Homework Assignments...

Hope you are all enjoying your unexpected day off of school. While you are finishing up your essays this weekend for science and working diligently on your history papers, you can also head over to the assignments page for all your classes with me and print off the updated homework. I have things scheduled all the way through until Christmas. Let me know if you see any problems or errors so that I can go in and correct them.

Universal Gravitation Confusion...

It seems that Kepler's constant on gravitation can be a bit confusing. This problem came up a couple of years ago and you can read the explanation for this problem by clicking HERE and watching the video at the bottom of that blog post. Then come back here watch the video below to help understand how the formula was derived and when the formula cannot be used. This will hopefully clear up any problems you may have with some true and false questions on Test 7 which will be Friday, October 20th.

Mendelian Genetics Video...

We have been discussing Gregor Mendel, the Father of Genetics, and his experiment using pea plants as we learn about heredity in our biology class. Below is a great review video over the concepts that Mendel developed from his work with pea plants:
