January Assignments--IB Physics 1


Wednesday
Jan. 2
​​Notes/Discussion--Friction

Thursday, Jan. 3
1.  Practice Problems involving friction and the coefficient of friction
2.  Computer simulation
​     Open this Word Document
     Follow instructions in the document to find the proper online simulation

Complete all answers directly in the Word document, save and/or email it to yourself so you can print it out when you are done.  This is the only time in class we will be working on it directly, but it isn't due to be fully completed until Monday at the beginning of the period.  If you don't finish in class today, finish it at home.  Either way, you will be printing it out on your own time, either at the library or at home.

Friday, Jan. 4
Notes and practice problems:  Friction and the coefficient of friction (we got through the first 3 today)


Monday, Jan. 7
More practice problems on friction (continuing the ppt from last Friday)
​​​Concept questions--ranking task exercises

Tuesday, Jan. 8
Notes/demos/discussion:  Newton's 3rd law of Motion
​Notes/demos:  momentum

Wednesday,
Jan. 9
