AP Physics 12 - this week we will study forces acting concurrently to produce an equilibrium of forces that act upon an object. We will also learn about the buoyant force that fluids exert on submerged objects.

Physics 12 - We will study forces that act simultaneously upon an object to produce equilibrium.

Physics 11 - We have started chapter 5 Dynamics: the study of Forces. We will be using the new Gore workbook to learn about Newton's 3 laws of motion.

Science 10 - this week we will learn about how atoms can bond together to form compounds. Students should be completing workbook chapter 4 at their own pace.
