PHYSICS – Great job today with our SI system review! You remembered a lot! Were you surprised at yourself?
The hardest part, I think, will be getting back in the habit of showing all your work, using conversion factors, units, dimensional analysis, sig figs, etc. We’ll finish reviewing measurements and the like tomorrow.
HON CHEMISTRY: Happy Monday! Today we explored getting organized in chemistry. The assignment for today is the Getting Organized Assignment that you will find under the Worksheet/Handouts tab. It’s due Tuesday, by class time.
We also talked today about web posts. For more info, scroll down to the post I’ve written for you on Web Post Comments & Ideas
And last, today we also talked about doing a final check of your Google Drive. Have you double checked your Google Drive to make sure all the assignments you have there are correct?
Here’s a quick list of things to double check. You have until class time on Tuesday to make any corrections. Holler if you have questions.
1) Is is a PDF? Check to make sure it has the PDF symbol. Remember that when you download a doc as a PDF, you have to go back in and upload the new PDF to your Google Drive. It does not do that step automatically.
2) Does it have the correct title? After the class period and your name, make sure you have the correct title of the assignment.
3) Does it meet the requirements of the assignment? For example, does it have all the parts that it is supposed to have?

How are you doing with finding things and knowing what’s due when? Let me know if I can help!
PHYSICS: I love listening to you “talk through” the scientific method! Can’t wait to see what you design for your whirly gigs! Now what could you do to get the longest hang time? Hmmmmm…..
Whirly Gig template is under the Worksheet tab, if you need it. Happy flying!
What a great first day! You’re off to a great start on a truly tremendous adventure. I’m so glad you’re in my class and that I’ll be able to share this adventure with you! Here is your assignment for tomorrow and for the next few days.
