Midterm Exam information

The Physics Midterm exam will be on the following topics:

Math review, units, unit conversions

Packet 1 - One dimensional motion
Packet 2 - Vectors, Projectile motion and 2D Motion
Packet 3 - Forces and Newton's Laws
Packet 4 - Momentum
Packet 5 - Work, Power, Energy
Packet 6 - Circular Motion (which we are doing starting 1/3/2012)

Remember to review the packets and homework, your class notes, and the past quizzes.

Here is an excellent site that you can also use for review:

Remember the class notes are posted here:

You should start reviewing now so that you have time to ask questions and absorb the material again.

IMPORTANT - You need to have your own calculator. A scientific calculator is all that you need. They only cost between $8 and $15. Target and Walmart have the best prices. I will not be providing calculators after midterms.

IMPORTANT - tell your parents that the progress reports are almost 3 weeks out of date and that they should check PowerSchool for an updated grade.
