Monday - Friday

Our first full week of school - ugh...However, every day brings us closer to summer, so all is not dire....

Physical Science reviewed for tomorrow's exam. We walked through the chapter and addressed any questions that arose during the period. Remember that both lecture and lab material can appear on the exam, so don't forget about your Making Cents of Math lab and how to calculate/interpret slope and the equation of a line. Don't forget your calculators, either, as they can be used on the test. On Wednesday, E block will conduct a lab on velocity and B Block will review their exam and begin Chapter 10. E block will review their exam on Thursday.

Physics G conducted two investigations that allowed students to analyze aspects of motion with constant acceleration. The big key is the interpretation of the graphs that you produced in class. Can you explain what each graph says about the object's motion and how each graph relates to the others. For your Picket Fence lab, concentrate on your values for acceleration due to gravity and the precision of your data. We will go over the lab tomorrow, so make sure to have completed the lab sheet and the lab synopsis. Further, we will review the 2.2 section review homework and discuss the final section of the chapter, which deals specifically with free fall motion. F Block Physics discussed free fall motion today and will conduct their lab investigations tomorrow. Wednesday is set aside for exam review, so come prepared with questions.

Honors Physics completed their discussion of one-dimensional motion today with an exploration of free fall motion. We reviewed Friday's lab investigation and used it to help clarify points in the lecture. Note: a number of folks did not submit a lab synopsis. I talked to one of you and made arrangements, but the rest might want to have that piece completed by tomorrow. I'll take it this time, as this is your first lab, but remember to turn in your synopsis with your lab sheet for every lab. If you have trouble writing your synopsis, ask me for assistance. Tomorrow, we will review for the Chapter 1-2 exam, so come with any questions that you want addressed.
