March 13 Message to Students in All of Mr. Warren's Physics Classes:
This message will talk about schoolwork in the next two weeks, but first:
Number One Priority until class meetings resume: Your safety and health and your family's safety and health and our responsibility to help avoid the spread of viruses to other people. First and foremost, take all necessary measures to safeguard those things without regard to completing schoolwork.
Second, assuming that the above is the case, you will be able to access the work of the physics course you are in via this Assignment Announcement Spot that I've been using for the whole school year. I will be uploading documents with what I hope is a user-friendly, simple, and manageable set of material for the two weeks between March 13 and March 27. The general topics will be:
Physics:
I'll post a test you can take by yourself on Chapter 7 and then a rubric so you can grade your own performance.
I'll post material related to the new topic of Charge and the Electric Force. You will want your textbook at home.
AP Physics 1:
I'll post a test you can take by yourself on Chapter 7 and then a rubric so you can grade your own performance.
I'll post material related to the new topic of Charge and the Electric Force. You will want your textbook at home.
AP Physics 2:
I'll post material for the Completion of Quantum Mechanics. It will include the topics of Blackbody Radiation, The Photoelectric Effect, E=mc2, photon momentum and particle collisions, and nucleus decay processes. You will want your textbook at home.
AP Physics C:
I'll post the rest of the E&M Workbook, all units. The plan will be that the only thing considered caught up in these two weeks will be good comprehension of Units IV and V. In a normal school year, it would be Unit IV done now (March 13), Unit V done by March 20, some assessment of Unit V around March 23 and get into magnetism Unit VI a bit before the normal spring break start, March 27. But for what we're doing now, it's totally reasonable to focus on Units IV and V in the time we're gone and be able to "catch up" in magnetism Unit VI right when we see each other again the week of April 6. Let's hope we have class meetings that week. Whatever happens, you are welcome to complete the entire workbook (all eight units) as early as you like, because I'll post all of it. You will want your textbook at home.
All students:
The easy way to reach me will be at
[email protected], and I will be checking email every day.
You may consider me officially available every day to answer questions in an interactive way from 10 AM to 12 Noon. If I ever change the two-hour window, I will announce it on the course Edlio sites. The contact can start by you sending me an email, and then there is a possibility we could shift to phone call to answer your question conveniently. You may contact me outside of the official hours of availability as well.
I'll be posting more specific assignments in the separate classes soon. Please let me know if anything above is unclear. I hope to see you all on April 6 and 7.
Stay well.
