Goodbye

Thanks for another great year, physics students! I hope you have a great summer and that those of you graduating succeed in whatever path you choose.

As most of you know, I will not be back next year. If you need anything (like recommendation letters) you can email me at miss.volkening@gmail.com.

Finals

Your final is a take home final. Please pick one up in class.

More Work Time/AP Literature

A lot of you are taking the AP Literature test this morning and I am proctoring it, so there will be a sub today. Class will be a continuation of your last class. Please remember to count your bellwork stamps and make a notecard for your test tomorrow if you haven't yet.

Study Guide

Today and Thursday are work days to complete your work and study guide.  We also counted stamps.  Abridged answers to the study guide are below.

More Compound Circuit Practice

Today is our last bellwork and last worksheet together! I have video of the bellwork from last year. Homework is Electricity VII, due tomorrow, and the extra credit ranking tasks (due whenever).

Tomorrow I will pass out the study guide for your last unit test (which is Friday).

Compound Circuits Practice

Today on bellwork we learned a trick to solve a compound circuit when there is a junction where the current does NOT split evenly. This is kind of hard to explain in a picture, so I have a video from last year that uses the same trick to solve problem #2 on your homework, which is Electricity VI.

Here's the finished bellwork too:

Solving Compound Circuits

Today we finished or notes about solving compound circuits. I go through all of the procedure in a video from last year. Your homework tonight is Concept - Development 35-2.
