Welcome to the Fall of 2011!
Thought for the day: A. Einstein once said, "the inconceivable
thing about the Universe is that it is conceivable." ...This means that because our Universe follows scientific laws,
and that because we can understand the rules that matter and energy follow as they react and the
Universe evolves.
This Spring semester, I am instructing two classes in Physics, two in Physical
Science, and one class in Meteorology.
Meteorology is an upper division elective. It is a class that is certainly
relevant in today's curriculum because of it's integrated nature which consists of concepts in these various fields
of science, physics, chemistry. This class has frequent labs, and computer
resources. It is dynamic academic area, constantly in your face and changing. Its in the news daily
and often excessive conditions are happening, such as Moscow as of Jan 5, 2012 still hasn't had winter conditions and only this
week has the midwest had a winter. NOTE: After school tutoring in any Math and/or Science
class offered at any LPS highschool. Tutoring time is held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights at Littleton
high school, room 107. Tutoring provided FREE to any LPS student from the staff of Lockheed-Martin. Use the
Entrance one in the south west entrance door, nearest the Forum from 6-7:30 pm. Located off Littleton Blvd
and Broadway, (Ne CORNER) behind the Dodge Dealer.
This photo of Comet 17P/Holmes was taken with a SLR Nikon digital camera mounted on a tripod and exposed for 8 seconds.
OUR LATEST ASTRONOMICAL PHOTO Taken as part of our Astronomy Class outing. We took this latest deep space picture taken
with the Heritage High School, 10 inch Meade Schmidt-Newtonian telescope with a Meade Sky Imager CCD camera. The image is
of M 57, (NGC 6720, a planetary nebula, in the Constellation Lyre, during the Chamberlain Observatory Open House held on Saturday,
September 22, 2007, in Denver. The nebula lies 2,300 light years from Earth and is 2.4 light years across. The magnitude 14.7
central star is visible in the center, surface temperature 120,000 degrees Kelvins. The ring is of rapidly expanding gas layers
from a star that exploded its outer layers of gas about 1,610 +-240 yrs ago. The gas is expanding at a rate of 12,400 to 18,600
miles per second (44.6 to 66.9 million miles per hour) and is composed of oxygen and nitrogen inside and hydrogen on the outside.
The expanding gas is shaped like a torus or bi-cylinder.
This photo was taken Wednesday 10.24.07 just before the full Hunter's Moon from Writer's Vista Park in Littleton. This photo
shows specifically the impact crater Tycho. It's actual diameter is 85 kilometers (52.7 miles), and it is clearly visible
on our Moon's surface without a telescope. It is the central feature on our photo. The radiating rays that converge at the
crater are composed of material ejected during the impact that created Tycho crater. They are interpreted as evidence that
this is a young crater because they haven't been obliterated and erased by later impacts. Tycho Crater is close to the southern
polar region of the Moon. The dark flat areas are referred to as Mare meaning seas a name given by Galileo when he viewed
the moon's surface in 1610 with his telescope. Rocks brought back from the moon have shown these dark areas to be layers of
basalt erupted onto the surface, filling in a low spot created by a previous or causative impact.

All Heritage Science students and families: Please check the course titles for information relevant to your students success
this year. Most information will be posted here or hot linked from here to other sites where you will have access.
I will provide daily information about each course, such as homework, collected work, classwork and lab work and handouts.
Please feel free to use any information available on this site, such as parent information, the tutorials, multimedia chapter
powerpoints, video linds chapter study guide, and parent-student guidelines. Grades are posted on the school site. Please
feel free to communicate via my email. Please remember, it does take time to grade papers and make-up work for absent students
so don't expect an instantaneous turn around, that isn't realistic. There is some sort of homework every night that each student
can be working on and everyone can keep up with those assignments on the assignments page. I hope each of my students learns
something new every day and enjoys the experience.
