Physics Jokes
Chemistry jokes are funny periodically, but physics jokes…
The science of Physics creates long, complicated equations to explain why…
A photon checks into a hotel.
The front desk asks “Do you need help with your luggage?” What does the photon reply?

Alexander Von Humboldt
By Ron Liskey in Curriculum
Scientist Explorer
The German naturalist Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt’s (1769-1859), known in English as Alexander von Humboldt, is considered the father of modern geography and ecology. He was a German polymath, geographer, naturalist, explorer, and proponent of Romantic philosophy and science.
Humboldt’s quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography. His advocacy of long-term systematic geophysical measurement laid the foundation for modern geomagnetic and meteorological monitoring.
Physics
Seventh grade physics continues where sixth grade left off. This year, we make greater use of the scientific method to analyse observations. Main lesson book work is augmented with longer research reports and biographies. Topics covered include sound, light, heat, electricity and mechanics. Students begin each topic by examining their individual experience with the subject, after which the class moves through a series of demonstrations of key concepts and principles.

Physics
Sixth grade physics begins with an introduction to the scientific method focused on building skills in objective observation, and clearly describing these observations both verbally and in writing. Topics covered include sound, light, heat, magnetism, and electricity. Students begin each topic examining their individual experience with the subject, after which the class moves through a series of demonstrations of key concepts and principles.
The study of sound explores the sources of sound, how sound propagates through various media, and the concepts of vibration, frequency, amplitude, duration, tone, and timbre. The study of light includes an exploration of the nature of darkness and light, the properties of light, and the fundamentals of reflection and refraction. The study of heat includes an exploration of the sources and propagation of heat, and the effects of heat on matter. The study of magnetism includes the sources and properties of magnetism, the compass, and the concepts of magnetic attraction and repulsion. The study of electricity includes the sources and properties of static electricity, the relationship between electricity and magnetism, and the concepts of current, flow and charge.
Physics
Eighth grade physics continues where seventh grade left off. This year, we make greater use of the scientific method to analyse observations. Main lesson book work is augmented with longer research reports and biographies. Topics covered include sound, light, heat, electricity, as well as fluid and aeromechanics. Students begin each topic by examining their individual experience with the subject, after which the class moves through a series of demonstrations of key concepts and principles.
