Day 1!

Day 1 for everyone today and, unsurprisingly, Day 1 business was on every class's agenda. We went over the syllabus, homework and laboratory guidelines, curriculum frameworks (for the Introductory Physics group), distributed books and discussed general expectations and content for the courses. Tomorrow, we launch into an introductory unit that will focus on the metric system, use of models in science, scientific notation and significant figures, graphing and unit conversion. Basically, reminding ourselves of some basic skills that one needs to conduct any form of science. The exception will be F Block, who will undertake their first lab investigation, centering around the use of the Vernier probeware system and how it functions to collect, present and analyze real-time data.

Welcome back everyone!
