AP Physics 12 - This week we will finish up chapter 3 projectile motion. Students must complete a minimum of 50 problems in preparation for the Chapter 2/3 test on October 5. We will continue our studies in Quantum Physics which is the physics of the atom and it's energy levels.

Physics 11 - This week we will continue to study motion graphs. Students should complete all of the practice problems in chapter 3 in preparation for the chapter 3 test on October 8.

Here is a checklist of things students need to do in preparation for the test.

• Look over all the example problems in this chapter
• Finish the sample test questions from testbank
• Complete most of the Practice problems in this chapter
• Try some of the end of chapter Review Problems
  Must submit a minimum of 25 problems from the textbook, chosen from Practice and/or Review problems. These are due at start of class on the test date.
• Attend the peer-tutoring in room E202 on Collabortion days starting in October.
• All answers to textbook problems are on Mr. Fuerderer's Homework Site.
  

Science 10 - Students must choose their ecology project topic this week. We will try to finish with chapter 1 this week and students must complete all of workbook chapter 1 in preparation for the chapter 1 test on October 14.

Math 9 - This week we will continue our studies in chapter 1 and learn about the exponent rules and solving problems that involve exponents. Students must complete all of the practice problems in each section of chapter 1.

Orlando Fieldtrip - Reminder to submit your application form along with the $500 deposit to Mr. Fuerderer in room A213 as soon as possible.

AP Physics 12 - We have started to study projectile motion in 2 dimensions, chapter 3. Students should read their textbook and look over the example problems in chapter 3. We have also started Quantum physics which is the study of the atom and atomic energy levels.

Physics 11 - This week we will complete chapter 3 and spend more time looking at motion graphs. Students should complete all of the practice problems in chapter 3. They should also look at the end of chapter Review Problems for extra practice.

Science 10 - This week students will choose the topic for their Ecology Project. We will continue to learn about biomes, ecosystems and habitats in chapter 1. We will spend much time this week examining climatographs.

Math 9 - This week we will continue with sections 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5. Students must complete the practice problems in each section. Students are required to show their workings and many are finding it difficult. It is not sufficient to plug numbers into your calculator and write down the final answer. You must show some of the intermediate steps...the workings that led you to your answer.

September 14, 2009 (week 2)

AP Physics 12 - We will complete our review of chapter 2 Kinematics in 1-dimension, and get started on chapter 3 Kinematics in 2-dimensions (projectile motion). Students should complete the odd numbered practice problems at the end of chapter in addition to old exam questions.

Physics 11 - This week we will learn how to depict motion on graphs (displacement, velocity, and acceleration graphs). Students should complete all of the practice problems in chapter 3 as well as the end of chapter 3 Review Problems.

Science 10 - We are starting Chapter 1 Ecosystems. Reminder that students can purchase the optional workbooks for $8 and they are meant to be highlighted and written in...highly recommended.

Math 9 - We have begun chapter 1 Numbers and are starting to work with squares and square roots. Students should attempt all of the practice problems in each section of chapter 1.
