  1. Welcome ACP - KNIGHTS • Honors Physics Mrs. Lowe

  2. What is Physics?

  3. Physics is the science of matter, energy, space, and time. • It explains matter as combinations of particles which interact through the 4 major forces.

  4. Why are you here?

  5. So you can understand comics?

  6. So you can make lots of money? justification for higher education

  7. Because your parents said so?

  8. So you can graduate from high school?

  9. Or you happen to actually like physics – like me?! • Degree in Cell and Molecular Biology • Minor in Chemistry • Physics was part of my curriculum • I was paid to raise fruit flies for genetic research.

  10. My Family

  11. Sunrise Mountain H.S. ACP

  12. We are a team – please don’t be afraid to help me out – on occasion I do make mistakes. This is not about me – it’s about YOU. I graduated from High School, College, I’m here to help you. Please don’t be offended if I get your name wrong – I can’t remember my own kids names!

  13. Science Fairs • Students will participate in the Chandler District School Fair. • AND are strongly encouraged to participate in the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair.

  14. Topics of Study – Unit 1 Scientific Method • Metric • Significant Figures • Lab Format • Graphical Methods • Whiteboarding

  15. Topics of Study – Unit 2 Constant Velocity • Reference point • Position • Displacement • Velocity • Vectors

  16. Topics of Study – Unit 3 Constantly Accelerated Particle • Uniformly accelerating • Acceleration • Average vs. instantaneous • Free fall

  17. Topics of Study – Unit 4 Free Particle Constant Force Particle • Inertia • Newton’s 1st Law • Forces and Force Diagrams • Weight/Mass • Newton’s Law of Motion • Application of normal and friction forces

  18. Topics of Study – Unit 5 Vectors in 2D Particle Models Vectors Projectile Motion Other combinations of Particle Models Relative Motion

  19. Topics of Study – Unit 6 Energy • Forms of Energy • Work – Kinetic Energy Theorum • Power • Potential Energy • Conservation of Energy • Conservative and Non-conservative Forces

  20. Topics of Study - Unit 7 Impulsive Force • Linear Momentum • Impulse • Center of mass • Collisions in 1D and 2D • Conservation of Momentum

  21. Topics of Study – Unit 8 Central Force Particle • Kinematics and dynamics of uniform circular motion • Central Force Model

  22. Topics of Study – Unit 8 (cont.) Gravitation • Kinematics • Uniform circular motion • Kepler’s Laws of Motion • Newton’s Laws of Gravity

  23. Topics of Study – Unit 9 Charge Behavior and Interactions • Static Electricity • Coulomb’s Law • Electric Fields

  24. Topics of Study – Unit 10 Electric Potential • Energy in Fields • Potential • Equipotentials

  25. Topics of Study – Unit 11 Circuits • Potential and Charge Distribution • Electric Current • Circuit Components • Kirschhoff’s Rules

  26. Topics of Study – Unit 12 Magnetism • Magnetic Fields • Electric Currents • Ampere’s Law • Applications of Electricity and Magnetism (electromagnetism)

  27. Topics of Study – Unit 13 Light and Optics • Lights as Electromagnetic waves • Geometic Optics • Applications

  28. Whiteboarding • We conduct many “whiteboarding” sessions. • The main purpose is to discuss and share information – NOT to be correct.

  29. CHEER • C – Clarifying Questions • H – Helping Questions • E – Explanatory Questions • E – Expanding Questions • R – Reflecting Questions

  30. Required Materials • Keep ALL notes, homework, labs, review guides until the end of the year. • The semester exams are comprehensive.

  31. Grading • Tests & Quizzes 60% • Labs & Projects 40% • First Quarter = 40% • Second Quarter = 40% • Semester Exam = 20% Grades can be accessed online at any time

  32. Attendance • Your grade will reflect your attendance – especially in a laboratory class. • It is YOUR responsibility to get missed work.

  33. Need Help? ASK

  34. Cell Phones/Electronics • Not to be used during class • Use during an exam or lab will result in a zero • Only bottled water is permitted in class

  35. Consequences You ALWAYS have a choice – What you CAN’T do is choose your consequences

  36. Classroom Procedures Students have the right to learn and Teachers have the right to teach. Therefore, all rules will ensure that those rights are recognized.

  37. Signatures due FRIDAY

  38. Strive for the impossible and be extraordinary
