Day 4 September 12, 2013
Hi Classes,
I am out today :-(, so here are the plans:
Period 2: We are working on mechanical equilibrium. Click on the document below (Forces in 1 Dimension Directions) for your assignment. It goes along with this website (http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/forces-and-motion). If you have trouble with the computers, there is also a book assignment you can do instead (so try to make the computers work!). If you have trouble printing, just save your document in your google drive, or email it to me. Emailing may be the easiest option.
Forces in 1 Dimension Directions
Also, bring in your quality point forms by tomorrow, please!
Period 3, 4(rotating) and 5: You will be completing an online simulation today to review the idea of velocity and how velocity, position, and acceleration relate. The website is here:
http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/moving-man
The assignment is here: Moving Man Directions.
If you have trouble with the computers, there is a book assignment too. But this one is way more fun! If you can't print, just save your work in the document in your google drive, or email it to me.
Period 4 and 5, you may work in pairs if the computers are running low!
I should be back tomorrow so we can discuss what you have done today and move ahead with new work. Feel free to email me with any questions/problems. I miss you already!

Day 3, September 11, 2013
Hello Classes!
Period 2: Read p. 12-22 and complete the 5 Concept Check questions at the end of each section. We will discuss this chapter tomorrow and look over some trigonometry we can use to solve problems.
Period 3: No class today!
Period 4: Speed Worksheet should be complete; no class tomorrow
Period 5: Graph Matching Lab will continue tomorrow (or begin for some of you. . .)
Period 7: We will begin the Graph Matching Lab!
Have a great afternoon! Stay cool!

Day 2 September 10, 2013
Hello Classes!
Today's rundown and tomorrow's preview:
Period 2 (rotating today): Completed prac B in ch. 2 You should have a good understanding of how velocity and acceleration are calculated. Expect a quiz on Friday! Graph matching lab begins tomorrow.
Period 3: Completed Speed worksheet today. We will do more review of converting units Thursday! Also, beginning a new lab.
Period 4: Completed the conversions worksheet today and corrected yesterday's graphs. We will do some speed equations tomorrow and possibly start a new lab.
Period 5: Completed practice B in ch. 2 and graphing analysis. You should have a good understanding of how both velocity and acceleration are calculated. You may have your Friday quiz on Thursday since we drop out on Friday! We will begin a graph matching lab tomorrow.
Period 2 (Non-rotating): No class today. We will continue the mechanical equilibrium work and some trigonometry review tomorrow!

Great week, classes!
Conceptual Physics (period 2): No homework. We will continue working on equilibrium and some trigonometry problems in class on Monday.
Honors Physics (periods 5, 7): no homework. We will work on Chapter 2, Motion in One Dimension, on Monday
Intro to Physics (periods 3 and 4): If you did not complete your 20% Time Survey, please do so over the weekend. Keep thinking about your topic ideas. We will be working on motion and speed on Monday.

Day 5
Period 2: Bridges were tested. Period 2 has the distinction of having the bridge that held the most weight, and the bridge that held the least amount of weight. . .
Books and ch. 1 tomorrow!
Period 3: We set up Google accounts today. Bring any questions to me tomorrow. No homework. You will be working on your air resistance vs. gravity tests tomorrow.
Period 4: We set up Google accounts today. Bring any questions to me tomorrow. No homework. You will be working on a scientific method worksheet in pairs tomorrow.
Period 5 (Rotating): No homework tonight. Tomorrow we will begin working on sig figs and practice A in ch. 1.
Have a great night!
