October 14, 2008 (week 7)

AP Physics 12 - We have just about completed chapter 4 Dynamics. This week we will do a lab involving an Atwood Pulley. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 4 test, date TBA. We will also return to chapter 15 Thermodynamics and solve some problems related to the 1st Law of Thermodynamics.

Physics 12 - We are nearly finished studying chapter 4 Dynamics. This week we will do a lab involving an Atwood Pulley. Students must complete a minimum of 25 problems in preparation for the chapter 4 test, date TBA.

Physics 11 - This week we will perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity (g) on earth. We will also have a few work periods to write some practice tests related to accelerated motion. Reminder that students must complete all of the practice problems in chapter 4 in preparation for the chapter 4 test on October 22.

Science 8 - Students must complete all of workbook chapter 7 in preparation for the chapter 7 test on October 15. Those students who have not purchased a workbook must complete the "Check Your Understanding" questions at the end of section 7.1 and 7.2, plus the Chapter Review questions at the end of chapter 7. Remember that homework is worth 40% of the overall mark and tests are worth 60%.
