AP Physics-6th Period Assignments

Work out the last 2 FRQ on your own.

Work out FRQ on your own. Goal is to finish 2. 

Work out 2 more FRQ together

Work out a couple of FRQ together

Go over the test from yesterday. I want you guys to lead the discussion and help answer each other's questions. Use the white boards and smart boards, do whatever. I'll jump in if there's something that has thrown you all off both times, but I want you all to focus on what you DO know, not what you don't, and help each other galvanize that. Remember, you can miss like half of the multiple choice and still come out of it with a 4. 

This will be like Monday and Tuesday. At 12:50 you will get a multiple choice test, and I will take it up at the end. The difference is this one is only 40 questions and will only take the one day. This will allow us to talk it over again tomorrow. 

You'll get your tests back and have a general discussion about it. As a group we'll talk about strengths and how we can best lean into them, and weaknesses and how to best mitigate them. In other words, you're all in this together.

Finish the Multiple Choice test. We'll start it at 12:50 and I will take it up at 1:30 to finish up the 80 minutes. 

Time's about up. We covered momentum and angular momentum last year. I know that was a year ago and not at this level, but at this point we are better served taking a good look at the exam itself for these last couple of weeks rather than trying to cram in a couple of units in a week.

Today and tomorrow you will come in cold and take the multiple choice part of a recent years' actual AP Physics exam. You will not be graded on correctness, just effort and willingness to take it seriously.

The multiple choice portion is 40 questions and you will have 80 minutes. I'll go over a few things in the first 5 minutes, but at 12:50 they will be passed out and you will have the rest of the class to work on what you can however you want to go about it. Then I'll take it up and we will do the same thing tomorrow.

Bye. Don't come back (just kidding.....but seriously)

Non-conserved energy problems

Non-conserved energy problems

Non-conserved work problems

Quiz on Work

Wrap up angled work and go over the basics of power. Just enough to answer the homework and quiz question involving power. Use the rest of the time to check your homework (due tomorrow) and to sure up anything before the quiz.

Review what we have done with work and begin to work through problems where work is done along inclines and at angles.

There's going to be a lot of referring back to old equations in this since Work is the bridge between Energy and Kinematics. Bring your equation sheets (which you should be doing anyway)

Continue notes on work as energy

Notes on work as energy

Conservation of Energy Quiz

Continue to work through Chunky conservation of energy problems

Go through Chunky to review the conservation of energy we speed ran through last week

Have fun at prom!

Homework 1 due.

Quiz on energy.

If we don't get through everything we need to cover for the quiz by today, we will finish that up and you will your own personalized take home quiz to do over the weekend. Same problems but different numbers and what not. 

Go through Elastic Potential Energy.

Homework due tomorrow. If you have been working on it as we cover things you can ask questions about it.

Go through the various applications of conservation of energy in the packet. The goal is to get to Elastic Potential Energy by the end of class. 

Start Energy. You will get a new very chunky Chunky, but we're not going to do the entire thing. It's just easier to have you x out problems than to go through and manually delete things. 

Energy Homework 1 assigned and due Thursday.

I'm keeping this day open in case something comes up and throws us off this week. We have to get this lab and FRQ in because it is the end of the nine weeks. 

Graded FRQ on UCM

Talk about the results of the lab, and compare what we did to the FRQ questions from last week involving creating a lab for UCM. Review the FRQ questions from last week in general. 

UCM Lab. Come to class first, not straight to the lab. 

Go over the 4th FRQ in the packet

Most of you will be on an art field trip. Work on the 4th FRQ on your own. We will go over it tomorrow.

No Class - Playoff Football

Dynamics Review Quiz

Cover problems with multiple forces being applied at an angle. This is sort of new, but it's just an extension of last year that we didn't have time for, so it counts as review as far as I'm concerned. 

Go through the forces test you took last year

Begin a review of dynamics by looking at stuff we did last year

Dynamics Review HW Issued. Due Thursday, November 06 (This Thursday)

It's a very spooooo000000ky FRQ Test

Begin to review kinematics. You will have a unit test on Wednesday. It will be the first grade of the second nine weeks. The last grade you have for this 9 weeks is the progress check on AP Classroom.

Notes/Discussion on how to decipher the AP style questions and how to apply what you know to answer them. We will start with specific questions about anything you're having trouble with on the progress check, and move into more general things from there. 

Graded FRQs. They will be open note, and will not count as much as a test. But we're doing it on the science test day because I know they can be stressful.

Bring your chromebooks. Work on the progress check on AP Classroom in class. It is due Thursday at 11:59 pm.

Work on projectile motion FRQs as a class. This is not for a grade. You do a couple for a grade later this week, though.

Homecoming

Complete the projectile motion packet

Continue working tougher projectile motion problems.

Keep working through the examples

HW 1 is due TOMORROW

Keep working through examples

Work through examples in the projectile motion packet. Ideally, we will get through Example 6, which is enough for your homework.

Go over the FRQ questions, then begin notes on Projectile Motion.

You will get homework that will be due on Thursday. We will have covered everything on it by Wednesday at the latest.

Complete the FRQ questions on one-dimensional motion.

Get lab sheets with the data from Friday. Work on the lab report in class. Whatever isn't finished is homework. Due Tuesday, August 26 (tomorrow).

Lab on position vs. time graphs.

This lab is a little different as it requires us to head to the football field, not the lab. Come to the classroom first, though, for attendance.

We will do data collection in class. The rest of the lab can and will be completed on your own outside of class.

Begin notes on position vs. time graphs. The plan is to get through enough of it to be able to complete a lab writeup over the weekend. But if we don't get that far, you are still responsible for the lab. Begging you all to lock in for your own sake. 

HW 1 due today at the start of class.

Take Quiz 1.

The difference between a "quiz" and a "test" in this class is really the amount of material covered. Quizzes focus on specifics, whereas tests focus more on the big picture and worth more points. But both quizzes are intended to take the full class period.

We have a day to play with here assuming we have stayed on schedule. If so, then you can use today to work on your homework and to clear up any issues you may have with specific problems. If we are behind, then we will at the very least cover up until the graphs in the packet.

Remember, your homework is essentially your review sheet for the quiz Wednesday. If you lock in on Monday, you will have time in class to ask specific questions about it. But that is up to y'all.

Work out harder distance/displacement problems. This is the last page of the packet before graphs, but we need to be on point because these problems will take longer than the ones we've done up until this point.

After today we will have covered everything you need in order to complete all the questions on your homework, due Wednesday.

Notes on conversions with speed and velocity

Notes on scalars and vectors. Homework 1 assigned.

Quiz on rearranging equations

Go over the equation sheet and practice rearranging the equations on it

Complete a worksheet on rearranging equations to get a baseline of where we are at with that. It's a very important skill for this class that I need to know you can master before the class begins properly.
