Assignments for the week of November 26 - 30

Good Monday Morning!!!

Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. I know we are all recharged for the next 4 weeks before winter break, and we'll be moving right along!

For Physics:

Monday: Begin Chapter 7. We will cover 7.1 - 7.7 which deals with Linear Momentum. It is an interesting chapter, and not too long.

Tuesday and Wednesday: After doing 1 or 2 problems together as a group, you can work on the assigned problems from this chapter, due Thursday.

Thursday: Test over Chapter 7. This is quick, but the chapter is short, and we have to keep moving.

Friday: Lab.


For Calculus:

Monday: Regroup....with people having been out, we need to make sure we are all on the same page. Work sheet from last Wednesday will be discussed.

Tuesday: Quiz on the Chain Rule and other topics recently covered.

Wednesday: Begin 3.7 Implicit Differentiation.

Thursday: Work day

Friday: Begin 3.8

Have a great week. Work lots of problems......it's imperative.

Assignments for the week of November 19 -21

Good Monday Morning!

Welcome to Thanksgiving week!!! A short week, with our first pep rally after school today.

For Physics:

Monday/Tuesday: Wrap up a few Energy topics and Power. This will conclude Chapter 6. You have the problems that were assigned.

Wednesday: (shortened period) Quiz on above material. READ Chapter 7 - Momentum over the long weekend.


For Calculus:

Monday: Hand back quizzes from Friday and go over them. There are a few areas we need to discuss. Hand out a worksheet from an AP book to give us more practice on the chain rule.

Tuesday: Continue with review of Chain Rule, equations of tangent lines and motion of a particle.

Wednesday: (shortened period) Quiz on above material. Read over section 3.7 on the weekend. If you feel motivated, you can begin odd problems from that section.


Not a bad week.....most of these concepts in both classes should basically be review, but I want to know that you understand them, and wrap this up by the holiday.

Make it a productive 3 days!!!!

Assignments for the week of November 11 - 15

Good Monday Morning!


Last week things got a little hectic with meetings, schedule changes, illnesses and Kristallnacht Remembrance activities, so here is the plan to get back on track:

For Physics:

Monday and Tuesday: We'll work together (and on your own) to complete problems from Chapter 6 - Work and Energy.

Wednesday - No school; parent-teacher conferences

Thursday: Test (quite overdue) on Chapter 6 - Work and Energy

Friday: (Short period). We'll look at some videos concerning Work and Momentum (Chapter 7).


For Calculus:

Monday and Tuesday: We'll work together (and on your own) to complete problems from 3.5 and 3.6.

Wednesday - No school; parent-teacher conferences

Thursday: Quiz over sections 3.5 and 3.6

Friday: Begin problems from 3.7


We'll work hard this week; remember, you all have a "vacation" day this Wednesday, and then next week will be short due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Make the time we have here at school together count!!!

See you later.

Assignments for the week of November 5 - 9

Good Monday Morning!

For Physics:

We will begin the second quarter with Chapter 6 from our text - Work and Energy. We'll go over the test on satellites and gravitation on Monday, and begin discussing Chapter 6. Tuesday and Wednesday we will work problems (to be assigned) and Tuesday have a test over this material. We need to pick up the pace just a bit.... we should be completing one chapter per week or so.
Thursday and Friday of this week will be workdays for your assigned problems.

For Calculus:

We will begin the second quarter with section 3.5 from our book. This section deals with derivatives of trig functions. We will soon cover the Chain rule, implicit differentiation, and derivatives of inverse trig, exponential, and logarithmic functions . For all of the remaining sections in Chapter 3, all odd problems should be done unless otherwise stated.
Thursday and Friday of this week will be workdays -- 3.5 and 3.6 odds.

The first quarter grades were outstanding. The key to both of these classes is to work many problems. The more you do, the quicker you become and the more confidence you will gain. Please keep up this level (or even better) of motivation. Our goal should be success on the AP exams in the spring.

Have a great week.
