January Assignments--IB Physics 1
2019-2020 school year


Monday, Jan. 6
Review of forces and Newton's Laws, friction in general
​Begin discussion of friction more specifically

Tuesday, Jan. 7
Pivot Interactives activity:  Friction: sliding on an inclined plane
All work and data is collected online. If you have not yet registered for our class on Pivot, please find the code HERE for your class period. When you are done and have access to a printer, please print off a final copy of your answers and insert them into your binder's lab section. Have your answers ready for discussion on Friday when you get to class.

Wednesday,
Jan. 8
No Classes for IB Physics 1 on Wednesday

Thursday, Jan. 9

Work periods: Pivot lab and WebAssign
Pivot lab due tomorrow
WebAssign (Friction and Newton's Laws) Due Tuesday

All A.S. from section 2.2 should be done by next Tuesday as well

Friday, Jan. 10
Post-lab discussion
Work on Newton's Laws project--planning today, construct poster on Monday

HW: don't forget--WebAssign due Tuesday; Assessment Statements for 2.2 should be completed by Tuesday, too.
HW:  do what you need to do to be ready to put your poster together on Monday :) 

Friendly reminder: Retakes and Make ups must be taken before Finals week (in the case of inclement weather that results in late starts or snow days...I'll find other days).  Your options are the following:
Tuesday, 1/14/2020 Flextime
Wednesday, 1/15/2020 before school (9:15 or later, depending on the length of your quiz...plan accordingly)--meet in 1111
Thursday, 1/16/2020 after school--talk to me, as this would be done in a different location with a different teacher and space is limited
Friday, 1/17/2020 after school, room 1111

That's it. Quiz scores will be entered by Monday night at the latest so you know if there are any you'd like to retake.
