Wednesday, October 24

Homework for tonight: Answer, in your notebook, Physics to Go questions 1-4, 6, 8 & 9 on page 629 and 630.

Thursday: In class you will start by working quietly on a review worksheet, which will be collected by the proctor. When you are done, you should read the 'Reflecting on the Section and the Challenge' paragraph on page 628.

Based on the reading, and what you know about voltage, current, resistance and power, you will start to design your HFE home. Remember that you already have an appliance list in your notebook from earlier this year. Using the following website, http://www.energystar.gov/, look up the specifications (wattage, kw/hrs, etc.) required for the 5 appliances you want in your home. Keep this information in your notebook (title should be 'Chapter 6 Challenge'). Then, draw some rough drafts in your logbook of what you think the schematic of your house needs to look like in order to not go over the maximum allowed wattage.
**Revisit the chapter challenge explanation to figure out all the values are required for your home!

Friday and the weekend: Keep working on your schematic drawings for you HFE house.

Also, outline the 'Physics Talk' in section 6.5 (starts on page 633). Its REALLY LONG! Make sure you start working on it sooner, rather than later. Waiting until Sunday will mean a real headache (or a terrible outline!)
