Good morning, all!
Today we started potential and kinetic energy. We are taking notes from the board and will look at some examples over the next few days. There are three (3) vocabulary words that go with this topic. They are energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy. We wrote them down today and their definitions. We, also, discussed what they mean. We are not going to be using the word 'stored' when talking about potential energy anymore because the state does not want us to. They say it is misleading. We will be referring to an objects position as potential energy. I have a short quiz scheduled for Friday, since we are going to be working on energy projects. The projects will be interrupted on Monday, however; for my student teacher to begin her part. She is going to teach them about atoms. Atoms are part of our standards, too, so we are not getting away from what the state wants us to know. I will be picking up with the energy projects, when her time with us is complete. We will review the information before we continue with the projects. The quiz Friday will have the vocabulary words and questions from the notes we take in class. If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a super week!!!
