Welcome to the wonderful world of physics.  In this class we will explore the reasons behind the things we experience in our everyday lives. 

Here are the things you need to know about our class this year.

T – Take responsibility
Be on time and prepared for class everyday.

H – Have respect
Use proper language
Respect other people and yourself

S – Strive for excellence
Always do your best.

Supplies:
Notebook
Calculator (Scientific)
Pens or Pencils

Absentee Policy/Make-Up work:
It is the student’s responsibility to make up the missed work within one week of an absence.  Homework should be completed on time. I give class time to finish the work so that I can guide the students through the problems.  Please do not copy homework in the long run you are hurting yourself on the exams.


Extra Help:
I will try to be available for help after school on Tuesdays.

Quarterly Grading:
40% Tests/Projects
20% Homework/ Classwork / quizzes
20% Labs
20% Participation

I am here to help you learn. Do not hesitate to ask me questions or find time to see me if you need help. The hardest part of physics is putting in the practice, and setting the problems up the correct way. If you put in the effort you will be surprised what you can do. You get out what you put in. I am looking forward to having a fun and productive year. If you have any questions or concerns I may be reached at the science department phone #448-9669 or by email mchamberlain@pittsfield.net
