New Physics Project

Hey all,
I'm gonna try and get one of these going. They look pretty cool.

I love physics!

The best thing is, electricity is usually really hard to see. this makes it hang around long enough to be a visual thing. Awesome!

Shout out to Year 12 Maths!!

Hey, welcome to my blog.

Sometimes I will get you to come on over for resources, help with assignments or just random funny stuff.

Definitely worth bookmarking, and you can become a follower if you want!

Here's a funny one...

See you in class tomorrow

:)

This is awesome!

Hey all, hope you have had a good summer. Just about time for school again, I'm sure you are all ready and pumping!

This is a funny comic for all those who saw Avatar in 3d (or 2d). I managed to catch the 3d version in Vancouver. Awesome!

PS - let me know if you don't get it. It's ok. Not everyone gets maths humour.

Science Camp

Science camp is awesome!
We are in Rotorua at the moment, staying at Tim's and Faith's Motel. Yesterday we went to a place called Agroventures, where we all did a few extreme activities. Sprint jet boating, freefall extreme, the dreaded swoop, and the fast shweeb. Here are a few pictures.

Today we are going to check out some places with thermal activity.

Catch you later!

Text Books

Hey all,
Don't forget to bring your Physics and Calculus textbooks back to the library before school closes.
Also, I'm away for a while over the Summer Holidays, so may not have a chance to see your results when they come out. I'd love to know what you get, so if you remember, please email me how you went.

Thanks Guys.

That's All Folks!

Well I'm sitting outside the Calculus exams with about 10 minutes to go.
Nick reckoned it was hard, I told him to study but he just kept listening to music and then he stole my chair. He reckons he would have got a Merit. I'm not putting money on it.
Anyway, hope you guys did okay. I will do the physics and calculus exams this weekend and put the links to them up here. I know what it's like waiting for them, and I often think it's better if you have an idea of how you went.
Anyway, have a good summer if I don't see you again. Feel free to drop into school if you want to come see me - we have about another week to go.
Be safe, catchya next year,
Mr W

Great Physics Program

Hey all Physicists!
I have just found this awesome program that I will be using in both Year12 and Year 13 Physics next year. It gives you opportunities to play with things that you wouldn't normally be able to. Diffraction, interference, circuits, radiation, Doppler effect, and more.
Download from here:

After installing, you can apply for a home license, and that will unlock all of the aspects. There is some stuff about maths that I haven't looked at yet.
It's very worthwhile playing with this sort of thing in your own time, as you will recognise some of the phenomenon already, and what you don't know, I'll explain next year.
Have fun.
