AP Physics 12 - Students should be reading their text and completing the odd numbered problems in their textbook in preparation for the chapter 4 test on November 2. We will also learn about the DeBroglie wavelength in quantum physics.

Physics 12 - Students should be reading their text and completing the odd numbered problems in their textbook in preparation for the chapter 4 test on November 2. This week we begin chapter 5 Centripetal Force and Acceleration.

Physics 11 - This week we will get started with chapter 5 Dynamics, the study of forces. Reminder of the chapter 4 test re-write at the end of this week.

Science 10 - This week we finish chapter 2.3 Bioaccumulation. Students should be reading their text and making their own study notes and/or completing the review questions in their textbook or workbook. Reminder of the chapter 2 test on November 4. We will also get started with chapter 3 Ecosystems Change Continually Over Time. I hope to involve students in a collaborative project using Google Docs to compile our research. We need a chief editor, and lots of contributing writers to make this a success.
Math 8 - This week we will continue to use the Pythagorean Relationship to solve problems involving right triangles. Students should complete the odd numbered problems for their homework and they must show their workings as per the example problems. Those who need extra practice should also do the even numbered problems.
