Week of September 2, 2019

This Week in AP Physics
We will complete our
Acceleration due to Gravity experiment. A formal lab report is due by Friday, September 6. For this report, you will need to refer to the Lab Report Writing Guide and the Lab Report Rubric. This week we will also work through unit two, which covers two-dimensional motion with a focus on projectiles. Expect a unit test next week (the week of September 9.)

This Week in Physics
We will complete our
Analysis of Uniform Motion on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Due on Tuesday are notes from the second video from unit 1.We will go over this video, do some sims in class, and then team up to do practice problems in class from our Unit 1 Assignment Fun! On that day, which will be late in the week, you’ll need to bring your textbook to class.

Week of August 26, 2019

Please be sure to sign up for your class Remind. Join codes are in the previous blog post on the home page of our class website, sgbscience.com.

This Week in AP Physics
We will continue to work with the material you learned during the summer work by completing an experiment on Monday. Please complete the workbook up through page 22 by Tuesday. By the start of class on Wednesday please complete the unit 1 assignment online on AP Classroom. (The join code is in last week’s assignment blog on the home page of our website.) As the week progresses we will complete a second experiment on one-dimensional kinematics (unit 1) and will take the unit 1 “test.”

This Week in Physics
For Monday please take notes on the first lecture video (Video 1: Introduction to Displacement and Velocity) from the
unit 1 web page. We will go over these notes in class in an abbreviated way, focusing on extending and answering questions rather than re-doing the entire lecture. In other words, if you don’t take the notes from the video by the start of class Monday, you will be lost and confused, but if you do take them, you will get your questions answered and will have opportunities to deepen your understanding. Pro tip: Do not try to take notes on all of the unit 1 videos. We’re only covering the first video this week. As the week progresses we will tackle some practice problems and will begin our first experiment.

Welcome to the start of a great new school year! This is your main resource page for our class, and you should check it at minimum once every weekend.

This Week in AP Physics
1. Please go to our
course introduction page and be sure to read the course policies and procedures document. (Be sure you are on the AP Physics page and not the physics page.) The final page of the policies document with signatures is due on Friday.
2. Go to
collegeboard.org/joinapclass and join our AP 1 and our AP 2 courses. We’ll be doing assignments online through these portals. To join the AP 1 course, use this code: 2WJ2XK, and to join the AP 2 course, use this code: K6DMJA.
