Yes, it is Tuesday

Honors Physics A endured their final exams today. Lots of blood, sweat and tears, but it didn’t turn out as miserably as many people expected. We’ll go over the tests in class tomorrow.

Physical Science B didn’t meet, but E Block did and we reviewed the momentum short answer questions before hitting the heavy stuff. Students were given the released version of last year’s MCAS exam to work, independently. We went over the multiple-choice items and then targeted specific items that gave folks problems. Students were then given copies of exemplars provided by the state for the open-response items. By the end of the LONG block, students had a pretty good idea of where they stand in terms of the material. We’ll keep reviewing up to the bitter end (exam is next Wednesday and Thursday) to maximize student performance.

Physics F recuperated from their day of exams and students got to see their test papers, although they could not keep them owing to G block’s exam not occurring until Friday. G Block, itself, did not meet, but we’ll catch up tomorrow.

Homework

Honors Physics A: None
