AP Physics 2: Sunday April 30, 3 PM but come anytime.

 

Unfortunately, the 2004 sample test file (attached) doesn't open right for most students, but for a few it does, so I included it. What happens is that the diagrams appear as black boxes.

 

Review Session, Sunday April 30, 11 AM for AP Physics 1 but come anytime.

Review Session, Sunday April 30, 3 PM for AP Physics 2 but come anytime.

 

You don't have to do every single practice test I've been pointing to in the last couple weeks. It's quality over quantity. Bring conceptual questions based on anything good you've tried.

 

Do Problems 5 through 7 as if they were an exam. Give yourself one hour. It's late start tomorrow. Do it then. Come to my room at 7:55 if you want to use it at 8.

 

Score it after. Class now should be structured by your questions on these things.

 

Mock Test, measure, review topics, get rid of weakness, Mock test again

Let's do a quality handful every day. Let's do it whether I prompt the problems or not. I showed you how to get to the problem sites. You should already be using the site for mock testing.

 

But here's more good stuff WITH my prompting: Do This 2002 Mock Free Response Test as if it were a real test. ONLY do problems 3 through 7. Write the solutions on BLANK SOLVING PAPER with good notation as if someone were grading it with a rubric. Give yourself exactly 60 minutes on it.

 

Then rubric-grade how you did using the Scoring Guidelines.

Then be ready to ask me concept review questions based on this, and be prepared to do so as way of getting things started whether it is Period 1 or during some afternoon or weekend review session. I'll be on campus to do such things as much as you desire. Just dig in and solve and use such efforts to add to your list of outline topics you want me to review.

 

Let's agree I'll answer 1998 questions first.

 

If my 2004 file is not degraded, that can come second. Otherwise, 1993 can come second.

 

I'm gonna be steadily adding to the Edlio site all week. I have some Free Response Training ideas.

 

As I've said over and over, USE THIS SITE:

 

 

Even though this involves an attached spreadsheet, this is NOT the Spreadsheet Challenge. This is a quality practice problem. And it leads to an example of a spreadsheet that will let you check your work. This example spreadsheet will be referred to in the posting called Spreadsheet Challenge.

 

BEFORE opening this, do the following practice problem: Draw a circuit that has 4100 ohms in parallel with 39,000 ohms. Put that parallel combination in series with an 8200 ohm resistor. Have current run to the network just described through the use of a 1.19 Volt power supply. USE the DC Part 4 notes method to solve for: the current through each resistor, and the voltage across each resistor. This is excellent practice to confirm one's understanding of the Part 4 notes. After you have solved that on your own, you may open this spreadsheet for the answer. The givens of this problem were the lab data of certain students in 2017, and they have asked me to correct their measurements. This is the spreadsheet I am using to correct them. Do as I have said here, and take advantage of this as a practice problem before opening the spreadsheet. Then open the spreadsheet to check your solutions.
