Write it on one side of index card. Include name and period on other side. • Cinquain: • Title 2 syllables • Describe title 4 syllables • State an action 6 syllables • Express a feeling 8 syllables • Another word for title 2 syllables Haiku: • 5 syllables • 7 syllables • 5 syllables
Welcome to Physics! calculator contract: complete both sides. Your calculator number is your seat number. You will use this all year! Take this card home and have your folks sign it. Return it by Wednesday. safety review: This should be completed by Wed Sept 3. You may use the class copy of safety rules and begin working on this while waiting for class to start.

Check it out, have your folks check it out, then parents need to sign course procedures receipt (on back of calculator contract). Bring this back by Wednesday. What about books?
Expectations • Tardies • Door closes at bell. You will need to go to Tardy Station • Digital Toys • They are to be off and put away unless we are using them. • Classroom decorum • Politeness • Preparedness • Honesty • See and Do!!!! • Don’t sharpen pencils when I am speaking • Put stuff away (chairs, lab supplies, trash) • This is not a restaurant. NO FOOD or DRINKS • Don’t lose your papers: one copy only • Stay seated until I dismiss you • Pet Peeve
When you have been absent……. • I expect you to check my web page and see what you have missed.
Just so you know…… I am not your mother. I am not your maid. I am not your secretary. Be responsible for you.
This is what I will do for you…. • Awesome lectures • Relevant labs • Assign homework!!!!!!!! This is so you can practice your new found skills ☺ • Website support • Tutoring, Make Ups, Retakes: Monday-Thursday after school (I leave the building at 3:30) Never Friday after School Mornings by appointment.
Finally • Test days are Tuesday or Thursday • I do not offer individualized extra credit. Don’t ask. Ever.
safety • Show video • AGHS Lab Safety Rap - YouTube • Safety Review-Due Wed 9/3 BOC • Safety Contract-On WebSite-Must sign on line • Fire Drills and phone policy
8/26 • Work on Safety Review and Math Review • Turn in contracts to blue sorter (file under first letter of your last name) • Change problem 1 and 2 on Math Review to: • 1) 18/2x3 = • 2) 2(14-32) =
How many feet: Presentation Create a report and present it to the class when called upon. I will ask you 3 questions. What was your method for getting the measurement? This will include a diagram. How did you maximize the precision? What is the usefulness of your measurement for someone going to the hardware store to buy a rope the same length as the distance across the room?
Accuracy and Precision • The Goal • Measure the width of the hall as precisely as you can using “feet” as your units of measurement. • Resources • Strip of adding machine tape • Your foot
What is the difference between accuracy and precision? • Accuracy is the real deal; the truth; the accepted value • Precision has two meanings: • How repeatable the measurements are (range) • How small the interval of measurement is • In the foot lab, what aspect of precision was being investigated? • What do you think the goal is in science regarding accuracy and precision?
8/27 Have Math WS out Turn in any forms to front desk
Order of Operations When there is more than one operation involved in a mathematical problem, it must be solved by using the correct order of operations . Remember, calculators will perform operations in the order which you enter them, therefore, you will need to enter the operations in the correct order for the calculator to give you the right answer.

Why Scientific Notation? • It makes it easier to work with very large and very small numbers.
Given the following: 2.00 x 104 • The first part is called the coefficient (the 2.00). • The second is called the base (x 10) and exponent (4). • Proper scientific notation requires the coefficient to be between 1 and 9. The base is always x10. If the exponent is positive, the number is greater than 1 and the decimal is moved to the right as many times as the exponent to convert to standard form. • If the exponent is negative, the number is less than 1 and the decimal is moved to the left as many times as the exponent to convert to standard form. • Use the EE key – not the carot!
