6th Year Physics Blogs: Blog Assignment

Unfortunately only 4 blogs out of a possible 6 were created.

I would like to commend those students who participated in this assignment...Lee Wolohan, Chris Doyle, Niall Canavan and Ryan Hennessy. I hope you learned something new and enjoyed the assignment which was aimed at integrating your I.T. skills with the Leaving cert physics curriculum.

The following are links to the 4 blogs-blogs created by 6th year physics students. They may be helpful to you and your classmates in your study of physics.

I would like to encourage you to keep these blogs updated and also become a follower of this blog, which will then update you every time I post something new on it.
