Week of March 2, 2020

This is a significantly shortened week due to the junior SAT and conferences.

This Week in AP Physics
On Monday we will complete our discussion of the electrostatics lab. A formal lab report will be due on Tuesday, March 10. (Be sure to use the lab report writing documents.) We will complete our introduction to electric potential and will begin capacitance. Expect a test during the week of March 9.

This Week in Physics
On Monday we will take a quiz over goal set 2. Please also take notes from momentum video 3 by the start of class on Monday. We will go through the impulse-momentum theorem and will begin assignment 3. Expect a test during the week of March 9. All resources may be found on our unit 5 webpage.

Week of February 24, 2020

This Week in AP Physics
We will complete most of the remainder of our unit on electrostatics this week by covering electric fields, electric potential energy, electric potential, and capacitors. Yes! There will be notes. Yes! There will be tremendously great problems. Yes! There will be homework (yay!), and YES! There will be one of my favorite labs of the year! Woo hoo! Expect the unit test the week of March 2. (Yes! March!)

This Week in Physics
On Monday we will begin assignment 2 from our momentum unit and will then do goal set 2 and quiz 2 when announced. By the date announced in class please take notes on video 3, which will be followed by an assignment and a lab. Plan on a unit test the week of March 2 (March! So soon!) All resources can be found on our momentum unit webpage.

Week of February 17, 2020

This Week in AP Physics
We will continue to work through unit 10 on electrostatics with remaining notes, homework, problem sets, and a lab. Please complete homework 1 for Wednesday. Expect the unit test next week. Unit 9 test corrections are due on Thursday of this week.

This Week in Physics
Due to scheduling conferences, please do NOT take notes on video 2 for Tuesday. You will do this in class. On Tuesday we will complete goal set 1 in class, go over it, and take the goal set 1 quiz on Wednesday or as announced. As the week progresses we will examine lab data to analyze the role of kinetic energy in a variety of collisions and will complete assignment 2 from goal set 2. All resources can be found on our momentum unit webpage.

Week of February 10, 2020

Happy Valentine’s Day week!

This Week in AP Physics
On Monday we’ll take a test over our thermal physics unit and then will begin our exploration of electrostatics. (Shocking!) We’ll take notes, do tremendously great problems, a smidge of homework, and a lab, natch!

This Week in Physics
We’ll begin the week by doing assignment 1 from our momentum unit on Monday, so please bring your books to class. When announced we’ll take a quiz over goal set 1. By the date announced in class please take notes over video two from the momentum unit. We’ll also most likely get to a conservation of linear momentum lab this week. All resources may be found at the unit five webpage.
