PHYSICS

The chapter we are currently working on is Chapter One.  Here is the outline for the material we will cover:

• Identify the system of measurement used in science
   
• Differentiate between FUNDAMENTAL and DERIVED units
   
• Be able to express numbers in SCIENTIFIC NOTATION and perform math operations using those numbers
   
• Know the metric prefixes of centi-, milli-, kilo-, mega-, and micro- and be able to perform conversions
   
• Distinguish between PRECISION and ACCURACY
   
• Explain what PARALLAX is and how it effects measurement errors
   
• Know how to find RELATIVE (PERCENT) ERROR
   
• Be able to identify the number of SIGNIFICANT DIGITS in a measurement and perform math operations using them, expressing your answer with the proper number of significant digits
   
• Be able to draw a graph properly
   
• Identify the DEPENDENT and INDEPENDENT variables on a graph
   
• State the relationship between variable based on the shape of the graph and their positions in an equation

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

• Read chapter two.
• These are the homework assignments for the entire chapter.  (PP) stands for practice problems, (RC) reviewing concepts, (AC) applying concepts and (P) problems.  If you are out, have a classroom buddy who will tell you what you missed or check your notes to see what you are missing and then check these assignments.
• WS 1 #1,2,3  p.7(PP)# 5,6  p.24 #33,34,36  p.26 #67ACDE       WS 1 #4,   p.8 (PP)# 9-12,  p.24 #38,40,69,70

• Lab report due dates vary from class to class.  Check the classroom board for the dates that apply to your section.  If you are absent, check with me as soon as you return and we will schedule a time for you to make up the lab and then turn in the report.

Please check the classroom board daily to determine which assignment pertains to a particular day.  Since the pace of the class is decided daily based on the classes' understanding of the material, sometimes the class notes for a particular homework assignment are not gotten to. Therefore, the homework must be amended.

QUIZ AND TEST ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Physics One and Two will have a test on chapter one on Tuesday, Sept. 28th.

The dates here may be amended due to unforeseen circumstances, so please check the classroom board daily for the most accurate information.
