[Archived]AP Physics Agenda

Here is the reference table if you need an online copy

Here is where you fill find the following:

1. Google Classroom Code: 6oz5e0

2. Daily Plan with relevant links of activities classwork, video supplements, problems, etc( not ALL but most relevant; the plan might include notes but mainly just an overview of what was done)

3. Where HW will be posted.

4. Book numbers

    • It is your responsibility to check this page DAILY to make sure that you are prepared for class and kept up to date. I will do my absolute best to mention everything in class. Google Classroom is NOT the agenda. It will just serve as a place to put various things that I do not want you to print.

    • Notes will NOT be posted as I write them on the board daily. If you are absent see the topic covered and ask someone for the notes( part of your daily responsibility) You are responsible for all material covered even in absence. If you have questions of course let me know

    • How to help!: If a link does not work, goes to the wrong page or is simply not there, send me an email!! Thanks . Ms. Lewis

There will be practice problems( when applicable) associated with these topics that will not be graded but would be good practice to do. On March 30, the topics covered from next week will be incorporated in some of the lessons/assignments.

Week of March 16-20- Check Here First to get guidelines for Monday & Tuesday( this will serve as extra practice days& time to see mini-topics)

Monday March 16

Tuesday March 31

    • Here is the key for yesterday's problems( in pictures!)

    • notes: capacitors in series& parallel( in the form of 2 ed-puzzles( you need to finish these by tomorrow by 12 pm). See Google Classroom for links/invitation.I would take these notes in your notebook

      • practice problems- pg 564 # 29,30,33&35

      • if you need extra review of capacitors, this is a good worksheet( not homework but good practice)

    • Not an assignment but I would recommend doing this: Practice Review problems- to keep you current(haha...) with what we have covered in this unit BESIDES circuits!

HW

1- finish Ed-puzzles & practice with capacitors

( Note! the practice review is for YOU! I would highly recommend you doing it since it has been awhile and you will need to know it for the exam)

Wednesday April 1

    • here is the answer key for the capacitor problem( Page 1, 2)

    • conceptual questions on the ENTIRE unit

      • have questions? Ask each other or visit my office hours

    • create your own FRQ review assignment. See HERE for instructions

      • here are the slides to pick from

      • fill out this spreadsheet once you have picked a slide

HW

1- Conceptual questions

2- Start FRQ assignment - you only are making the problem today. Once approved then you will make the solution!You will upload the problem to Google Classroom by Friday at noon

Thursday April 2

    • Answer this feedback form on this unit that we are in

Friday April 3

    • FRQ practice( electric field/forces & circuit practice). Follow the instructions listed in the slide.

    • if you had questions, visit my office hours!

Read: Monday you will have feedback on your FRQ review assignment. See the feedback and make adjustments. Next week we will spend time covering our last unit( magnetism & finishing up with power) If you have NOT yet been to college board to see how the exam this year will be handled visit the website. Hopefully more information will be coming out but if you have questions on the exam, Monday office hours would be the best place to ask them!

Week of April 6-10

  • ( the bullet points go in the order to accomplish)

  • Here is the link for my office hours( every M-F from 1:30-2:30). I might be with another student at that time, I will be with you as soon as I can)

Wednesday- Thursday

    • complete conceptual questions- upload to Google Classroom

    • view presentation on start of Ch. 20

Friday

    • complete knowledge check

    • do FRQ practice

Next week we will finish Induction( with conceptual & FRQ review). We will also begin the reviewing for the AP exam.

Week of April 27-May 1( Time for review!) This is a long agenda this week with important announcements so make sure to read it all!

  • Here is the link for my office hours( every M, W, F from 12:30 -2). I might be with another student at that time, I will be with you as soon as I can)

  • If you have not heard/know, college board is hosting sessions for all classes. Click THIS link

1- Take THIS survey to let me know your progress with magnetism

2- Since your exam this year will be open-note AND you do not have a lot of time to flip through your notebook, I would recommend going through your notes and creating a notes guide/ info sheet( at least a page per unit!). Here is a list of what I would include

3- How we will review. An overview( you can choose how you review). I will probably give you more than you need/wish/want but do what you can/ pick what is useful. If you are serious about the exam, you have to study & practice! Studying the night before is NOT recommended, since you are going to take TWO exams AND we have covered a lot of material .

  • FRQ Daily Practice: Until the day of the exam I will post an FRQ for AP1&2 daily with keys ( starting from April 27- May 12). Some are from previous exams and some are just good practice. Additionally, I will post some practice problems if you need them( I will give you what I have)! Pace yourself & have your notebook out while you do these! Remember that these FRQ's are DESIGNED for you not to finish or to get a whole question right- do the best that you can!!!

  • College Board now has the option to practice the types of questions. All that are provided are already unlocked and should be available for you to do when you want to. I do not believe that they are available for EVERY unit but I will unlock what I can.

    • If you have a Facebook or can access one, an account called Frensley Physics is posting DAILY practice FRQ's with solutions for Physics 1 &2. I have NOT gone through all of these but the ones that I have seen/done are pretty good. You can google their account and should be able to add their page and see what they are up to( even if you do not have an account, I believe you can). This is not broken down by unit but does encompass what you need to know. Some of these will appear in the daily practice guide above!

    • If you don't know, Youtube is hosting sessions going through each unit( more like a class). Here is the link for Physics 1 & Physics 2.

    • I am NOT saying that you have to do ALL of these things! Do what helps you. If you have a method that works best for you, do that!

Other tips!

  • Make sure you are checking your email daily / have Google alerts ready

    • Like always I will be available for office hours!

    • if you have a friend in the class who has not been tuned in with us BUT they are want to take the exam, please reach out to them so they know what is going on as they might not be checking email!

( IF YOU ARE FEELING LIKE FINISHING MAGNETISM)

4- View this presentation on a wrap up of ch. 20. I would not get too deep into this( in MY opinion, this can be confusing/frustrating). I would view the presentation and view this chapter summary here to get the main ideas.

5- Do these problems . Here is the key

6- Practice MC with answers

Extra: Want to know about transformers?

What is due this week by Friday at 11:59

    • Fill out this survey about your first week's review progress( I am expecting that you have started reviewing! )

You have finished all material for Physics 1 & 2 Congratulations !!!!!!

2) View the FRQ daily practice to continue to review

3) Make sure you have your info guides & equation sheets ready

4) Don't forget to breathe!!! You can do this. Do the best you can, I am incredibly proud of all of you!

Also, please check in on your other classmates & encourage them!

Just want to reiterate, After the exams

· Do not post anything about the test on Social Media.
