HONORS+PHYSICS+II

__**Fourth Quarter Final Project...**__ __**Option 1:**__ **S****ubatomic Physics** **1) read Chapter 22 in the textbook** **2) research subatomic physics online in and out of school** **3) present info following the same rubric as the modern physics project**

__**Option 2:**__ **Thermodynamics** **1) read Chapter 8 (Fluid Mechanics), Chapter 9 (Heat), and Chapter 10 (Thermodynamics) in the textbook** **2) research thermodynamics online in and out of school** **3) present info following the same rubric as the modern physics project**

__**Option 3:**__ **Physics Literature** **1) choose a fiction or non-fiction scientific book to read (must be approved by teacher )** **2) read book in and out of school** **3) write a 3-5 page paper (rubric will be specific to your book)** ***Note: while waiting for the book to arrive, read and outline one of the chapters above**

__**Timeline:**__ **April 17-27: read and/or research** **April 30-May 4: prepare presentation or write paper** **May 7-11: subatomic physics presentations** **May 14-18: thermodynamics presentations** **May 21-25: read papers** **May 28-end of the year: physics in careers, labs, and field trip to engineering firm (more details will follow)** ***Note: every Blue day will be devoted to building an amusement park as soon as materials arrive**

__// **My role this quarter will consist of the following:** //__ // **1) answering questions in class about the content you are reading/researching** // // **2) keeping you on task/focused** // // **3) assessing (grading) presentations and papers** // // **4) facilitating labs and the construction of the amusement park** // // **5) connecting physics to your possible future careers** //

________________________________________________________________________________________________ Magnetic declination is the difference between a compass's magnetic north pole and the geographic north pole. Earth's magnetic field changes with time and position. 1) What defines magnetic directions and what defines geographic directions (what are they based off of)? 2) What is the current magnetic declination in Philadelphia? 3) What is the current magnetic field strength in Philadelphia (note the units)? 4) If you wanted to walk to the geographic north pole, would you have to walk east or west of the compass needle's north pole? use the following sites for guidance: @http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/faqgeom.shtml @http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/declination.shtml @http://surveying-mapping-gis.blogspot.com/2008/12/magnetic-declination.html
