120days & 1 month for review
Less is more
Kinematics in 9 days
Set a year long schedule and stick by it. Move on, even if there's still confusion
testing has to be scheduled / month ~ Ap test 1-5
daily, publish the week before .... plan on a weekly basis
Tuesday and Friday due dates
use all of the available times, especially in active activities, minimize your alking at the board time.
make all test authentic
unse quizzes to your advantage
assign a grade #
work that students do on their own, but no busywork
corrections on test ~ 1/2 credit
Test Scoring ~ Raw Score relative to AP score & Gradebook grade
| Raw Score | AP Score | Gradebook Grade |
| 100 - 70% | 5 | 4 |
| 69 - 55% | 4 | 3 |
| 40 - 54% | 3 | 2 |
| 30 - 39% | 2 | 1 |
| 0 - 29% | 1 | 0 |
First day of class
information to memorize ~ Forces
Equilibrium
HOW
Cart on track with 2 spring scales on one side 2 on other (contact & name the objects)
figure out what did the 3rd read
Physics works
Hippo = edna = .62 kg
What does the scale read?
Edna in equilibrium .... objects exert forces earth on edna
fact and connection = justification
3 min quiz as enter room, timer on board
Day 2 ~ Quiz & collect homework
Force table with two pulleys
move at constant rate/ speed ... stays in middle
hang smething from pole -- tension up vs. weight
pulley with 100 g off vs. wiegh in middle and reading on scale at angle
FBD, the wking diagream, then right triangle, then angle, then mystery mass
Instead of the photographs that go under the document cam, I use an app, droidcam, to use my cellphone as a wifi camera.
cart pulling with amount at constant rate
fbd, who on who, equation,
justification of same coeff of friction,
double speed, what happens, coeff same
