Agenda October 17 Earthquake Day
After a weekend of 6.7 inches of rain in the Santa Cruz Mountains at my house we have a sunny day. No Earthquake today but then the Giants aren't in the World Series either. Science teachers worked on Next Generation Science Standards though I have a question about some of the standards and how they are expressed. Light is said definitively to act as a wave (according to the standards) but how come it is bent by gravity (like a particle)?
Well, on to next week.
