HW Wednesday, 10-30

E period only (everyone else tomorrow)

• Read 4.1-4.4

Projectile Test Moved

Through a series of events (meetings, impending Halloween parades, etc) outside of my control, the projectile test originally planned for this Friday will be pushed back.  Here is the new plan:

• Monday, 10-28, Jeopardy, all periods
• Tuesday, 10-29,  Test B & E periods
• Wednesday, 10-30,  Test A period

HW Wednesday, 10-16

All periods

• Remember - horizontal motion is completely independent of vertical motion.  Something can be falling and moving sideways at the same time
• Vertical velocity changes (Vx)
• Horizontal velocity is constant (Vy)
• Time depends on height
• Check out this example problem - http://youtu.be/hO_SBQY6fJg
• Then try Ch 3 Think 'n' Solves 41-46 (pg 42) - you can check your answers on Its Learning

HW Tuesday, 10-15

A & B periods

• Remember - horizontal motion is completely independent of vertical motion.  Something can be falling and moving sideways at the same time
• Check out this example problem - http://youtu.be/hO_SBQY6fJg
• Then try Ch 3 Think 'n' Solves 41-46 (pg 42) - you can check your answers on Its Learning

E period

• Plug 'n' Chugs 19-26

HW Thursday, 10-10

All periods

• Chapter 3 Plug 'n' Chugs 19-26 (if you didn't finish in class)

Additional Test Problems

Linear motion test grades were posted on the portal Sunday night.  Now is the time to reflect, celebrate successes, and course-correct where necessary.  In the spirit or course-correction and improvement, students have the opportunity to improve their test grades.  

Additional problems were provided (tomorrow for A period) which provide the opportunity to earn 1/2 the points back that were lost.  For example,

• 50% could potentially become a   75%
• 60% could potentially become an 80%
• 70% could potentially become an 85%
• 80% could potentially become a   90%, and so on...

The first two short answer questions offer 1/2 the points back on the multiple choice section, and the rest of the problems offer points back on the open response problems.  They will be graded and points will be awarded proportionally.  All problems must be completed for credit, even if you got it right on the test.  This cannot lower the grade in any way, and is optional.

Additional problems are due THURSDAY, 10-10 by the end of the day.

Congrats!  Done with your first physics test!  I'll start grading while you do one last brain dump.
