Fridey!

Honors Physics went over their practice final exam and we took time to go over some, more troublesome, items in detail. Use the exam as a general outline for walking back through the chapters while preparing for the final on Tuesday. Drag out your old tests and use those, as well. If you are missing a test, I can give you a copy. You can email me over the weekend if you have questions about the material for the final exam and don’t forget to come armed with questions on Monday.

Physical Science B went over, as a class, the momentum review questions. Yesterday’s practice MCAS packet had a good number of momentum problems to work, so I didn’t include any extra in this review piece. If you want extra review problems for momentum, just ask me and I’ll draw some up for you. Attention then turned to the next MCAS area – heat and temperature. After reflecting on the heat strands, students were set loose to begin working on the review questions. We’ll go over these on Monday and also get practice working with heat, specific heat and temperature problems.

Physical Science E spent time going over their practice MCAS packet. We went through the multiple choice questions that had been assigned as homework and then discussed strategies for attacking and conquering the open response items.

Physics F and G went over their practice final exams and we spent time working through specific items that gave students difficulty. For both classes, email me over the weekend if you run into questions during your preparations – this is especially true for F Block, since your exam is Monday!
