Pre-AP Physics-Period 5 Assignments

Complete the planning sheet. You may work in groups for this portion of the project. Make sure all team members names are included on your document. For question 5 use a separate piece of paper and turn it in on Friday. Once you complete the planning sheet, make sure the background research questions are completed. Work on missing work from last week.

Today we will begin working on our final project. The project will have three parts. We will begin the first part today. I've attached a worksheet which must be completed prior to moving on to the next phase.


I've also attached the project rubric for your reference.

This week we will learn about Quantum Theory. The video will give a brief introduction about quantum physics. Watch the video and write at least 5 sentences about what you learned. Attach a google doc.

Link below.  First click on skyscraper basics and read the material.  Then try the simulation.  You may work in a SMALL group.

Please watch the short video and then color the paper handout provided in class.  These describe hydrostatic pressure that we are discussing with our topic of dams.  Please put at least TWO (2) notes from the video on your handout.  Put your NAME on it. Turn it in for a grade.  A pdf copy of the sheet from class is provided below for those at home.  Thanks!!

Fifth Six Weeks Exam in Eduphoria

Please choose any topic from the year, or any vocabulary word.  You may use Google Classroom to scroll through to help choose a topic.  Please make one slide that is visual with pictures that captures the feeling or meaning of that word.  Please put the word as the topic on the slide.  There shouldn't be bullets or words on the slide other than the topic!  These are for the slide show on Friday for the CTE fair for the 8th graders.

This review must be completed by the end of the day Tuesday, April 13.  


I WILL NOT TAKE LATE SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS DAILY GRADE OR LATE/MISSING WORK UNLESS YOU MISSED SCHOOL WITH A VALID DOCTORS EXCUSE OR APPROVED SCHOOL EVENT WITHIN THE WEEK.  
The Six Weeks Exam is on Wednesday.

Instead of a quiz this week, we will do this assignment as a daily grade.

These were completed in class. There are 4 slides. Two are blank for you to fill in and the second two are the answer key to guide you in filling out your own. These are an excellent study guide for the quiz that will be on Friday

Quiz Friday - Practice!

How do you think advancement in science will change life in the future?

Please write your thoughts and ideas and submit. Thanks y'all!

Please check your grades! If you have missing assignments, today is the day to get them done. Grades Close on Friday! Many people are missing the assignment from Thursday, Feb 11 and the TikTok from Friday Feb 12.

Dont forget:
1 liter of water / 1000 grams
0.433 psi / ft

Please use any of the resources in the Google Classroom or online to answer these questions. You may also use the text books on the shelf. It will be in chapters 9 & 10.

Please choose any vocabulary word or concept from this chapter and make a TikTok about it. Please choose your music, theme, script, or actions to represent the concept or vocabulary word. If you need inspiration, look up at the dry erase board of vocabulary in the classroom, or in Google classroom, there are ample items to explore including slides, short videos, and other content. When you are finished, please save your video and upload it here. You may also send me a link instead of uploading it. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THESE!!

You will need a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bathtub, or a large bowl (any of these work - you just need something to hold water for your boat.). You need a piece of aluminum foil and some pennies. Very simple lab!

Dont worry that it counts your name wrong for one point!

Please use the link at the top of the sheet to watch the video. Answer the questions in the sheet from the video.

Wednesday: Period 1,3,5,7
Thursday: Period 4,6,8,9
Go in Eduphoria and complete your exam according to the schedule above for each period.
NO NOTES. DO NOT OPEN ANOTHER BROWSER TAB.

Please review and complete these. They will be your study guide. They will count as daily grades and I will post answers on Friday so you can check your answers. I will two or three questions for this six weeks as well.

For all classes that have review material posted. BE SURE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT CONTENT AND WORKING THROUGH THOSE OLD EXAMS AS STUDY GUIDES!

This is roll call and required for attendance. If you don't respond, you will be counted absent.

1. A spring has an extension of 20 cm. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the spring (The spring constant, k = 100 N/m).
2. A spring with a constant of 80 N/m is extended by 1.5 m. How much energy is stored in the spring.
3. Explain how shock absorbers work on a car and draw a diagram.

A cannon ball weighing 25 kg is shot from a cannon at 50 meters per second. What is the Kinetic Energy of the cannon ball? Please use the equation for Kinetic Energy. Kinetic Energy is equal to one half times the mass times the velocity squared. The attachment below has the equation on it and explains each part of the equation.

A man is holding a baseball off of a balcony at a high rise hotel. The balcony is 200 meters from the ground. The ball weighs 5 kilograms. Please use the equation for Potential Energy which is Potential Energy equals mass times gravity times height, or simply put, PE=mgh. (Solution will be posted tomorrow.)

Give these a try!

Diego and Lola are studying across the table from each other. Lola slides a 2.2 kg book across the table to Diego. If the net force acting on the book is 1.6 N, then what is the book's acceleration? (Hint: Use Newton's Second Law of motion.)

A soccer ball is kicked with a force of 13.5 N. It accelerates to the right at 6.5 meters per second squared to the right. What is the mass of the ball? (Hint: Use Newton's Second Law of Motion)

Please use the link then press "Launch Interactive." Then click the "Start" button in the box that says Free Body Diagrams. There are 12 scenarios to solve. When a scenario is correct, it will give you a gold star and allow you to move on to the next scenario. If this is hard, read the two handouts again from yesterday and re-watch the 6 minute video from Flipping Physics that I posted. These can be confusing at first, but you will pick up on them after a few! Read the handouts and watch the video first! When you are done, please let me know what you learned through a comment or an email. This is for a daily grade.

You may use the instructional notes that I provided as help for this quiz.

A special note to let you know...we miss you all very much!

Your Quiz for today will be posted at the start of your class period. Enrichment does not have a quiz, but all other classes have a quiz today.

Please complete this quiz without notes. You may use a calculator. YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK. Please take a photo of your work with a phone and email it to me or share it with me. Thank you!

Don't worry if you have trouble with the last one, we will look at it on Tuesday together, but please try it out!

You must mark so you are not counted absent.

Please do this study guide. The answers will be posted later today. Study this for the comprehensive exam on Wednesday.

Principles of Technology - Please understand the concepts presented and be able to explain them in simple terms.
AP Physics - Please understand the concepts and follow the math solutions as well.

Please watch and understand the concepts, follow the mathematics to the best of your ability.

Quiz is open notes. Do your best. You will get the opportunity to make corrections.

Let's give this a try! I hope it works, but if it doesn't, we will at least learn something for the next time. Let's try for a 20 minute meeting. Log in at 11:45 am on Friday! Fingers crossed, it will work.

I know this video is kind of dry, but the concepts are very important. They are also hard to understand for many people. Please try to watch and follow the graphic concepts to understand how the position, velocity, and acceleration graphs relate to each other. Watch it twice if it's hard to understand.

Flipping Physics!

Please watch and understand the concept of Acceleration.

Please watch this video and there is a problem to try at the end. Position vs. Time graphs are very confusing, so it's OK to feel confused by them! It just takes some practice! Concentrate and stay with it...you'll get it!

Please answer this question or you will be counted absent.

Please complete and return these two problems as a quiz grade. You may do it on paper and take a picture on your phone and email it, or use any method you wish to send it to me. There are two problems. Scroll down for number 2 on the page.

Give them a try! Use your helpful equations sheet. The more of them that you try, the easier it gets! Solutions will come soon.

Please give these a try on a piece of paper. It is OK if you have trouble with some of them. I would like to see an attempt on these. When you are done, you can take a photo of your paper and email it to me, or send it to me by text. Please include your name! You may also post it to me through Google classroom. I'm most interested in seeing your attempt and effort. Please write down the given information first. Then try to set it up and solve. Watch the short equation video I posted for help.

Difference between Displacement and Distance

Please watch. Use the sheet posted to follow along, or just draw it in your notebook. Pause the video when needed to work on your graph.

Please complete this quiz and submit. Open notes quiz.

Please watch this video on dimensional analysis. Please watch it carefully. This will be important this year as we solve problems. It will be important that the units make sense for what we are solving. It will be important to be able to convert units in our problems. This video is very simple, but in complicated problems with longer equations, this basic skill will become important.

Please watch this and catch up with anything this week you haven't watched!

For Remote Learners
