April 2, 2012 (week 28)

AP Physics 12 - This week we will finish chapter 19 Electric Potential and Electric Potential Energy. Our next topic is chapter 20 DC Circuits.

Physics 12 - This week we will continue to work on chapter 19 Electric Potential and Electric Potential Energy. Stick with it guys, this is an abstract topic that many students find challenging.

Physics 11 - Reminder of the chapter 14/17 Test on April 3. This week we begin chapter 18 Optics. We will learn how light behaves as it reflects from curved mirrors and passes through curved lenses.
