Seniors finished their exams today and have officially left the building. Of course, they still have to return to make up missed work, turn in their books that they forgot to bring to class this week, plead with teachers for that "one extra point" that will tip their grade to the next level, etc., but the principle still holds. Juniors in Physics and Honors Physics will spend the rest of the year as slaves to my will - they are going to bench test the new Vernier Dynamics Tracks that the GEF funded through their grant program (Thank you again!), explore new labs to supplement the current lab program, preview physics videos for next year's classes...all things that will beef up their physics knowledge and help me out a great deal. And yes, it will count for a grade so don't plan on being slackers...

Physical Science completed their Magnetism exam today with a class average of 80%. Remember to keep the nose to the grindstone until the end of next week for prime MCAS performance. Monday's practice test will give you an idea of what to expect. BTW: I will post the answers to the MCAS Electromagnetism Practice on the class website later this evening. I'd suggest answering the questions as though they were an actual test and then checking your score. Isolate areas of strength and weakness and use that to guide your review for that topic.
