SparkNotes for Physics

SparkNotes is a great site for students to use. It is like CliffNotes, but most of it is free.

This is the page that has Physics information and study guides on it. It's a good resource to use when you need help with a physics topic.

Homework

Both Period 1 and Period 2:

Homework - Forces Packet (4) - do problems 12-21 (finish the packet).

We will go over the homework next class and then start the Forces Labs.

Period 1 Physics Update

Reminder for Period 1, homework due Friday, 11/13 - Forces Packet, #7-11

Schedule Update

We went over the Projectile Motion review problems today. Tomorrow we will continue on with the Forces lecture. If you are absent on Tuesday, make sure you check with a classmate or look here to see what you missed.

Remember that the slides for the Forces lecture are available HERE.

IMPORTANT INFO ON HOMEWORK!

I think there may have been some information missing from number 4 on the homework. I don't have it home with me, so I can't double check. If you can't solve #4, don't panic.

Schedule Update

Today, we went over the Projectile Motion quizzes and then both classes were assigned a Projectile Motion worksheet as review. Worksheet is due on Monday and then we will go over it.

We will then continue on with Forces.

You can download a copy of the Projectile Motion worksheet (Physics - wksht - projectile motion.doc) HERE.

Update

Today, Monday November 2nd, we went over the first part of the Forces lesson.

Homework assignment for both classes is Packet #3 (Forces), Problems 1-6, due next class.

You can find the homework packet in class if you were absent, or download it from the class website HERE. The slides are also available there.
