Thurs-Mon

Exam Friday.  You may elect to make it worth double a regular exam (finals credit) if you wish - all final grades (except this exam and the review game) will be posted in class Wednesday, including all labs.
Want to review?  Look to the chapter review sections in your book following chapters 3-5, and also parts of chapter 6 and 9 that we have studied the past week.  (p. 159&165 questions, plus content appearing on p. 254-257(top half), and p. 264-270.  )
If you would like to see answers from the textbook, my teacher's edition is at your disposal in class.  Just ask.  I'm also around to help if you need further answers/explanations.
Thursday and Friday last week we explored doing work and changing energy:  Thursday we worked a ranking task activity involving energy, and Friday we worked practice problems and answered homework questions/corrected answers to the p. 159/165 assignment. 

Today we had notes on heat (3 ways to transfter thermal E) and some demonstrations to match (most hours got to see them - some will be continued tomorrow.  In-depth examples were given for convection, and conduction and radiation were explained in limited detail. 
All classes got to see that water convects really well, but doesn't conduct thermal E hardly at all.
Tomorrow we will discuss energy in YOU and your food, where it and the matter accompanying it goes, and finish up demonstrations from today.  Wednesday we will have a TGT review game for bonus points, and Thursday will be independent review.
