Questions to answer after watching The Elegant Universe
(string theory)
1. Describe in your own words, using 3-5 sentences, what string theory is.
2. How can the implications of string theory change the way we view the universe?
3. Do you think scientists will ever be able to fully understand and explain the universe? Explain.
4. Name at least one thing you think string theorists have right and one thing you think they are mistaken about.

Lab Quiz on the previous two labs is scheduled for Monday 3/7
Due:
Assignment
This Lab (Lightbulb and Ohm's Law) is scheduled to begin 3/2
Each student will be REQUIRED to print out this sheet or use the procedure they write in their lab notebook. You may not use your phone or someone else's printout of the procedure.
While I don't typically recommend using wikipedia, there is some good information when researching how a light bulb works (search: incandescent light bulb)
