Daniel has possibly had slightly too much coffee to drink today.

"Okay, class. Sorry about missing Tuesdays class, the mun fell asleep before posting I  got distracted by something else, I'm afraid."

He delivers a lecture on the Greek alphabet.

"Homework... write about how the Greek alphabet is still utilised today."

Speech Comm

[She comes in and sets up the regular Friday snack buffet. She's got Chicago in the player, unsure if she's going to have any students show up...and doesn't really care. She's lost in thought...]

Library - 11/11

[swerval_zero]

The library is open. Zero is the only one manning it, so due to class constraints it may be found empty at some times. When she is there, she can be found reading up on contract law behind the Collections Desk.

Physics

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon, everyone. Sodas and snacks are near the roll sheet.

Today, we will be discussing Einstein's theory of relativity.

Newton's laws of motion give us a complete description of the behavior moving objects at low speeds. The laws are different at speeds reached by the particles at SLAC.

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity describes the motion of particles moving at close to the speed of light. In fact, it gives the correct laws of motion for any particle. This doesn't mean Newton was wrong, his equations are contained within the relativistic equations. Newton's "laws" provide a very good approximate form, valid when v is much less than c. For particles moving at slow speeds (very much less than the speed of light), the differences between Einstein's laws of motion and those derived by Newton are tiny. That's why relativity doesn't play a large role in everyday life. Einstein's theory supercedes Newton's, but Newton's theory provides a very good approximation for objects moving at everyday speeds.

Einstein's theory is now very well established as the correct description of motion of relativistic objects, that is those traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

Because most of us have little experience with objects moving at speeds near the speed of light, Einstein's predictions may seem strange. However, many years of high energy physics experiments have thoroughly tested Einstein's theory and shown that it fits all results to date.

The Doctor's Office Hours: Friday

Study Hall -- Friday, November 11th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

At the front desk, Sarah is killing time reading "Lucifer's Hammer" and shooting a dart gun with the little rubber darts at passing students without looking. The puppies and kittens are scampering around the floor in a playful mood, looking for people to pick them up.

The Swedish Chef and Schnitzel are both in the cafeteria today. Schnitzel looks like she's in a better mood than usual. And the Chef looks...like the Chef.

Guud Murneeng my leettle-a shellffeesh! Heppy Freedey!

Tudey's Menoo:

-Cheeckee in da beskee (beskee proovided in zee buck)

-PB&J

-Clem Chooder (Red oor Vheete-a)

-Pussoom Soorpreese-a

-Tecu Seled

One of the Chef's other chickens comes into the cafeteria with a cell phone clutched in her beak. The Chef grabs it.

"Hellu? Gunzu! Hoo ere-a yuoo my bloo leettle-a freeend?...Vhet?...Ooh my guudness. Sveet Ursoola, thet's hurreeble-a! Hees vhule-a heed in zee deep fryer?...Vhet dues Kermeet sey?...I understund, I shell be-a zeere-a es suun es I cun!" The Chef hangs up the phone and looks at Das Schnitzel.

"I em needed! I moost gu! Schneetzel, yuoo ere-a in cherge-a ooff zee ceffetereea! Be-a brefe-a my derleeng. Be-a guud tu her stoodents. Bork Bork Bork!"

The Chef bounds off like a superhero, leaving Das Schnitzel in charge of the cafeteria until he comes back.

Journalism Class - Friday November 11

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider appears to have almost finished with his colored arrows and little diagrams and the plans he was working on looked very different now. With a decidedly smug look on his face, he folded it away and reached for his coffee.

"Please remember that homework is due tonight by midnight," he began. "Today, I'd like to see several of you produce a faux headline for next week's student newspaper that you'd love to see and which you also think would produce a great deal of interest and perhaps boost circulation." Spider paused. "Try to keep it from actually being libelous."

CULTIVATION & GARDENING - Nov. 11th

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Welcome to class, I'm sorry I was running a bit late but if you're ready for a lesson, then so am I. I firstly want to point out that your Amaryllis bulbs are coming out to be a lovely little sprouts, they should bloom in a few weeks.

( Full-Grown Amaryllis )

As you can see here, they grow high and have wonderful large blooms. This is what yours will look like after a few weeks.

Today is not going to be a stressful day for any of you, I know some of you are still in mourning and I will not make you stress any more than normal. In today's class you will just inspect your plants and fill out the form below.

Wrestling Club, Cancelled

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

*PA crackles to life*

Wrestling Club is cancelled, on account of me bein' so nice to those JA folks, and not messin' up the gym before their precious little fashion show. Let me know if you kids want me to, you know, cancel Art class so you can have a big ole tea party sometime. *grumble, grumble*

That is all, knuckleheads.

*PA shuts down*

MATHS CLASSES: Friday 11.11, FST: 16:00-18:00

Charlie is sitting on his desk. Beside him there's a plate of brownies, a bowl of popcorn and a bowl with kiwis in. He's looking quite pleased with the world.

"Wallace Fennell has detention.

Barbossa is, if the radio is to be believed, a parrot, and will be excused from class until such point that he is no longer a parrot."

Introduction to Anthropology

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, class," Daniel says smiling at them. "Today we're looking at primatology. Before we start, I'd like to ask you to keep your seats at end of the lecture and observe a two minute silence for Veteran's Day at 11am." He looks serious for a moment, seemingly lost in thought before mentally shaking himself.

"Right. Primatology is the study of primates. It is a diverse discipline and primatologists can be found in departments of biology, anthropology, psychology and many others. It is closely related to physical anthropology, which is the primatology of the genus Homo, especially Homo sapiens. The fields cross over in the study of the hominids, which includes all ape-like ancestors of man and the other great apes .

Modern primatology is an extremely diverse science. It ranges from anatomical studies of primate ancestors and field studies of primates in their natural habitat, to experiments in animal psychology and ape language. It has cast an immense amount of light on basic human behaviors and ancient ancestry of these behaviors.

The genus Homo belongs to the family Pongidae. The family also contains:

• Pongo
(Pongo pygmaeus)

• Pan
(Pan paniscus, Pan troglodytes)

• Gorilla
(Gorilla gorilla)

Can anyone tell me what the more common names for those primates are? I'll tell you for nothing... Gorilla gorilla is a gorilla." Daniel grins.

"Now for homwork, pick a primate - any primate, and tell me all about it. What do they look like, where are they from, what do they eat... you get the idea?And if you could try not to all pick the same one, that would be very much appreciated. There's a great number of primates out there if you look."

Daniel held the two minute silence for all those who stayed, before smiling at them. "Thank you very much. Have a good weekend."

Physical geography #4

[notjustacabbie.livejournal.com]

The room is devoid of it's usual maps - instead there are containers of sea water and pieces of coal littering the classroom.

'Further to last week's discussion of hydrology, today's topic continues looking at another aspect of biogeography - the carbon cycle.

Biogeography can be simply defined as the academic study of the factors that control the spatial distribution of organisms. The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere of the Earth.

All life is based on the element carbon. Carbon is the major chemical constituent of most organic matter, yet by weight, carbon is not one of the most abundant elements within the Earth's crust. Only 0.032 % of the lithosphere is carbon.
