Get ready for Friday's test!

TEST FRIDAY!

The linear motion test (chapter 2) will be Friday for all periods (DEF).

Resources - Need some help?  Check out the resources on Its Learning.  Just go to the Jasinski dashboard and click RESOURCES.

• tutorials from physicsclassroom.com, 
• relevant videos I've pulled together on a YouTube playlist, and 
• Extra problems w/answers if you want more practice.

Tool Box - you are allowed one note card with only formulas and variables on it.  Click here to see what can be in your toolbox.

Reflections

Friday is the last day you can turn in a quiz reflection.  Take advantage of this opportunity!

Extra Help

I'm available most days after school.  Several students are staying after on Thursday for help; join the party.  I can write passes to practices if that's an issue.

HW Tuesday, 12-11

A period

• Read 6.5-6.7
• Review Questions 9-18

D, E, & G periods

• Read 6.1-6.4
• Review Questions 1-8

All periods

• We'll continue to work on the Practice Problems in class.
• Expect a newton's 3rd law HW quiz when your class finishes the review questions.
• VOCAB QUIZ for chapters 4, 5, and 6 on Friday for all periods.  We've been using these terms the whole unit, but make sure you brush up on those bold words in the chapter.
• TEST is coming up on Tuesday for A & G periods, and Wednesday for D & E periods next week.  Check out the calendar.

Resources for Test Prep!

Tomorrow's test will go on quarter 1 and provide 100 opportunities to demonstrate your understanding of momentum, impulse, and projectiles (in the form of points).  I just wanted to call your attention to some of the resources available on Its Learning as you prepare.

• Textbook Sections - since we bounced around two chapters, this page in Its Learning lists each section and each question we covered.  The short and sweet version: 
• Momentum & Impulse, sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3
• Projectile Motion, sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6
• Class Notes - any problems that I've put on the board using the projector (usually after school help sessions)
• Problem Solving
• Momentum & Impulse - Calculator Pad: Problems 1-11
  The rest deal with conservation of momentum which we will talk about next semester.
• Projectile Motion
• Calculator Pad: Problems 21-27 (don't do any part c)
• Think 'n' Solve Solution Videos
• Concept Questions
• Momentum & Impulse
• Review Session:  Questions 1-13.The rest talk about the conservation of momentum which we will cover next semester.
• Minds on Physics Quizzes:  For Practice Mode --> Mechanics --> Momentum & Collisions
• MC1: Momentum
• MC2: Impulse and Momentum Change
• MC3: Impulse-Momentum Change Variables
• MC4: Force, Impulse, and Momentum Change
• Projectile Motion
• Review Session: questions 5-9:  We have not done any vector, displacement, or resultant velocity problems yet.
• Minds on Physics quizzes:  For practice mode --> Mechanics --> Vectors & Projectiles
• VP7 - The Nature of a Projectile
• VP8 - The Acceleration and Velocity of a Projectile

Think about how you prepared for the last test and what you want to do differently for this one.  Practice how you're going to perform, so find ways to test yourself.  Don't forget to make a tool box!

PhysicsClassroom.com

The test for linear motion (chapter 2) is coming up next Wednesday.  We've covered all the material, and you have completed all the work we're going to do for it.  Now it is a matter of building confidence.

PhysicsClassroom.com has several features that will allow to continue to practice and become more confident in your ability.  Feel free to poke around the site.  The topic you want is 1-Dimensional Kinematics (just a fancier way of saying Linear Motion).  A few highlights:

• Tutorials
• The Calculator Pad: overview and practice problems with solutions 
• The Review Session:  multiple choice problems
• Want more of a challenge?  Try the Minds On Physics (MOP) mastery quizzes.  You'll need Adobe Shockwave.  It tests your understanding of the material.  Read the questions carefully;  you have to get 80% or better to pass.
• Select Mechanics
• Select either Kinematics Concepts or Graphing
