Seating chart
Introductions and ice-breaker

Homework--TO DO CHECKLIST
Please complete the items on the checklist by no later than NEXT Wednesday's class period (9/11)​
More detailed information regarding the tasks on the list can be found on the "Important Digital Information" page
Thursday, Sept. 5
Learner Profile refresher discussion/activity
Review of topics from last year

HW: Due next Wednesday
In a Word document, respond to the following:

–Of the 10 Learner Traits on the IB Learner Profile, which two do you feel are your strongest?  How are you going to use that strength to benefit your class? 
–Which one do you feel is your weakest?  How could you try to improve yourself in that area?

When you are done with your document (about 2 thorough paragraphs, about 1 – 1.5 pages), please upload the document to the assignment posted in your turnitin account.  This should be uploaded no later than Wednesday before school starts.
Friday
Sept. 6
Warm-up was related to this video. If you were absent Friday, get the question from your neighbor (or from the beginning of the powerpoint on Rotational mechanics) and watch at least a few minutes of the video to answer the questions.
​
Demos: Intro to Rotational Mechanics
Keep the demo sheet in your binder (lab section). If you missed a demo, let me know on Monday :)
Monday, Sept. 9
We get our textbook today!  You'll primarily be leaving it at home and using it as a reading reference throughout the year.  You will also be given access to a digital version.
