"Are not the gross bodies and light convertible into one another, and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter their composition?" - Isaac Newton

The short answer: yes-- E = mc^2

This is elegant relationship relates the mass and energy states that the two are related, and exist simultaneously.

If this sort of stuff is interesting to you, I recommend "the universe in a nutshell" by stephen hawking. He makes it easy to understand. It's quite mind-blowing!

Thanksgiving facts:
At the time of the first Thanksgiving, the pilgrims would have eaten eel, and not turkey.

Turkeys are one of the smartest species of birds.

Algebra 1 HW:
Two pages from the packet we got today: "Double Doggy Dare" and "Write the equation of each line" (It has 9 graphs on it.)

The idea for both of them is finding b by plugging the slope and a point into y=mx+b, and then finding the equation.


Don't forget to schedule a retake/make-up time for your test!

The FUTURE!

Enjoy your 3 day weekend!

Algebra 1: I'm grading the tests, and they are looking SO much better! A lot of you will be pleased to see your dilligence paid off!

Hon Algebra 2: If you need extra time, we'll take the first 10 minutes on Monday to finish the quiz. After that, what you have is what you have.

Random strange fact for your brain to chew on: The human sense of smell works when particles of the smelt object enter the nasal cavity. This means that if you smell flowers, a tiny tiny particle from that flower went in your nose. If you smell a cheeseburger, a tiny tiny particle from that cheeseburger went up your nose. This can get pretty gross if you think about it.

Hon Alg 2

There will be a quiz tomorrow on solving polynomial inequalities. For those of you that visited last time and couldn't comment, I've enabled comments for non-members.

It's 5 questions and 40 points (you can do the math). Shouldn't be hard. I'm not trying to trick anyone with these questions that are pretty much all straight from the homeworks.

No homework tonight.

Alg 1

Don't forget the test tomorrow! If you have questions, I've enabled comments for non-members.
