  1. Welcome to PhysicsMs. Carole Rawding See it, hear it, do it, say it, learn it Did I say DO IT? Physics is Everywhere!

  2. My Job • Keep it real • Keep it engaging • Build upon prior knowledge • Help each student to be successful

  3. How to achieve SUCCESS! • Have a positive attitude, strive to do your best and stay engaged in the physics work. • Come to class prepared with the homework completed and all of the necessary materials ready. • Keep your binder updated; neat and organized with course handouts, homeworks, returned quests and labs in chronological order

  4. More keys to success….. • Study physics nightly through reading, problem solving or laboratory analysis. • Seek help as needed for concepts that are troubling you.

  5. Getting Started • Arrive each day with • Assignments completed • Three ring binder • Composition notebook • Scientific calculator • Dry erase marker • Pencils and ruler

  6. Notebook • Chronological Order • Mathematical model reference sheet • All course material attached within • Assignments labeled, dated and numbered • Collected and graded periodically

  7. Extra Help • SEEK HELP EARLY if you are troubled by a concept • My daily schedule is posted on the classroom door. • Common Lunch Physics Tutorial is held everyday! Tutorial schedule is posted. • Contact me via email to schedule extra help before school

  8. Handouts • Pick up daily handouts upon entering the room. These papers will be available by the door. • Missed a day, check the files by the door for extra copies of the work distributed.

  9. Homework Happens • Yes, almost every night. • Complete your assignments on time. • Keep all assignments in binder. • Stamped regularly. • Homework counts for 10 points per week, resulting in homework grade equivalent to one test • Collected often. • HOMEWORK PASSES

  10. Labs are Essential • Performed each week and sometimes more • Write-ups are turned in following completion • Come to Common Lunch tutorial to complete or make-up labs

  11. Projects • We will research, brainstorm, troubleshoot, use trial and error, team work and more to complete major projects. Possible projects include: • Potential Energy Mobile • Conqueror of the Hill • Egg Drop Competition • Torque Mobile • Six Flags Amusement Park Physics

  12. All physics work will be graded on a total point system. The approximate value of each category of work is: Quests and Projects 50% ( 70 – 100 points each) Lab work 30% (15 – 35 points each) Homework and Classwork 20% (10 points per week) + Morsels Marking Period Grades

  13. Your Average • Keep a running total of the number of points you have achieved and divide this by the number of possible points and you know where you stand. • REMINDER: do not forget that any missing assignment puts 0 points in the achieved column

  14. What’s Exciting in MHS Physics? • NEW class set of laptops for PHYSICS courtesy of MEF! • High Speed Cameras for slow motion videos courtesy of MEF! • Interfacing hardware for lab stations and internet access purchased by MEF! • Student response system courtesy of MEF! • SMARTBOARD system courtesy of MEF! • Lab equipment and interactive software for mechanics and electromagnetism courtesy of a generous Madison family donation!

  15. Science Beyond the Classroom • Join our teams! • Science League • State Science Day • New Jersey Physics Olympics • Conqueror of the Hill • Robotics • Project Aware

  16. Ask Questions Seek Answers Engage… Think Physics… You’ll have a great year!
