Water Waves and Practice

Today we talked a bit about water waves, but that won't be on the test so we don't have any official notes. We also went over a couple of problems on Concept-Development 25-1, which you received on Friday. This is due tomorrow.

Welcome Back!

Ah, another year at Desert View High School. If you are a new student in my class, this is the place to get somewhat regular updates on assignments, notes, and happenings in Conceptual Physics for the 2010-2011 school year. You can also find notes from previous years, which may be helpful.

On this first day we passed out the syllabus, safety contract, and student/parent/guardian contract. Please return the two contracts, signed, as soon as possible. They are worth points!
