Your Final is worth 15% of your semester grade. Which means to calculate your grade for the semester:
[(your grade before the final) x 0.85] + [(your grade on the final) x 0.15] = Your semester grade
First Semester:
You should fill out one page of your Final Topic Review Form (pdf or google doc) for each of the BIG topics we studied in class: Motion, Forces & Momentum. The smaller subjects (Measurement, Metric System, Torque, Center of Mass, Work, Power & Simple Machines) will also be reviewed but they don't need their own form.
Here is an old Review Packet for Semester 1 (pdf or google doc) that you can print out and complete on your own. The Rubric (pdf or google doc) is also available but don't look at it until you've completed the packet.
In class Review Notes:
Measurement & the Metric System: 2nd period and 3rd period
Motion (Linear & Projectiles): 2nd period and 3rd period
Forces & Newtons Laws and Torque & Center of Mass: 2nd period and 3rd period
Momentum and Work, Power & Simple Machines: 2nd period and 3rd period
Things you can do to study:
1. Review your Unit Outlines for each unit. They have a list of vocabulary terms, all of your equations and helpful pictures.
2. Review the Daily Warm-up Questions. If you have been writing your DWQs down each day you have a question and answer to study. A lot of those are on the test!
3. Review your old tests & Quizzes.You have all your old tests and quizzes to study from. Make sure you review the problems you got wrong so you don't miss them again.
4. Additional Textbook questions. These are conceptual questions I like:
pg. 25+ #7, 8, 16 (kinematics)
pg. 40 #8 (projectiles)
pg. 56+ #12, 13 (forces)
pg. 71 #4, 9 (forces)
pg. 83 # 6, 30 (forces)
pg. 100 #12 (momentum)
pg. 147 #9 (CoM)
pg. 166 #23 (torque)
Second Semester
This is the in-class review sheet (pdf or google doc) you worked on with the substitute last Friday.
The final review packet that you have been working on for homework (pdf or google doc)
