So Spring Break is almost over.
Reminder to my Physics 11 and Physics 12 class to finish your Holiday assignment.
Also to the Physics 11 class, remember to complete your Rube Goldberg machine (and the accompanying lab report) and take a video of it in action! The best one that is completed by April 9th will earn their side a point.
I've already got one video from Cam and Gordon.
The blog for Mr. Arocena's classes. Recorded here are assignments, quizzes, tests, projects and the current scores for all teams competing for the Arocena Cup. Occasionally I'll post something else too (most likely pertaining to education)

Physics Notes for people who will be away
So this is for Britni and anyone else who will be missing Physics 11 the week we get back from Spring Break.
First Lecture - Thermal Energy
Second Lecture - Specific Heat
Assignments are included. You will miss a few labs but don't worry about making them up when you get back.
The test you can make up when you get back. Don't forget to post here if you need any help!

Essentials Math 11 Assignment
Nothing new today.
Hope you enjoyed the term so far. We will start a new unit once you are back from spring break! Until then enjoy your spring break.
Also Kalvin got the highest mark on the last test and brings the Odds to within 1. Scores are 3-4 in favour of Team Evens in Block 2.

Physics 12 Assignment
Nothing new today.
Thanks to everyone for helping develop that Conservation of Energy lab and figuring out what was wrong with the set up.
We started Part 1 of the Physics 11/12 Holiday Assignment and we will finish it tomorrow. Part 2 will be due after Spring Break.

Forgot to post yesterday.
Anyways, congratulations to Team Odds as Cameron aced the Work, Energy & Power test. Team Odds now leads 7-4.
Everyone should also have a copy of the Physics 11/12 Holiday Assignment and should have completed 10 of the 15 questions already. We will finish the rest of the questions tomorrow in class.
Also don't forget that you guys need to create a Rube Goldberg machine over spring break, make a video of it and a lab report.
The Holiday Assignment and Rube Goldberg machine will be due after Spring Break!
Also listen to the announcements after spring break for news on our Physics @ Playland field trip in early May.
