October 1, 2007 (week 5)

AP Physics 12 - We have begun chapter 4 Dynamics, the study of forces. Recall Newton's 3 laws of motion that we studied back in physics 11. We will also continue to work concurrently with chapter 14 Gas Laws. Students should be working on the textbook review problems at the end of each chapter, minimum of 25 problems to be completed in each chapter. Reminder of the chapter 3 test on October 5.

Physics 12 - We have begun chapter 4 Dynamics, the study of forces. Much of this should look familiar from Physics 11 (Newton's 3 laws of motion). Reminder of the chapter 3 test on October 5. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems by the test date.

Physics 11 - We have begun chapter 4 on accelerated motion. Students should work on the practice problems in chapter 4 and also try the Review problems at end of chapter. Minimum of 25 problems are due as the chapter assignment.

Science 8 - Reminder of the chapter 10 test on October 1. Students must have all of their workbook completed (chapter 10) and it is due the start of class on October 1. We have begun to explore possible topics for Science Fair and students should have chosen a topic and partner by middle of October. We will also begin to read and study chapter 11 on the worlds Oceans.
