Caerus Summer Mini-Class in July

Image
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer.  I've been enjoying catching up on some reading and doing some much needed house/yardwork. Most of you are may already aware of the following free class but I'd like to invite you all personally.  If anyone would like to hang out with us next Saturday afternoon and enjoy a really fun class, we'd love to see you.  Also, please bring a friend!  Do you know anyone who might be interested in taking a fantastic English, Math, History or Science class?  If so, bring them along (or forward them this email….or both)!   Last but not least, we'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to pass this down any group lists of Facebook groups you may be on.  Here's the link to the website.   http://www.caerusacademy.com/free-july-mini-class.html Thanks again everyone.  Hope to see you next week!

Fwd: Caerus Summer News: Mini-class and More!

Hi folks, I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for being a part of my classes this year.   There are so many different options for science education and I really appreciate the fact that you chose me for your science teacher this year.  Thank you!  I hope you all have wonderful summers and I hope to see all of you next year.  For those of you that I will not be seeing, my best of luck to all of you in everything you decide to pursue and accomplish. By the way,  just in case you are interested or know of someone who might be interested, Caerus Academy (the organization I do classes with in Chapel Hill) will be having a free mini-class in a few weeks.  The idea is to give everyone a chance to meet our three teachers and to ask questions/get information.  More information is below.  Please don't hesitate to post this to Facebook or any groups you may be a part of.   Again, thanks so much for being a part of the Science Jim universe this year!   Warmly, Jim Mueller Begin fo

4/29 Physics update and homework due 5/6

Hi folks, Today we took a bit of a deeper look into light and began our unit on optics.  We will do more with optics next week. For homework this week…I've changed my mind.  :) Remember that extra credit assignment I was talking about in class, well let's make it homework with extra credit possibilities.   Here's the scoop.  Take a look at this article by Randal Monroe from his What If blog.    https://what-if.xkcd.com/3/   You'll see how he uses different physics concepts and applies them to real world things even though the situation is fictional.  (Unless somewhere out there Yoda really is hanging out on some swamp planet…it's possible.)   Now you do it.  Pick any book, movie, comic or video game and apply some of the things we've learned this year.  I've included one of my ex-students papers for example.  It's very good be sure to take a look. For homework, Apply at least 5 different physics concepts to the situation.  Tell me how different physics c
