Welcome: Introductions

Greetings friends! My name is William Strait. I am presently a Science teacher at Huntington High School in Cabell County, West Virginia. The purpose of this blog is to help illustrate the impact of the glass and ceramic industries in conjunction with my content area. We will experience this adventure from a three-pronged approach: historical, social, and scientific. We will explore the historical nature of the glass industry in its various incarnations. We will address the social and economic impact of the industry through its evolution to present day. And, we will use the physics of glass to impart on students the real-life connection between the principles we learn in class to their true application.

To my Honor's Physics students, this blog will now serve as a primary source for the remainder of the semester. Edmodo will still be available, but now lessons and samples will be linked to this blog for your reference, as we develop our understanding of optics, fluids, and thermodynamics. Check back often for updates, and I encourage you all to take a look at my fellow teachers and their sites.

Mr. Strait
