Midterm Week - Next week!

Period 3 and 4 Intro to Physics

Your exam is on next Wednesday, 1/22. I will answer any questions you still have before I give out the exam. I am also available by email (kraspallo@hopedaleschools.org) if you have questions over the weekend. I will be available on Tuesday after exams are done, as well.

The review guide is here.

I recommend re-reading the chapters. Pay attention to vocabulary and graphing (from chapter 2). You will be given the equations for the test. Bring a calculator!


Period 2 Conceptual Physics
Your midterm will involve a written portion - explaining why your original design did not work and how you will improve it -- and a practical portion where you will re-design and build a new contraption. We will not test these designs until after exam week due to how loud we are. Therefore, your grade will be based on the thoughtfulness of the design, your articulation of plans, and your self-assessment of your first design.

Period 5 and 7 Honors Physics
Your midterm is a lab. Please come prepared to work (in pairs or threes). Bring a calculator and writing utensils. Books are available in the room if you need to refer to them. You should not need to ask me any questions, other than clarifying questions.
