October Assignments--IB Physics 2
2019-20 School Year


Tuesday, Oct. 1
No Classes on Tuesdays for IB Physics 2

Wednesday,
Oct. 2


Notes/demos/discussion:  Angular momentum and the conservation of angular momentum
Sample problems

Thursday, Oct. 3

Video demos: angular momentum
Packet handed out--work time given to begin working on the questions--packet due next Friday (10/11...yes, same as the lab, sorry)
(some things in the packet haven't been discussed in class yet--you won't be able to answer everything)

Friday, Oct. 4
No quiz today
Assessment statements B.1.5 - B.1.12 checked today 
Discuss examples of graphs we may see with rotational motion
Work time for Mobile (due next Thursday) or Packet (due Friday)​

Monday, Oct. 7
Notes/Demos/Discussion:  Rotational Kinetic Energy

Tuesday, Oct. 8
No Classes on Tuesdays for IB Physics 2

Wednesday
Oct. 9
Practice problems: rotational kinetic energy, work, and power
have as much of the rotations IB Question packet done by today as you can!
WA: Rotational Energy, work and power (and momentum) due next Tuesday.
​Reminder: Unit test on Tuesday


Thursday, Oct. 10
Mobiles due today! Hang them in class
Review for rotations test with remaining time

Friday, Oct. 11
Lab due! Submit to turnitin.com AND bring in a hard copy with your checklist attached
A.S. B.1.13-B.1.18 due today

Quiz: Rotational momentum and energy


​Study for Tuesday's test

​Please don't forget about the WebAssign that is due on Tuesday!

Tuesday, Oct. 15
*Regular 7-period schedule!
Test: Rotational Mechanics (topic B.1)
​

Wednesday, Oct. 16
PSAT testing day--special schedule (testing, then flex time starting at 2:55)

Thursday, Oct. 17
Intro to waves and wave behavior--intro lab: Building a mathematical model for Simple Harmonic Motion

Friday, Oct. 18
continue to work on the lab data collection and analysis

Monday, Oct. 21
Finish SHM lab


Tuesday, Oct. 22
​No Classes on Tuesdays for IB Physics 2

Wednesday, Oct. 23
Post-lab discussion of observations
notes on conditions for simple harmonic motion (SHM)

Thursday, Oct. 24
Notes and examples: equations of motion for SHM

Friday, Oct. 25
Quiz: SHM fundamentals--vocab, general concept, and recognizing variables in the equations of motion

post-quiz: continuation of notes; quantitative examples of SHM and using the equations of motion to determine speeds, accelerations, etc.

Monday, Oct. 28
​notes/discussion: SHM kinematics (and possibly energy, if time)
​practice problems with SHM kinematics and dynamics

Tuesday, Oct. 29
No Classes on Tuesdays for IB Physics 2

Wednesday, Oct. 30
2-part lab: Inertial Mass and Pendulum behavior--graphs and short summary of results for each part will be due by Friday, Nov. 8, Formal conclusion/Evaluation--due Tuesday, 11/12. Complete graphs for each part; complete a formal conclusion for one of them (your choice).


Thursday, Oct. 31
Finish notes on Energy within SHM systems
post-lab discussion
Handout with SHM practice problems (due next Wednesday--day of your mid-term) (also--4th period didn't get these yet...I forgot. you'll get them tomorrow)
HW: A.S. 4.1.1 - 4.1.4 due tomorrow...don't forget :) 
​
With time remaining, work on your graphs/analysis for each lab part and start a conclusion for one of the parts. If you aren't using your time for the lab, I'm expecting you to use your time for WebAssign or Assessment Statement assignments that are due soon.

Friday, Nov. 1
Work time on lab or WA, study for Mid-term (remember, that's on Wed. 11/6), work on worksheet...
