-Background on AREA of civilizations. Explain the materials used and why. Compare one to another near the same period. What was the home used for? Did they cook there? What did the homes include? Were all houses the same? Did the size vary per class? Why? By How Much? Examples of some houses? What about Caves? Go into background for certain civilizations. Compare Far East to Mesopotamia and then Central America. Who ran the house? Why? What was expected of them?

History Seminar Period 2
The People’s Tycoon: Chapter 2
It is ironic to note that the man who claimed work as the cornerstone of his philosophy had very little fondness for physical labor. As a child, Henry rarely worked more than what he believed was necessary because he believed he was wasting physical energy. He sought easier methods and to find ways to lessen the harsh burden of the work. It was the “inefficiency of farm methods” that drove Ford into mechanics. Due to his fascination with mechanics, Ford also developed a hobby of repairing watches.
Early on, Ford developed an obsession with work efficiency. This may have stemmed from his dislike of manual labor, his mother’s philosophy of focused accomplishment, and Ford’s appreciation of mechanical powers. Another trait Ford developed early on was his tendency to devise a project and then leave the project for others to implement it.
Things changed dramatically for Ford on March 29, 1876, the day that his mother passed away during childbirth. The death of his beloved mother was the beginning of a tense relationship with his father. There had already been a difference in personalities between father and son, but after his mother’s death, Ford seemed to become more and more “chafed” by the rural constraints. Henry would later grow to state that his father resented his interest in mechanics. William Ford, however, was not the man Henry made him out to be. He was a progressive farmer who, yes, did desire that his son continue in his footsteps but who also believed in the future of the machine age. And while it is true that William Ford refused to ride on Henry’s “horseless carriage” the first time he brought it into the farm, his reaction was due more out of fright than resentment.
In 1879 when Ford was 16 years old, he chose to leave his home and go to Detroit. And while he states it was an act of rebellion against his oppressive father, Ford’s statement doesn’t seem to hold much truth to it. It was through a previous arrangement with William Ford that Henry Ford found work in the Flower Brothers Machine Shop. Ford was the type of person who was overflowing with ideas and plans for making things, but who never implemented or fulfilled them. Ford got the desire to build “something in quantity,” ever since he was a boy with the idea of paying off his bills by creating a watch for 30 cents.
In 1882, Ford began a period of ambivalence which would grow to last nearly a decade. He would straddle the worlds of urban Detroit and rural Dearborn – the future and the past. However, Ford seems to have discovered his life’s calling by working and maintaining Westinghouse No. 345. In many ways, Ford never really left his father’s farm at all.

Physics Period 1
Chapter 2: Sections 5-9
2.5 Free Fall: How Fast
Free fall- When there is no air resistance and gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object.
Elapsed time- Time that has elapsed, or passed, since the beginning of the fall.
Note: Acceleration = Meters per second……per second.
Acceleration of an object falling under conditions where air resistance is negligible = 10m/s2
- gravity(g) =9.8 m/s2
Instantaneous speed= acceleration x elapsed time
The instantaneous speed (v) of an object falling from rest after elapsed time t can be expressed as: v = gt
Objects thrown straight up: Going up, object slows from its initial velocity to 0 velocity
-Instantaneous speed is 0 when object is changing its direction of motion from Up to Down
-AKA when object is at its highest point
- The instantaneous speed at points of equal elevation in the path = same
2.6 Free Fall: How Far
How fast something moves =/= how far it moves
Find average speed by adding initial speed at zero and final speed and dividing by 2
Equation for velocity: v = at Equation for distance traveled: d = ½ at2
*Above is only true when the initial v is 0. If vo ≠ 0, you must add vo and vo(t) respectively
2.7 Graphs of Motion
-Graphs visually describe relationships (i.e. Speed and time have a linear relationship)
For every increase of 1 sec, there is the same increase in speed. CALLED LINEARITY
-Direct proportion
Slope: The vertical change divided by the horizontal change (rise over run)
Parabolic relationship: When t is doubled, d is quadrupled(distance depends on time squared)
2.8 Air Resistance and Falling Objects
Air resistance noticeably alters the motons of things that are light.
-Is not as noticeable in the dropping of larger/heavier objects (i.e stones)
2.9 How Fast, How Far, How Quickly How Fast Changes
Speaking about how fast something freely falls from rest after a certain time = speed/velocity
Speaking about how far an object has falled = distance
How quickly speed or velocity changes = acceleration
Acceleration is a RATE OF CHANGE
