[2]You can use paper, but the stretchy kind are easier and better.
[3] This is the block of the syllabus, and the numbers that follow are the dates that they will happen, the first is for A day classes, the second for B.
[4]Note that this column is for things to be brought to class turned in, or checked at the beginning of class.
[5] This is section 2-1. It starts on page 40 of your textbook.
[6]We will stamp your completed problems at the beginning of class. Sit down and open up to your homework first thing every day that there are problems to be checked. Come with the solution, or if you don't have a clue, at least draw a picture of the problem, and label the picture with the numbers given in the problem.
[7] These are practice problems from the book. P2A is Practice 2A on page 44. Staple them to your acceleration worksheet when you turn them in
[8]These take about 20-30 minutes. There is a time limit.
[9]This lab is outdoors, and we will avoid downpours and temperatures below 55o only. If it is canceled, it will fall on the next appropriate day, so bring your rain jacket and be prepared to go outside in a light drizzle or in cooler temperatures. In the event that we are rained out for many days in a row, we will drop this day from the syllabus, and have the test one block earlier.
[10] Just write a note saying that you personally matched all the plots.
[11]You can use the entire block if you need to, but no more. People usually finish early and work on something else. Bring a good book to read if you are up to date on everything.
