Hello everyone. I am in high school physics and currently using the 5th edition giancoli physics book. Is anyone familiar with this book? How good it is... Also if anyone is familiar with this book could you recommend another book that goes over things that this one misses. Or could anyone...

Hi, I am new here, but I am in need of some help. I am in a High School Physics Honors class, and I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on a good quick presentation with a demonstration that gets the class involved. Please note that the maximum time is set at 10 mins, so this must be a...

I am needing to design some experiments for High School Students to explain Osmoregulation without harming the organism or experiments concerning excretory organs or systems. Does anybody have any ideas or references I could turn to? Thanks Nautica

Just thinking about this a bit and I wondered what other stories we may have. For me, it was my high school physics and computer science teacher - my senior year. Until then [and until we left the gang-bangers of SCal and moved to Northern California] I was only in class because I had been...

If the coeficient of friction is 0, than I don't need any force to push it? If it is .5, I only need to push 50% of it's total vertical force? I think I got this right. Which is why sliding is sometimes more efficient than lifting, right? If something had a coeficient of 1.5, you are...

And for all of the American high school seniors, that means it's decision day! Final decisions for which college to attend are due May 1st, so by now everybody must know where they're going. So where are you going? Personally, I'm headed off to Pasadena, CA for four years of pain and...

My school is making the students take a test that compares us with all the other schools in our area. It includes mental mathematics, number sense, reasoning etc. Unfortunately, I forgot a lot of the way to solve these things and a few are 'trick' questions. I need help on the ones I am...

Do y'all think it is possible for one to be good at math later on in life? The reason I ask is because, in high school, I was making C's in math. Actually, I almost failed algebra. But now, in college, I'm making A's in Calculus.

Don't know if this is in the right topic, but it must be close. I'm starting a new programming course in High School soon. It's called "Intro To Programming", and teaches use of VB.net. I figure it is an easy course, since I did do a bit of programming prior. Plus, I've heard classes...

Hey all, I'm a junior in high school and taking physics. My teacher isn't really one of the best teachers, and we do nothing from a textbook, all done from her drawings/lectures from a whiteboard. It's safe to say I'm just about completely lost in that class. We have a test coming up...

I am new here. I was hoping to get someone to help me. I am a senior in High School. I am hoping to get into Physics and Mathematics. I hace tried to find some good reading material for these subjects. I haven't had much luck due to the fact that I am in the middle of a technology black hole. If...

How many people bought class rings from high school? I always thought it was a waste of money personally, just like letter jackets. Who actually wears them out of high school?

I am a high school student who needs help understanding some aspects of Physics. My main areas of deficiency are: Average Speed while falling for time,t: Vave= (1/2)v , and projectile motion on the moon. (1/2)at I am really struggling to grasp these concepts so...

hi I'm new, I'm a high school dropout and have a love for science. nice to meet you.

Hi, I am a high school student, and I am planning on going into quantum computers as a profession. However I have failed so far to find any resources or teachers, organized in any fashion to help me to get a head start on the subject before I have to tackle it in college. I feel it is very...

ok: so i got this project for physics, and we have permission to ask ANNYYYOONNE we want for ideas/help...and well, please help! we have to build a car that can travel a distance of 8-12 meters. it cannot be propelled by human, animal, or commerical propulsion. it must stop automatically. it...

I have come to the conclusion, through 4 years of Hell/High School that it is nothing more than a place for social development and clique's. I have found only higher level math and science classes actually teach, all other classes are for social skills and to pass the time. Did/does anybody...
