Florida Fieldtrip 2011 - Grade 9, 10, and 11 students are invited to participate in the 2011 Florida Fieldtrip which will take place May 11-18, 2011. We will visit various theme parks in the Orlando Florida area and participate in backstage tours and educational programs that will demonstrate science in action and science related careers. Please see me in room A213 right away to pick up an Application Form. There will be an Informational meeting on Wednesday, September 15 at lunch time in room A213.

AP Physics 12 - This week we'll review kinematics graphs and wrap up chapter 2. Students should complete all of the odd numbered Review Problems on pages 49-52. We will also get started with projectile motion (kinematics in 2 dimensions).

Physics 12 - same as above

Physics 11 - This week we will focus on graphical representations of motion. Students should be working on all of the practice problems in chapter 3.

Science 10 - We have started with chapter 1.1 Biomes. This week we will study climatographs that depict the typical temperatures and precipitation of each terrestrial biome. Reminder to bring $8 to purchase your own workbook (highly recommended learning resource).

Math 8 - We have started with chapter 1 Graphs, and this week we will focus on how data can be misrepresented on graphs. Students are expected to attempt (and hopefully complete) all of the practice questions in chapter 1.
