Waves intro lab; HMWK for Monday, one more optional assignment

Thursday and Friday we'll be working on a wave introduction lab using mostly slinkys - hopefully fun and educational for most - I will help out with "expected" answers tomorrow in class.
Homework assigned for Monday:  Readp.817-822, p. 822 # 1-6... your last homework of the year.
:(  sniff, sniff.
Monday and Tuesday we'll have demonstrations and notes relating to waves and astronomy - sorry that we won't get to more than about 1/5 of our astronomy content this year.... just ran out of time.
Some of my past students are starting an Astronomy Club for next year; be on the lookout for events from them, probably starting with a lunar eclipse watch party in the early morning of Wed, October 8th as long as the weather cooperates.
Textbooks may be returned Monday, Tuesday, or on your final exam day.
One last optional assignment for those wishing to move their grades upward or stabilize their grades before the final:
PHET wave lab simulation
