Lab designed to demonstrate free fall and "zero" gravity.
Analysis questions followed the procedures

View and discuss a video which which explained and demonstrates the 4 major quantum numbers, what each one represents, and how they can be used to identify the electron orbitals of an atom. Discuss the Pauli exclusion Principle.

I worked with Joshua to create the remaining center text for his seal design.

I will share the chapter 5 notes with Josh as we wrap up the first semester.

We explored the poetic techniques of apostrophe , metaphor, symbolism, and structure using Housman's poem "To an Athlete Dying Young.." As the poem is an elegy, we explored how the predictable regular meter and rhyme scheme function to mirror the predictability and inevitability of death. We then discussed how "runners running the road" illustrates the archetypal metaphor of life as a road. Last, we analyzed the speaker's ambiguity toward death as he on one hand applauds the deceased as a "smart lad" but then depicts death with ghastly images. We will continue with this next semester as we finish Unit 8.

Joshua opened his project and we created a ring of vertical lines. We moved on to create two pairs of inner text.

As Joshua will be reading Huck Finn over the break, we continued yesterday's lecture on the novel Huck Finn in order to provide context and literary guidance to assist Joshua's reading. (We will continue Unit 8 tomorrow).Today, I specifically addressed Huck's character metamorphosis with reference to events in the novel that signal a new or changing identity such as Huck faking his own murder and hence his rebirth, and Huck's ongoing name changes . We further discussed how Jackson Island is depicted as an Eden ,and hence the symbolism and foreshadowing of the snake bite. Critically,I emphasized the moral choices Huck is faced with throughout the novel, and what his choices evidence, a new and separate moral code than the conventional morality of society which somehow supports slavery and a religion that justifies slavery. Further, in this regard I noted how Jim, a runaway slave, becomes a father figure to Huck thereby shattering everything Huck has been told or taught about enslaved African -Americans.

Answer and discuss 6 questions from the textbook which involve determination of orbitals and electron numbers located within different sub shells . Solve wavelength and energy questions.

Describe and define parts of a sine curve wave. Indicate the crests, trough, amplitude, and wavelength. Discuss wave frequency in units of Hertz. Determine the period of a wave by definition. Discuss differences in wave speed based on medium. Determine velocity of a wave based on wavelength and frequency. Elicit formula. Sketch and describe transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Discuss both constructive interference and destructive interference.

Joshua continued working on his project in Illustrator. He completed the final touches on his project.
