Assignments
2 Labs: (There is no write up for the rocket competition)
Where am I (Done in class)
Vernier Trajectories (Simulation on computer)
2 PreQuizzes/Skill Sets (The skill sets are like tests)
3.1 – Vector math
3.2 – Projectile Motion
Homework from 8 nights
A Test on chapters 2 and 3. I will put review materials on the website – the test is hard and you will need to study. You will have to be able to do picky stuff like in Projectile Motion #5 and #6 and #1 and #2 to get an “A”.

[1]These are the items on the internal assessment that I will score for that particular lab. For class points, you need to do what the lab asks, for IB assessment; you may need to do more. If you are an IB student, you may affix a practical work cover sheet to the front of the lab, and indicate which areas you want me to score.
