What do you need for class?
Notebook specifically for this class. A 1 inch three ring binder works best for this class, as we have a lot of worksheets and handouts. I
Scientific calculator - TI30XIIS is the most common and economical calculator. A graphing calculator is even better, but more expensive. Make sure that your calculator can be used on the SAT.
What can parents donate to class?
Box of tissues for students.
Hand sanitizer
Grading will be as follows:
80% Assessments,

Types of Assignments in Physics
Homework problems - Conceptual questions or mathematical problems that require a step by step solution in order to earn credit. Credit is based upon providing written responses in sentences or completing the problem, not for accuracy. We will check problems as a class.
Labs - Labs will be performed in groups. Data should be recorded independently. Lab reports are usually completed by each individual student. The work done in the report is to be the student's own work.
Tests/Quizzes - Tests and quizzes are independent work to demonstrate a student's understanding and abilities using physics.
EQUATION LIST - Students, you will be responsible to create an equation list in the back of your notebook as the semester progresses. Most students use the last 3 to 4 pages of the notebook for equations. This equation list will be very useful during the semester. For the semester exam, you will most likely use this list as one of your resources for your page of notes.
Khan Academy - a website with video tutorials and progress quizzes.
Veritasium - Great science ponderings on YouTube
