*** You can also receive course updates via Twitter . Follow my awesomeness @mrpmacdonald *** Physical Science 10Questions from Chapter 23-2.Started our unit on circuits, Chapter 23-3.  This is a big unit filled with three lab exercises and mathematical worksheets.Introduction to Current Electricity. Topics covered are voltage, current, and resistance.Notes discussed in class: current_electricity_chapter_23-2.pdfPhysics 112Tracker motion analysis software training.  Monday we used the program together, today you are to try it on your own (videos used are below or see me for a copy - right click and select "save target as").Wednesday we will resume the topic of vectors so remember your protractors and rulers.cart_collision_same_mass.movcart_collision_mass_difference.movPhysics 122Forces in 2D (physics122_forces2d_notes_march_11.pdf).  Those notes contained the worked solutions to your assigned problems.Important! There are example videos under the Physics 122 playlist on Peter MacDonald - YouTube

Physical Science 10**Important Note** Student are now allowed to use a personal device to view/read course content.  These devices can be their phone (iPhone, Blackberry, Samsung, etc), tablet (iPad, iPod, Acer, Hipstreet, etc) , or laptop.  If bringing any of these to school please guard them carefully and remember it is against the district computer policy to connect any of these devices to the school computer network.  If you do not want to use your own device there are still netbooks in the classroom.iOS/Apple Products:  To save and view a course document you must have an app installed capable of opening .pdf file.  The iTunes store is filled with free and cheap options; a few are (some have different versions depending on your device):  GoodReader (iphone - $) https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/goodreader-for-iphone/id306277111?mt=8iB... https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8Adobe Reader: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8 (iphone/ipad - free). View this website on your device and click the file you want to save.  After it opens you should see an option to open it within a specified app.  Once opened with the app it is saved.  Repeat those steps for all the files you want.  I would allot 500 Mb for the files we would have this semester.Android Products:  You can save a file at any time to your device, but you require an app to view that file.  To save the file follow the steps listed above once you open this websit on your device.  Go to the app store on your device and download the free Adobe Reader app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader&feature=s...).  There may be many others but this app worked well for me (I've only had an Android device for a day).Static Electricity: Transfer of Charge.physical_science_10_static_electricity_ch_23-1.pdfIntroduction to Science and Static Electricity Test scheduled for Monday, Feb. 25.Practice your skills at: http://braingenie.ck12.orgPhysics 112Graphical analysis of motion: Position - Time graphs.  The practice worksheet is the last page of the notes (below).physics_112_position-time_graphs_feb_19.pdfMotion test scheduled for next Tuesday, Feb. 26.Physics 122Application of Vectors:  Continue working through page 8 and 9 of the physics_122_problem_set_2012-13.pdfapplications_of_vectors_example_feb_19_2013.pdfapplications_of_vectors_notes_feb_15_2013.pdfapplications_of_vectors_example_feb_15_2013.pdfPhysical Science 10 Digital DownloadsCourse Outline: physical_science_10_macdonald_course_outline.pdfeTextbook: jmh_physical_science_10_etextbook.pdfphysical_science_concepts.pdfPhysics 112 & 122 Digital Downloadsphysics_112_course_outline.pdfPhysics 112 Problem_Set_v2.pdfphysics_122_course_outline.pdfphysics_122_problem_set_2012-13.pdfTotal Physics.pdfjmh_physics_handbook_v2.pdfPhysics Study Guides.pdfphysical_science_concepts.pdf
