Ways Energy can behave: 1) Potential Energy is the energy of position. An object's mass and height give an object its potential energy. The greater the mass or the higher an object is, the more P.E. an object has. Potential Energy = (mass)(gravity)(height) or P.E. = mgh 2) Kinetic Energy is the energy of movement, motion. An object's mass and speed/velocity determine its kinetic energy. The greater the mass and the more speed an object has, the more K.E. an object has. Kinetic Energy = 1/2(mass)(velocity)(velocity) or K.E. = 1/2 mv2

               Ways Energy can behave:

     1) Potential Energy is the energy of position.  An object's mass and height give an object its potential energy.  The greater the mass or the higher an object is, the more P.E. an object has.

  Potential Energy = (mass)(gravity)(height) or P.E. = mgh

     2) Kinetic Energy is the energy of movement, motion.   An object's mass and speed/velocity determine its kinetic energy.  The greater the mass and the more speed an object has, the more K.E. an object has. 

Kinetic Energy = 1/2(mass)(velocity)(velocity) or K.E. = 1/2 mv²

E. Energy in a Roller Coaster Ride

"This interactive roller coaster ride produced by WGBH illustrates the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. As the coaster cars go up and down the hills and around the loop of the track, a pie chart shows how energy is transformed back and forth between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy."

Play with the interactive roller coaster ride here:Click Here to PLAY!

How does the PE and KE change at each of the 6 steps?  Think of the position and speed at each position.

*Totally awesome science pic/gif of the day*

This is a list of completely amazing pictures/gifs I found on the internet today.  Enjoy!  

6.                                                04/03.20

I took this picture on Sado Island, Japan a few years ago.  

Observation: I see a bumblebee hovering over a sunflower; they are the same color.  The bumblebees ignore me; they are too interested in the sunflowers.  

Inference: The colors of the two have some sort of importance.  Bumblebees don't really care about stinging me.   

Research: There is a link!

5. This may sound strange, as it's a chilly grey Monday, but I'd much rather be teaching Science in 508 today.  Yes, the initial walk would be annoying, but once I'm in the strutting groove listening to my Science podcast, feeling the humid, chilly air on my face....  I feel so alive.  Anyways, I felt like getting off the planet, so I been looking at images from the Hubble telescope.  Just amazing and enlightening . 

This spiral galaxy is located about 425 million light-years from Earth; it's in the constellation of Pictor (the Painter’s Easel).  Spiral galaxies are found all over the cosmos, and makeup 70% of the known galaxies.  

Observation:  Just wow.  It's so far away and so huge; I feel insignificant and inspired.  Wish I had this as a spinning gif on my ceiling.

4. It's important to stay active.  Health equals wealth.  Our immune system depends on it!  Get up and dance some!!!!

If you don't believe me, ask  --->>> click here let's dance

                     03.26.20

3. This is an image of  SARS-CoV-2 attacking a cell that is in apoptosis or committing suicide.  I find it amazing that there are SO MANY viruses in the pic that are attacking the cell.  Upon observation of this image, I can infer that there are many, many viruses compared to the number of cells in my body.  Am I right?  I dunno, I'd have to do more research.....

2. This is a picture of water droplets, loaded with potential energy, getting ready to drop onto the Aluminum electrodes which will convert the mechanical energy of the water droplets into electricity!  The possibilities with this make me smile :)

1. Check out this garter snake (it's a carnivore and a predator) with dinner (I'm not sure what kind of fish, but it's the snake's prey) in its mouth!

What Science video is Mr. Considine watching today?

I like watching Science videos, documentaries, movies, and all sorts of clips.   Each day I will upload or link a video I am watching at the time.  I will keep them related to the content we are learning in class in someway.  The questions that follow should be answered in one of three places; 1) If you have that notebook I gave you as a "gift" use that, 2) Make a separate section at the end of your Lab Notebook, like your Science Notebook glossary, 3) Make a separate section in your Science Notebook reserved for this. 

H.         04.03.20

The original source of energy the for planet.....

An old video of Convection Currents

G.   I enjoyed watching this show with my kids years ago; while we sit at home for these next few weeks, I think we are ready for a re-watch.  

03.27.20

F.  It's Friday night. The science video for you all is all about transferring the chemical energy in food to mechanical energy in your bodies.  It's important to stay physically fit and active during these strange days.  

Here is a video I'm converting chemical energy into mechanical energy to at the moment. :)

   

                                03/26/20
E.        Bioluminescent Mushrooms!

Bio meaning life, luminescence meaning chemical energy converting to radiant energy.
Observation:  I see fungi glowing green.
Inference: I infer they are are doing this for a very specific reason, as most fungi do not radiate luminescence.
Additional Questions:  Why do they they do this?  Why don't all fungi do this?  Why doesn't the mushroom on my pizza radiate green light?  Why is the bioluminescence green?  Why not orange, purple? 

D. Satisfying Slow Mo Fruit Ninja - The Slow Mo Guys 

Prediction: I predict that someone is going to be hit in the face with a piece of fruit. 
Observation: I saw someone get hit in the face with a fruit.  
Inference:  I bet that hurt. 
Additional Thoughts: I remember reading once that tomatoes are both fruits and vegetables.  I wonder how much they spent on all of that produce.  I wonder which of my students would enjoy throwing fruits at me...???

C.   What Happened Before History? Human Origins

Prediction: I bet life was colder, hotter, more dangerous and much more smelly/malodorous/foul smelling/stinky!

Observation: For most of human history, life was CHALLENGING.  

Inference: Based on human history, we have a lot to be thankful for today.

A.

Taking the Heat

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/taking-the-heat/

In his pursuit of strong materials, David Pogue, technology columnist and host of NOVA's "Making Stuff," wants to know how firefighters dress to boldly enter blazing buildings. In this video, Pogue visits with chemist Rich Young of DuPont to see how a material called Nomex withstands heat and flame.

Q/A
1. What is the Independent Variable?  Dependent Variable?  3 Constants?
2. Why would the outcome of this experiment benefit firefighters?
3. Would this Nomex make a good conductor of heat or insulator of heat?  Explain your response.  
4. Would this sort of heat transfer be primarily conduction, convection or radiation?
HINT: You have to watch the Is fire a solid, a liquid, or a gas? video first, from GC.
