There is a new podcast that reviews some basic concepts from Ch. 6 and extends to atomic and molecular bonding concepts from Ch. 8 and Ch. 9. View all the diagrams and calculations by using GET or SUBSCRIBE button to download.

New podcast, new learning module

The new learning module, Module D about thermal energy, is available right now for work this week. With it is a new mini-podcast on melting ice, in our iTunes U area.

I will release another learning module on Thursday evening.

Two new podcasts

There are now two new mini-podcasts about Newton's three laws of motion, integral to Learning Module B.

You can view all the diagrams, notes and equations by following the directions in the YouTube in the iTunes U folder.

New learning module

Learning module B is now available in Webcourses. Look in the Learning Modules folder on the home page.

Also: expect at least two new mini-podcasts in iTunes U on Newton's three laws of motion.

A podcast for Ch. 2 example 2.4

We have an iTunes U podcast area that can be really helpful. I just created a new mini-podcast on how to work out Example 2.4 on acceleration and velocity.

Click on the iTunes folder on the Webcourses home page. There is an embedded YouTube there on how to view all the diagrams, equations and notes in the artwork track of each podcast.

Once you get into the iTunes U podcasting area, it looks like this.

Click the GET button and then the SUBSCRIBE button for future podcasts. I will try to create a new mini-podcast every week or so.

By the way, I will be going over the Example 2.4 on Monday with my lecture section, so you all are slightly ahead of them, by about one day. Nice.

Heat-melt-heat podcast

There is a new iTunes U visual podcast about the heating/melting process featured in chapter 4, specifically in Example 4.7.

I hope it will also help you grapple the mini-quiz calculation.

Have a look at it before exam 2 on Thursday.

iTunes U mini-podcast

I just set up a new mini-podcast, in our iTunes U area. You need iTunes to view all the diagrams and equations.

Look in the iTunes U folder on our Webcourses home page, and navigate to the podcast site. There is also a help file if you are still using Internet Exploder; Firefox, Safari and Chrome work nicely.

This first podcast is a combo podcast covering two big concepts from chapters 2 and 3. Future podcasts will cover other concepts -- right now, I am in fact working on a heat related podcast, similar to Ex, 4.7. Soon it will be ready and available in iTunes U, too.

New mini-podcasts

There are a handful of additional mini-podcasts in iTunes U, mostly about thermal concepts and exercises from chapter 13 and from the problem solving manual.

Several new mini-podcasts

There are several new mini-podcasts activated for you in our iTunes U area, over chapter 11 and 12 concepts. Some of you will find some extra discussions about atoms and pressure etc. that you've been tackling already in Discussions.

If you want to shoot for some bonus points, try the bonus learning module for this week, covering a few of the concepts in chapter 24 on the wave theory of the electron. It opens at 8:30 AM today, will close at 12:30 PM on Saturday.

Read carefully!

ALSO: there is a new mini-podcast on electrons and protons, in the iTunes U area.

Learning module for next week -- early birds

I have set the Week 15 learning module to activate this Friday, tomorrow, a little early, so that you can get an early bird start on it over the long weekend, if you desire. It covers chapter 23.
