Week Objectives 

Finals week

For Absent Students: 

Pick up missed assignments at student table in my class room (314)

**Quizzes/Tests will need to be made up during tutoring times - either during Block-Day Conference periods, after school or at lunch. 

1. Binder 

2. 5 tabbed dividers: “Bell work”, “Notes”, “Handouts”, “Labs”, “Assessments” 

- students may choose to take notes in a spiral notebook instead of loose-leaf paper  

3. multiple writing utensils including 1 red pen 

4. a planner - for assignment tracking 

5. Colored Pencils 

6. Calculator (4-function, minimum) 

- I will have 30 classroom calculators which can be borrowed  

Class Description 

 This class is an approach to physics taking into account both the conceptual and mathematical aspects of the subject. This will be a three-step learning process building understanding through exploration, developing comprehension through demonstrations, and applying what has been learned through a variety of inquiry-based activities. Physics will maximize the use of a student’s personal experience in the everyday world in their everyday language. The equations encountered will serve as models for understanding and predicting the world around us.   

Adhering to the following guidelines will be essential:  

1. Listen during lectures and lab work. 

2. Take good notes. 

3. Stay organized: Keep notebooks neat and organized.  

4. Complete all assignments. 

5. Always ask for help as science builds upon itself through the course. 

6. Stay positive!
