Physics 112 (Periods 1 & 6)Finished the first forces unit and had a test.  You should have your results Monday.Today through next Wednesday we will have time for finishing labs.  These will be the last designated lab days for the semester.  Students can still complete labs at lunch or during study block if need be.Due to the lost time from storms the lab mark for the course will be 50 and not 65.  Students can still get bonus for completeing extra labs.Math 9 (Period 3)Scaling diagrams and scale factor.Text Pag 329 # 5 - 12 Physics 122 (Period 4)Conservation of momentum in 2D: physics122_cons_mom-2d_apr25.pdfProblem set page 24 #37For all of the important course documents go here: January 29/2014 - Semester 2 Begins!

Physics 112Lab week:  Students have 7 labs available to them for the semester.  Labs vary in difficulty and time committment so they have different mark values.  For this semester the lab mark will be out of 65 total marks.  Completion of extra labs will earn students bonus marks that can be used towards semester assessments.Labs were outlined in class and found in the lab manual (click on the link at the bottom of the note).Some labs need Excel files for analysis and are found by clicking the link at the botom of the note.I plan on averaging 1 lab period per week over the remainder of the semester.  Additional time can be arranged at student request.Math 9Chapter 4 Linear Relations test is this Friday, Feb. 28.Chapter 4.5: math9_inter_extrapolation.pdfChapter 4.5 Practice:  Pg. 196 #s 4, 5, 9, 10, 12.Chapter 4.4: math9_linear_equations_matching.pdfChapter 4.4 practice questions are listed on the last page in the above notes.Assignment: math_9_horiz_and_vert_line_graphing_assignment.pdfMath Art BONUS Project: math_art_project.pdf (Due Friday, March 14).  Earn up to 20 course marks.  Quality projects handed in by March 11 will be submitted for a CUTE award.Chapter 4 Review: Pg. 201 #s 1acdf, 2be, 4ace, 5, 11, 13.Physics 122Applications of Vectors.  Test scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27.Example problems on YouTube and solutions to practice problems are available in the classroom.Notes: physics_122_application_of_vectors_notes.pdfExamples: physics_122_application_of_vectors_examples.pdfProblem Set: Pg 9 #s 1 - 21 (4, 12, 14, 16, 20 on YouTube).YouTube: Physics 122 YouTube PlaylistFor all of the important course documents go here: January 29/2014 - Semester 2 Begins!
