It's there. It's the moon. What do we think we know about it?
Today we explored the relative sizes and distances of near Earth objects including the moon and the International Space Station. Due Friday 1/5 ![]()
Today we finish up both our pendulum work and the black hole formation lab. Tomorrow we will all be back in the same place.
What did each period do today? 3, 5, 6, 7 - Black Hole Formation Lab Day 2 - see previous posting for handout. This can be done at home if you have a balloon and foil. We have time to work on analysis and explore black holes. See links below. Due Friday 12/15 8 - Pendulums Day 3 - Working with data What did each period do today?
3,5 - Black Hole Formation Lab Day 1 - see previous posting for handout. This can be done at home if you have a balloon and foil. 6,7 - Pendulums Day 3 - Working with data 8 - Pendulums Day 2 - Finishing up collecting data See below for the pendulum handouts and example data in case you lost yours. Make sure you look carefully at all data points to decide whether length, mass or both affected the period of the pendulum. ![]()

What did each period do today?
3,5 - Pendulums Day 3 - Pendulum Data 6,7 - Pendulums Day 2 - Finishing up building and data collection 8 - Pendulums Day 1 3rd. 5th period - Pendulums Day 2 - We will work on the data analysis on Monday.
6th, 7th period - Pendulums Day 1- We will have our second day of data collection on Monday. 8th period - We finished watching Ultimate Mars Challenge. We also worked on our analysis questions from the Black Hole Formation Lab. Please finish the analysis questions. Due Monday 12/11 Period 3,5 - Pendulums Day 1. We started building our pendulums and collecting our first data. Period 6,7,8 - Black Hole Formation Lab - We explored what happens to the mass, volume, density and gravity of star that turns into a black hole. ![]()
This activity should be done in your notebooks. Make sure to think carefully about how mass and distance affect gravity. ![]()
Today and tomorrow, we are looking at how we learn about the planets and moons of our solar system.
