And....We're Off

Day 1 is officially here and folks got a good look at what's in store for them this year. Honors Physics was introduced to the lab program by running an investigation with the Vernier system to determine the relationship between the weight and number of pennies. Students had time to work with the equipment and see how data will be managed for these labs. CP Physics and Introductory Physics people got a look at the syllabus and course expectations for their classes and the resources that are available to them throughout the year. Tomorrow, Honors Physics will get this talk and the remainder of folks will embark on reviewing the scope of physics, the metric system and scientific method, precision/accuracy, significant figures, scientific notation and use of models. Basically, we'll start Chapter 1.
