This is where you will find information about Mr. Chamberlain's current classes, including: reference tables, notes, assignments, and rubrics. Start by clicking on you class listed below. For the week of 5/27-5/31 Mon Memorial Day Tues Rube Goldberg Project Wed Rube Goldberg Project Thurs Rube Goldberg Project Fri Rube Goldberg Project Rube Goldberg Machines You will have to construct a machine to pop a balloon, with at least 6 movements or operations. Each of these operations should relate to one of the units covered during the year, and you can’t use an operation for more than 1 unit. (Mechanics, 2-D motion, Energy, Heat, Waves, and Electricity and Magnetism) You must submit a poster for your machine. It should have a sketch and have each movement labeled with the appropriate unit of study and an explanation of how it relates to that unit. At the end of the project you will present your machine to the class. It should run correctly and you should be prepared to answer questions about the machine, and explain how the movements relate to the six units. Scoring Completed machine (0-7) ___________ one movement for each unit:(0-1) Mechanics ___________ 2 Dimensional Motion ___________ Energy ___________ Heat ___________ Waves ___________ Electricity and Magnetism ___________ Working Machine (0-9) ___________ Completed Sketch (0-10) ___________ one label for each unit:(0-1) Mechanics ___________ 2 Dimensional Motion ___________ Energy ___________ Heat ___________ Waves ___________ Electricity and Magnetism ___________ one explanation for each unit:(0-2) Mechanics ___________ 2 Dimensional Motion ___________ Energy ___________ Heat ___________ Waves ___________ Electricity and Magnetism ___________ 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 Course Outline: Unit 1: Mechanics Unit 2: Two Dimensional Motion Unit 3: Energy Unit 4: Heat Unit 5: Waves Unit 6: Electricity scoring rubric 2 points (diagram) 2 points (givens and unknown) 2 points (equation) 2 points (substitute values) 2 points (answer and unit) 10 points possible 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.
