September 21, 2009 (week 3)

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.
