HOLIDAY BREAK HOME WORK!!!!!!!! JUST DO IT!!!

Hey everyone.. below you will see your assignments we EXPECT you to complete over the holiday break.  Its broken down by classes:

Freshman Physics:  This packet is a review of all the things we've covered so far, there is nothing new, it is just practice.  Complete all of the "example" parts.  It will count as a TEST grade and it must be turned in on Wednesday, January 4th. Winter Packet .  Also, here is a .pdf of the slide show we've been using in class UCM Slideshow

Junior/Senior Physics:  This packet is a review of all the things we've covered so far, there is nothing new, it is just practice.  Complete all of the "example" parts.  It will count as a TEST grade and it must be turned in on Tuesday, January 3rd. Winter Packet

AP Physics:  You know what you have to do... Here are the links. AP Winter Packet , AP Equation Sheet , Physics for Dummies , AP Electric Current and Circuits Chapter Presentation ,
AP Electric Current and Circuits Practice Problems , Khan Academy: Physics .  Sorry, I couldn't upload the textbook.  For those of you that have borrowed the text, use it!

New Policy Changes That Affect Everyone

Policy Changes - Starting After Break

1) In order to retake the test, you must show proof of studying. Proof of studying consists of:

a. A pre-test worksheet to be submitted prior to the test that day.

b. A pre-retake worksheet to be submitted prior to the retake that day.

2) Labs must be done on an individual basis. Everything must be typed with the exception of the calculations.

a. Procedure (Whatchadid)

b. Observation (Whatchasaw)

c. Calculations (Whatchadid with Whatchasaw)

d. Conclusion (Whatchalearned from Whatchadid with Whatchasaw)

3) Blogs

a. Blog posts must be done before the next class.

b. Starting January, blogs will be checked the day that they are due at 3:00pm.

c. The blogs must be written with attention to grammar, spelling, and clarity.

d. The rubric for blogs will be as follows:

i. Comprehension (15 points)

1. The student does not comprehend the blog assignment.

2. The student shows marginal comprehension of concepts.

3. The student shows comprehension of the subject.

4. The student shows mastery of the subject.

ii. Clarity (10 points)

1. The student was not coherent.

2. The student shows 1 or 2 disconnected ideas.

3. The student shows ideas but does so with disconnect.

4. The student’s ideas flow and are well-interconnected.

iii. Creativity (5 points)

1. The student plagiarized ideas from un-cited sources.

2. The student did not properly cite a source.

3. The student connected outside sources properly to the ideas expressed.

4. The student came up with original ideas based on the information.

Freshman Physics

We did a great activity on Tuesday involving dragging texts. This is what I want for Thursday:

1) Procedure (Whatchadid)

2) Observations (Whatchasaw)

3) Calculations (Whatchadid Wit Whatchasaw)

4) Conclusions (Whatchalearned From Whatchadid Wit Whatchasaw)

This should be typed and between 1-2 pages.

Enjoy the weekend!!!

Nerf Lab for the Freshman!!!

This is what I want you to write for your lab:

The Goals: You were trying to find out Muzzle Velocity and Force of Ejection. What are these?

1) What was your plan to figure out Muzzle Velocity and Force of Ejection? What was your procedure? Give me lots of details!!!

2) What did you find? Include your data!!! What was the Muzzle Velocity and the Force of Ejection? Which launcher was more powerful (i.e. the Force of Ejection was greater)? Which launcher has the greater Muzzle Velocity? If you only had time to test one launcher, give more details such as how the range is affected by the Muzzle Velocity.

This lab should be 2-3 pages (including your original data). Everyone should submit their own lab report! This is due on Monday!!!
