we first solved some problems involving frequency, wavelength and velocity as well as period of waves.
The videos were a good reinforcement of the lesson
Sophia took her test. She answered in-depth about how incorporation helped big business grow and what some of the objectionable practices were. She received an 86%. Nice job!

Lesson Comments
We did not take our field trip this week because Sophia was absent for 2 of the class periods. This set us back. Additionally, her cumulative grade for the week did not reach the 85% that was needed to earn the trip.
She hadn't studied for the test today, but luckily still did well. She was supposed to finish outlining the chapter, as prep for the test. She can bring it Monday, but 10% will be taken off.
Overall, she is doing well with the information and linking the ideas much better now. She is not as concerned with history following a specific, perfect path. She is more comfortable with the trends and explaining them.
Diagrammed the above. Went over her homework. Took a quiz on 1800s business practices. Went over review for the test.
Assignment
Study for test tomorrow and finish outlining page 277.

Great job. Her letter from Swift to engineer covered a lot of ground. She received an 80% though, because it was two classes late. On her quiz, she received a 92%. Test tomorrow. Then, new section.

demo's went well and Sophia was able to solve problems using the formula easilyl
determine the period for pendulum of different lengths and masses. Illicit that the period is a function of the length only and not the mass. Define period and frequency and vibration.
Tr4ace on a moving sheet of paper the curve formed by a pendulum moving in a straight up and down motion. Define the curve as a sine curve and determine that the sine curve is used to represent a wave.

As usual. Sophis insisted on accurcy in the demo. She easily grasped the concepts of vibrations, period, frequency and wave diagrams.
