This Week in Physics
Be sure to read the assignments for your class period.

First period: On Monday goal set 2 is due (except for the level 4 problem.) On Monday and Tuesday we will finish looking at upwardly-launched projectiles and will do the Human Cannonball Projectiles Lab. (This lab will require a formal lab report, which we’ll discuss in class. This report won’t be due until next week.) On Wednesday you will take your unit 2 test over your unit 2 learning goals. For Thursday please take notes on unit 3’s PODCAST 1: Net External Force, Weight, and Normal Force.
Third period: On Monday assignment 3 is due. On Monday and Tuesday we will analyze upwardly-launched projectiles and satellites. On Tuesday goal set 2 is due (except for the level 4 problem.) On Wednesday we will
do the Human Cannonball Projectiles Lab. (This lab will require a formal lab report, which we’ll discuss in class. This report won’t be due until next week.) On Thursday you will take your unit 2 test over your unit 2 learning goals. For Friday please take notes on unit 3’s PODCAST 1: Net External Force, Weight, and Normal Force.
Eighth period: On Monday goal set 2 is due (except for the level 4 problem.) We will go over this and will then analyze upwardly-launched projectiles. On Tuesday we will do the Human Cannonball Projectiles Lab. (This lab will require a formal lab report, which we’ll discuss in class. This report won’t be due until next week.) On Wednesday you will take your unit 2 test over your unit 2 learning goals. For Thursday please take notes on unit 3’s PODCAST 1: Net External Force, Weight, and Normal Force.
Eleventh period: On Monday we will do the Human Cannonball Projectiles Lab. (This lab will require a formal lab report, which we’ll discuss in class. This report won’t be due until next week.) On Tuesday goal set 2 is due (except for the level 4 problem,) and we will finish looking at upwardly-launched projectiles. On Wednesday you will take your unit 2 test over your unit 2 learning goals.
