Mon 1/4 : 1. Review Homework Problems : Dynamics – Will go over problems with students and work through problem areas
2. Introduce Lab : Newton’s 2nd Law – Video Analysis Lab – Setup Lab and discuss objectives. Allow students to form groups and begin discussing strategies.

Tues 1/5 : Lab – Newton’s 2nd Law – Video Analysis Lab – Students will work within groups to complete procedures and collect data based on Lab procedures. Students will do video capture for data collection and use programs on software of IPADS to analyze the data into graphs.

Wed 1/6 : Lab – Newton’s 2nd Law – Video Analysis Lab – Students will use videos, screen captures, and analysis graphs to complete and turn in a Lab Report in a Google Doc, and turn it in on Google Classroom

Thurs 1/7 : Lab – Coefficient of Friction on an incline : Students will watch a 12 min video on coefficient of friction and apply that to the lab as they work together in Lab groups. Objective : To calculate the coefficient of Static Friction on an incline with different surfaces.

Fri 1/8 : Lab – Coefficient of Friction on an incline : Continue lab and complete analysis and conclusion portion of lab report.

Mon 12/7 – Lab : Newton’s 2nd Law. How does Force and Mass affect acceleration

Tues 12/8 – Continue Newton’s 2nd law Lab : How does force and mass affect acceleration.

Wed 12/9 – Fri 12/11 : Odysseyware assignment

We are a little behind, so I have updated the lesson plans to the following :

Mon 9/21 – OdysseyWare Assignment (Measurements Unit )

Tues 9/22 – OdysseyWare Assignment ( Measurements Unit ) Due Wed 9/23

Wed 9/23 – Project – Egg Drop ( Discuss and Setup ) Due Wed 9/30

Thurs 9/24 – Message Board Assignment ( Why is Physics important – Jobs requiring physics )

Fri 9/25 – Egg Drop Project Work

This Physics course is primarily taken by juniors and seniors with a basic understanding of algebra and geometry. A true mastery of the concepts of physics can be gained only through practice; therefore, students will find conceptual questions along with mathematical problems assigned throughout the lessons. Because laboratory activities are essential to any science course, students are required to complete hands on experiments. Overall, the course’s main goal is to provide the students with an appreciation of physics in the real world and to develop further their overall reasoning and problem solving skills.
