January 28

Today we began the wave unit. Most of the lesson came from a video we watched. The video explained waves as a mechanical disturbance in one place leading to a reaction in another. For example, tipping over the first domino will lead to a reaction in all of the others. There are many types of waves, such as sound and light. Also, we learned an equation that can be found in the reference tables (not on the back). The velocity is equal to the frequency of the wave times the wavelength.

Other than that, we looked at what we will study for the rest of the year, and most of the concepts are more advanced, like electrostatics, magnitism, modern physics, and DC circuits.

Im pretty sure this is how the scribe is suposed to do this, but forgive me if I am wrong.
