Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 01/27/23

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN.

I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

The sonic boom problem - “Objects that fly faster than the speed of sound (like really fast planes) create a shock wave accompanied by a thunder-like noise: the sonic boom. These epic sounds can cause distress to people and animals and even damage nearby buildings. Katerina Kaouri details how scientists use math to predict sonic booms' paths in the atmosphere, where they will land, and how loud they will be.” (L:H; SA:M,S)
