Lesson Topic
entropy
Lesson Outline
Discuss the increase in entropy as it relates to the number of microstates and particles. Review Boltzmann law. Summarize the spontaneous reactions which occur. Discuss movement of gas particles between connected flasks and why the entropy of the system increases. Introduce the 3rd law of thermodynamics and " a perfect crystal". Discuss measurement or entropy.

Lesson Topic
work and energy
Lesson Outline
Discuss the observations of the effects of energy. Recall that impulse is force times time but work does not include a time element, but does include a distance element. Introduce work as net force over a distance. Force is in Newtons, distance in meters and therefore work is in Newton.meters or Joules. Determine why lifting an object over your head requires work, but holding the lifted object above your head does not. Discuss some forces that work is done against: elasticity, gravity, weight and friction. Introduce the concept of power as how fast work is done. Outline the formula for power determination and the unit as the watt.

Lesson Topic
lab discussion
Lesson Outline
Review, discuss, and analyze the results based on the determination of mass using a fulcrum. Elicit the word and mathematical representation for determination of mass by measuring distances from a fulcrum point. Use M1xD1 = M2D2. Answer all analysis questions from the lab sheet.

Lesson Topic
entropy
Lesson Outline
View and discuss Bozmann entropy equation. View from YouTube how to determine the number of microstates present, Bozmann's constant and the use of the natural log. Determine the entropy for a gas, as liquid and a solid at the same temperature. Note that the entropy for the gas is greater than for the liquid, and that the solid is zero. Summarize the entropy process.

Poetry
Lesson Outline
We studied how structure creates meaning by studying a "closed structure" Italian sonnet. I reviewed how stanza structure is used to create a shift in perspective and meaning. We further explored how punctuation creates a caesura or pause that can be used to create a shift in subject or perspective. We then parsed a Browning sonnet paying attention to the function of the stanza break shifting in perspective from the speaker's personal devotion to the speaker's regaining faith or spiritual devotion.

Lesson Topic
entropy
Lesson Outline
Discuss the dispersion of entropy. Elicit how and way thermal energy is distributed from matter . Discuss why the distribution/dispersion of the energy occurs depending on th number of atoms present in th system. Statistically , large numbers of particles increases the accuracy of the dispersion. Discuss micro-states. Introduce Boltzman's formula which will quantify entropy based on a constant, the number of micro states in the system, and the natural log of the number of microstates.
