, September to December, online (weekly) and face-to-face (monthly); meetings with local engineers and scientists by arrangement

APPLY: Email mattdroujkov@gmail.com if you are interested

 

Cheers,
Dr. Maria Droujkova

Some help with Ray Diagrams for Physics

Hi folks,

These websites do a very nice job explaining ray diagrams and how to draw them. There are videos as well.

Convex Mirrors http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refln/Lesson-4/Ray-Diagrams-Convex-Mirrors

Concave Mirrors http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refln/Lesson-3/Ray-Diagrams-Concave-Mirrors

Convex Lenses http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refrn/Lesson-5/Converging-Lenses-Ray-Diagrams

Concave Lenses http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refrn/Lesson-5/Diverging-Lenses-Ray-Diagrams

5/4 Physics update and homework due 5/11

Hi folks,

Today we spent a bit more time working with ray diagrams for lenses and mirrors since the last quiz seemed to indicate that a bit more work with with that concept would be a very good idea. We also introduced static electricity and did a short lab with that. Next week we'll spend more time with that concept.

Next week is our last week to meet other than the final and I'd like to allow time for questions and review. For homework this week, please spend time looking over your old quizzes. Bring any questions you may have to class next week for us all to take a look at. Remember, there are no dumb questions. If you feel uncertain about something, it's almost guaranteed someone else in class has the same issue…and they may not even know it.

Feel free to email me if you need some help as well.

See you all next week.

Physics Final Exam on May 19

Hi folks,

Just a reminder that we have two more classes and then the final exam.

To prepare for the final, I would highly recommend taking a look at all your old quizzes. The final exam will be based on the same material those quizzes were based on. Be sure to go over all questions that you may have missed and be sure to understand them so that you'll be ready for the exam. If you have trouble understanding where you went wrong, there's a good chance the material was covered in a recording and you can also email me if you need help. Feel free to ask questions at the beginning or end of class as well.

I'll provide all formulas and constants so you will not need to worry about memorizing anything.

Good luck everyone!


Never Stop Wondering,

Science Jim
