This Week in Physics
If you have not yet done so please be sure to take notes on  PODCAST 4: Newton’s Laws of Motion – First Law (Inertia) by Monday. Also for Monday only 3rd period and 8/9 period will take a quiz over elastic force (goal set 3). (The other classes have already taken the quiz.) We will do assignment 4 in class on Monday and Tuesday and will take a quiz over inertia and static equilibrium (goal set 4) as announced. When announced please take notes on PODCAST 5: Newton’s Laws of Motion – Second Law. We will work through many relevant practice problems and will complete assignment 5. Next week expect to do the final podcast and assignment from unit 3, perform an informal experiment regarding Newton’s second law, and take the unit 3 test.

LAB REPORTS: 1st period’s are due Tuesday, 11th period’s are due Wednesday, and 3rd and 8th/9th periods’ are due on Thursday. One hard copy is due per writing team at the start of the class period on the due date.The documents you will need are: Friction Lab, Lab Report Writing Guide, and Lab Report Rubric. Be sure to share your document with me at [email protected] and upload ONE copy of your document to TurnItIn.com by Thursday at 3:00.
