Class 10/23

During this day, we had a class discussion day. We discussed the difference between density and pressure. Density is m/v, and it can't have a different density of the same material, the ratio is the same. We also learned about pressure. Pressure is: P=fw/a or n/mm squared. I was glad that we discussed this in class and went over the different formulas. They are sometimes confusing on what is really being asked. After reading it in the book then having Dr. E go over makes things become a lot more clear. This showed me that as a teacher I might think the ideas in the book make sense because I really understand them, the students might not. Taking time out of our day to go over what we read will allow for less confusion and more understanding about ideas.
