No DutyPeriod 1: Prep.Periods 2 & 3: Physics 112: Bring students to the computer lab in room 276 (industrial). Inside my classroom clothet door is a bin of USB drives, bring these as student will need them (be sure all are returned or record name of student who borrowes one). If not working on their projects on the computer, students are to work through problems on page 19 and 20 of their problem set (Newton's 2nd Law). My YouTube channel contains further examples of problems. physics_112_problem_set.pdf; Physics 112 YouTube PlaylistPeriod 4: Math 9: Students are to finish calculations from their surface area assignment. Also, hand out the Unit 1 Review (on the long table by my desk) for students to start. Test is Monday, Nov 23. The files are here: unit_1_review.pdf; pythagorean_theorem_review.pdf; unit_1_review-surface_area_worked_answers.pdf.Period 5: Study Block with period 3 students.Period 6: CS 110 in room 108: Students are to continue working on assignments 10 & 11. cs110_assignments_8-11.pdf

We will be in the room 276 computer lab for each period this week. 1 - 2 days to complete the activity outlined below and the remaining time dedicated for your experiment analysis.Below are the files you will need to complete the assignment. Righ-click on each file and save it to your account. If you are working in a group of two (at most) then each person must track the video twice and enter their data in the WORD and EXCEL files.Instruction file: physics_112_tracker_assignment_2_procedure.pdfThe video file: ball_drop.movThe report WORD file: physics_112_acceleration_of_a_bouncing_ball_analysis.docxThe error analysis EXCEL file: physics_112_averages_and_error_analysis.xlsx

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 to abide by school policy of regarding the use of such devices. If you do not want to use your own device I will try to get a few netbooks for 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/ipad - $) 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.Graphing Calculator by Desmos (free): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/desmos-graphing-calculator/id653517540Th...

Use the "mod" function. Remember the "mod" function returns the remainder of a division. For example, 19 mod 3 evaluates to 1 (19 divided by 3 is 6 remainder 1). If a number is even it will have a remainder of 0 when divided by 2.Physics 112 Period 6Net force and friction problems: Page 15 of the problem set.physics112_net_force_calculations_april_16.pdfThe following examples will help: physics112_force_friction_worked_solutions.pdfThat file matches problems solved on my Physics 112 YouTube playlist.Forces test is scheduled for Firday, April 24 - students have the option to start the test early during study bock.Digital Resources for Spring 2015 Courses
