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 11 Assignment
Today's assignment:
- Continue working on the Modern Physics research project.
- Due to the amount of people missing today, I will move the presentations to Wednesday June 2nd. This gives you guys Monday morning & Tuesday morning to continue working on your projects. Unfortunately, I was only able to book the computer lab for the second half of the double, so we will play a review game for the first block.

Physics 11 Assignment
Today's assignment:
- Continue working on the Modern Physics Research presentation.
- Remember you need to complete the 1st question before you can claim a topic to do a presentation on.
- Also, if you haven't already handed in the Nuclear Energy Research project, please do so.
On an unrelated note, it looks like the Ft. St. James Physics 11 class can't make it to play us in a game of Baseball as their class schedule doesn't match up with ours. Too bad I thought it would be fun. There is always next year though.
So far Cam, Gordon & Kat have chosen Quantum Teleportation and Brandon & Britni have chosen Solar Power.

Essentials Math 11 Assignment
Today's assignment:
- Complete the 3rd World Farmer worksheet
- Congratulations to Trevor & Jessie for matching my record by getting all the light bulb achievements in 16 turns! They earn each side a point. Also I forgot to give Sam and Savannah a point for their high test scores on the last two tests.
This means the scores in Block 2 are now 5 - 7 in favour of the Evens.

Back from Playland
We made it back yesterday and I'd like to thank all of the students, Ms. Hampe and our bus driver Dave for coming and participating in this event. It was lots of fun and I hope you students learned something or at least reinforced some of the things you have already learned.
The pictures I took can be found here
If any of you have pictures you took of our trip I'd like to add them to the gallery.
Great job to everyone and we'll try to do this again next year!

Off to Playland
This morning we head out to Playland with our motley crew of 18 physics & biology students to study the science of amusement parks and get a tour of UBC.
Any assignments that are given out by the substitute will be due when I get back (Thursday).
For my physics classes, you can find the assignments here:
Amusement Park Physics 1
Amusement Park Physics 2
Amusement Park Physics 3
If you guys finish those early, I've instructed the sub to give you an additional assignment. The best additional assignment will earn their side a point (the Evens could really use it in block 1)
