Metal heats up faster than water, because metal is a solid and water is a liquid. This is because water and liquid have certain heat levels so for water it would take longer (more energy) to heat up as opposed to metal that has a short level. Lastly something that heats up super faster than water and metal would be sand. Sand heats up faster because it has a lower heat capacity by a lot than water and its only the first few top inches that heat up quickly. This concludes three different substances that heat up at different rates.

“Doppler Radar”
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
4/9/15
Doppler Weather Radars are how meteorologists find out the weather forecast for the week. This is helped by finding patterns and trends.
Waves are used to show whats happening in the weather in terms of electromagnetic Radiation.
"Electron radiation is released as photons, which are bundles of light energy that travel at the speed of light as quantized harmonic waves. This energy is then grouped into categories based on its wavelength into the electromagnetic spectrum."
This is what I got off a site, now to me this is what the Electron Radiation does, and how it creates an Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Interferences

4/9/15
Today in class we had to learn the difference between Constructive and Destructive Interference.
Now, Constructive Interference is when two waves will hit each other and the troughs will be positioned with each other to make a bigger wave this only happens for a moment and when the waves pass by each other they'll go back to their original amplitude. In a Destructive Interference the crest and trough of two waves will be positioned to make the wave's amplitude smaller. When the waves hits the wave'll be smaller for a moment before the waves pass by and act as if nothing happened. In my life, something that really interferes in my life that makes a big impact are my grades. I always have to make sure they're at least at an A-. It makes an impact on how my family is viewed and how I want to succeed in my life. Something that makes is a small interference that makes a small impact in my life is when i don't show up somewhere, i know that i can come back anytime, that they'll be times I'm busy but i can make that up.

"Standing Waves"
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
4/9/15
Today in class, we did a Lab involving Standing Waves. Now Standing Waves are waves that look like they're moving but they're actually not. Ms.Reid held the huge slinky from one side of the classroom and tied it up about 6 meters away. We had a few practice runs and filled in a chart in order to do the math and average. But we had to calculate whether Frequency and Wavelength were related, and to see if these thing affected the wave speed or not, in which it didn't.

No Effect

Today in class we leaned about the Wave Amplitudes and how speed does not affect it.
In my life something I thought would influence my life but did not was bad was probably when I'm not paying attention in class and they call on me and I realize everyone's looking at me And I wsdnt to die because you heard nothing! haha I guess it made me feel dumb

Simple Harmonic Motion
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
3/31/15
Today, I saw Simple Harmonic Motion as an example in my life in three ways today. I saw it on my family's big old clock, where as the pedulum was a long thing dangling from the clock. Another example was swings at City yards , running errands , you see Swings and they remind me a lot of How it was described as swinging back and fourth. Also, last but not least I saw a guitar , but I'm
not sure it's all right , but my friend Jess has a guitar and it reminded me a lot about simple harmonic motion in terms of movement.

"No wires world"
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
3/9/15
I would name this world "Wires-Gone" because it is in a world where it is over , the crazy bunch of tangles going on everywhere, finally the world is at peace. Everything would change, most things would fail in such problems where you would have to charge things like a phone , laptop etc. A cool thing would have to be guess when there are storms and cars get all crazy they hit the post and they're cooked! literally!! we do not need that to happen... a fail in it would be how nothing would be powered as good i guess it would all be dead.

“No Wires World” Blog Post
You live in a world where electricity doesn’t need to flow through wires to light things up or make things work. Write a paragraph explaining what you would name this world, EXPLAIN one cool thing you could do with electricity without wires, and EXPLAIN one crazy or horrible thing that could happen with electricity floating everywhere.

Circuit Diagram
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
03/05
Symbols are used in the diagram to help us understand what is which. The object needs its own emblem to represent it. This is important in the world of physics because the object is used to image the object in a formal matter. Using symbols makes it much easier because we know which symbol is used for a certain object and we memorize that. Its a mental picture/reminder. Lastly, symbols make it a little hard to understand objects because of the mental picture. It is hard to remember.
EC: honestly words are kind of a necessity to remember but its hard!

Pretzel Circuit
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
3/2
In todays class, we took notes and discussed the pretzels being Volts. I was a light bulb and the "electrons" picked up two Volts from the battery, and dropped one off to me , and Jackson (the other light bulb)
This represented a Series Circuit, in which the voltage splits but the current, stays the same, flowing.
Also, Ms.Reid cut the current in half in which specific electrons gave off volts to me, then to the other lightbulb. But the voltage stayed the same.

Electricity so far
Melissa Gutierrez
Ms.Reid
2/24/15
Electricity is the flow of electric charge, that is used to power and create light/objects.
So far Ive learned that Electricity can also be very dangerous. Today in class we saw how if you over power electricity eventually a fire or dangerous problem can happen.
Electricity is important because without electricity we'd be cavemen.
Im still confused about understanding about volts/watts in electricity and circuits.
Im getting better at understanding the flow of energy and what it do/ how it is created.
I have a question about how electricity is stored in a laptop? is it powered through a charger? or like mobile phones ? because i know calculators are solar power, what about laptops/carried devices?
a bit random but..

Electricity is a form of energy that results from charged particles like the protons and electrons. Static electricity can be repelled when the conductor is used as in insulator.

Today in class, we discussed the way static energy works. Also, today we played with the Generator. The Generator sent some electrons, leaving the roller with a negative charge and creating the spark. This allowed us to see sparks hit the generator and the smaller sphere.
try to use a coke can? haha not sure

Insulators & Conductors

Period 2

Today, I came across metal, as an conductor. I came across now many Door Knobs today, and i know that is an insulator because it has a high resistance of charge. I came across a Insulator today, also by touching a wood pencil, my wood bed frame, and of course air. These don't let electrons enter in them and thats usually as it feels like.

Electric Light

Electric Light
1/21/15
The way the light bulb turned on was because the power did not come from the wire but from the battery, the wire just created a path leading to the bulb, thus making it turn on. Its the electrons traveling through!
