PRESENTATION ORDER: Please take another look at the Presentation order. It might change one more time. before the final draft, my biggest suggestion is that you do not rely on being on the last day.
Here is a whole bunch of fun stuff: Turn it in login: Class ID: 12782705 Class Password: haber The astronomy Project description is below:
Bellow you will find the presentation order and groups.
Please come to class tomorrow with evidence of your research.
I have created a Turn It In class for us and a rough draft assignment for you to upload your research so far. I am looking for work that you have done ahead of time, before working with your partners. This is my way of doing a quick check in so that I know if I have to get on your case about staying on task and a way for you to be confident about coming to the table with your partners prepared to collaborate. |

This first document describes the AP Physics course as a whole. Exam information begins on page 147. There are several example problems and their solutions starting on page 155.
http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap-physics-1-2-course-and-exam-description.pdf The following is a workbook. You have seen A LOT of the problems in it al ready. I suggest going directly to the sections with which you know you need more practice. https://d3jc3ahdjad7x7.cloudfront.net/NHH72iY7wWqpDOMml50GsaWfwB511hyNjKcJEKViVl6YNdTZ.pdf And my notes from Friday:

AP Free Response Questions
|
I'm sorry I did not get these onto my website, fortunately they were up on Steinkamp's page.
I am planning on going over the first three problems when I see you tomorrow, Tuesday. Please come with questions. Complete the first three free response questions of the 2015 test (attached). A completed problem is one where: you spend a reasonable amount of time working individually without notes to complete the problem, and then you use your resources (notes, textbook, past problems, videos online, peers) to get further and check your thinking. The keys to these problems exist online, and can be easily found.

Homework:
|
Paragraph Problem
|
Tonight I would like you to continue your work on the paragraph problem from class today:
1) Have a complete answer to the problem. If you were not able to come to a solid resolution with your group today, go through your notes and develop a solution to the problem. I expect you to have specific questions when you return to class tomorrow. 2) Write a mini-rubric for this problem in your notes. You can base it on your reasoning and the conversation you had with your group members today in class. Think about which statements are point earning. Assign all 7 points, one for the correct answer and the rest to individual concepts or statements of relationships. I expect you to have thought through this and to come to class with answers. We will go over it all together tomorrow.

On Graphing
|
Hello there my super awesome break bound students. Mr. Steinkamp wrote a super awesome description of how to look LoggerPro in the eye and firmly command it to do you bidding. Please take a look at it as a start to your super awesome analysis of your "Finding I" data:
"I wrote up a super sweet explanation for how to generally bend logger pro to your will and get it to tell you the thing you are trying to find. There also is an explanation of how this shows up in your lab's hypothesis section. 'Wait but this is kinda long...' Yeah, it's complicated and I'm explaining instead of just saying "do x", you butt! 'Hey, don't call me a butt' Well don't be one." and without further ado:
P.S. Maybe the April Fools joke is that it isn't an April Fools joke?
P.P.S. Have an awesome and relaxing break! |

For the lab on Monday you will be investigating how the mass of the apparatus affects the acceleration of the cart or how the force applied to the cart affects the acceleration of the cart. Your assignment for the weekend is to write two questions, identify the variables and outline two procedures (to be discussed upon our return to class on monday):
One procedure must allow you to change the force acting on a cart and measure the acceleration while keeping total mass constant The second procedure must allow you to change the total mass of the system and measure the acceleration while keeping the force acting on the cart constant.
|
To turn in tomorrow with the quiz
|
The worksheets and the answer keys are on earlier posts. There are two keys to the salmon colored worksheet because we wanted to provide more detail on the answers to the third page problems.
Please check your work as you go to see if you have questions. Tomorrow, before the test, I will collect the following: Purple - Video analysis Orange - Problems Crime Scene paper and your work Salmon problem set Be sure to show your work, It will be good for you to use a separate sheet of paper. |
