Week of April 2, 2012

This week in physics class…
We will spend class time practicing drawing them and calculating and calculating electric fields and do a lab and homework 3. Depending on timing, we may or may not have a quiz on electric fields. See Unit 7 – Electrostatics Main Page for documents and podcasts.

This week in Conceptual Physics class…
We will continue to look at methods of charging and do a number of activities to charge conductors and insulators using a variety of methods. We will take a quiz over this topic and then begin to discuss electric force conceptually. Non-math portions of podcasts 1-3 are relevant for this week.

There is no school on Friday nor next week. Don’t worry, though! We’ll be back on April 16! 🙂

Week of March 26, 2012

This week in physics class…
We will finish examining induction and polarization and take a quiz over homework one. We will discuss podcast 3 (due Monday) and work on Coulomb’s Law practice problems and homework 2 followed by a quiz. We will watch podcast 4 and 5 on electric fields and spend class time practicing drawing them and calculating them, culminating in homework 3, a quiz, and a lab. See Unit 7 – Electrostatics Main Page for documents and podcasts.

This week in Conceptual Physics class…
We will look at methods of charging and do a number of activities to charge conductors and insulators using a variety of methods. We will do homework 1 and a quiz.

Physics Assignments Week of March 19, 2012

WELCOME TO THE NEW WEB PAGE! This is the inaugural post for this new site, which I hope you will find much more user friendly than our old site. Please feel free to send me feedback on it!

This week we will cover the nature of charge, conductors, insulators, methods of charging, and Coulomb’s Law. We will do homework 1 and homework 2 and do quizzes on each of those. We may begin electric fields by the end of the week.
