Physics 9-15-15 Acceleration Review, Pt. 1

PHYSICS: I’ll confess, I’ve had students cry in class on occasion – but NEVER because I moved a test to another day! Test is now going to be on Thursday 🙂

Here’s some conceptual thoughts about acceleration – and a look at the balcony, rocket, and hiker problems. (Also the answers to the problems on the #1 – 15 homework.

We’ll look at some others again tomorrow – BUT you try them again tonight first. Apply these concepts and I’ll bet you’ll be able to figure them out!!

Hon Chemistry 9-15-15 Fundamental Science Skills Graphing Activity

Welcome to Graphing 101 – or what I like to call, “A Quick Review of Everything You Learned About Graphing in the 8th Grade.” Here is your assignment for Friday.

IMPORTANT: Today’s assignment is one that you will have to complete at school. The program is on the school laptops and on the computers in the computer lab.

  1. Find the “Fundamental Science Skills” program on your computer.
  2. In the Graphing Skills section, click on “Graphing Data Points.” Read through and practice in each section VERY CAREFULLY!
  3. After you have completed each review section, go to the exam and complete it.
    • You must enter your name in the exact format you do when you title a lab – including the title of the activity.
    • Click on “Check Your Answers.” When you have 100% accuracy, bring your lap top to me to check your Check Answers Results Sheet. If you are doing the assignment outside of our class period, print off your exam results sheet and bring it to me to check.
    • IMPORTANT: Your answers and the format of it all must match exactly to receive credit. (Sometimes being exactly correct is extremely important!)
  4. The Graphing Data Points assignment is due Thursday, by 3:30 P.M.
  5. Next, go to the Ring Challenge and complete it. Bring the completed sheet to me to check off. Check the syllabus for the due date!

Holler if you have any questions!
