Gravity Force Lab

Good morning Gentlemen,

The applet you will be using for this morning’s task is located here: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gravity-force-lab Go to that page and click download to run the applet.

Your task is to determine the factors that influence gravity, and the relationship between them. Can you work out a relationship? Do this without looking in your workbook or Google!

Once you think you know, check the equation in your workbook to see if you were correct. (I don’t expect you to work out the constant of the equation, just the terms and the relationship between them).

Use the applet to help you answer question 13 on pg 21.

AFTER you have done those tasks, you ou may find these applets interesting:

Work hard, be nice!

20 Feb: Fission Inquiry

Year 12 Physics Students:

Download this document and save it to your personal files. PhET Nuclear Fission Inquiry Lab Follow the instructions. Type your answers directly in to the document. Email your completed document to Mr McGregor.

Once finished, look at this applet about alpha decay and half life.

http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/alpha-decay

Then you can ‘play’ with some of the other simulations on the PhET website.

Year 11 Science – Computer Lab Links

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

Today we are learning about:

How current is different in series and parallel circuits

Your main task is to use an online applet to complete the worksheet.

1. Go to this website: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc
2. Click ‘download’ and then open the applet
3. Create the circuits in the applet, and write your results on the worksheet
4. Once you have completed the worksheet, show it to Mr McGregor

Once you have completed all of the questions on the worksheet, you can:

• Enjoy playing with the circuit, and see what sort of circuits you can make
• Go to this website to test your knowledge http://www.andythelwell.com/blobz/ Can you get 5 stars and earn the bonus?

Until the worksheet is complete you should be only doing the circuits listed on the worksheet!
