Homework Due Monday Feb 21

1) Read the first two parts of the article "How Electricity Works."  You only need to read the first two pages (through Electricity Basics).  Take a minimum of 1 page of notes.

Notes Guidelines:
- Don't copy sentences word-for-word from the document
- Avoid writing long sentences - instead summarize and use arrows and diagrams to capture the main points
- Only write information that is new to you or is somehow important/memorable etc.
- Avoid writing a lot about the history of the stuff (unless it has to do with important developments in the theory of the subject or it describes experiments)
- Take notes that will help you on a quiz that covers the reading assignment

2) In your notes, write down any new words you encounter and look them up in the dictionary
Vocabulary words from the documents will be tested on the quiz! 

3) Think deeply about what you read.  In your notes, write a minimum of 2 questions you have about the concepts and ideas.
Read the assignment very closely and carefully and make sure you truly understand everything it's saying.  Let the ideas sink in.  Challenge yourself to not just absorb what it says but to also ask questions above and beyond the material.

4) Read "Atomic Structure" - "Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle" (p. 225 - 235 in HL book).  Take a minimum of 2 pages of notes.
Riya and Divya - can you borrow the HL book from Deshal or Aman?  If not let me know and I will scan the pages for you.

5) Find a photograph (or a couple photographs) which represent where you'd like to be in a year after you graduate from Calorx.
For example, if you'd like to attend a particular university, find a photo of it from the net.  The photo should be meaningful to you and represent what you'd like to achieve by next year.  Try to find a jpeg file if possible and email it to me.
