How you will LearnBefore Class:

Review previous notesRead over old materialRead new material

During Class:TAKE NOTES!ASK QUESTIONS!ANSWER QUESTIONS!

After Lecture:Use class time to start worksheets/homework.Ask for helpWork together

How to do well on evaluations:Quizzes:

Open note-Bring your notesLabs:

Read the introductionTake careful measurementsShow your workComplete all parts of the lab Ask questions

Tests:Review notesStudy togetherComplete your homework before the due dateReview quizzes and LabsGet help before school at lunch or after school

What is

If it living it is biology.If it is chemicals it is chemistryIf it is rocks it is geology

Physics is everything else and can be applied to biology, chemistry and geology, so…..

Physics is the study of just about everything!

Okay, you want a proper definition:

Physics is the study of the interactions between matter and energy.

In your group examine your pictures.

Identify the areas of Physics illustrated in your pictures-each picture may have more than one area in it.

Construct a Learning Map that includes:Each pictureEach area of physics identified at least once

5 pts Each group member brought in a picture

5 pts Each picture will receive a grade of 1-5 based on the quality/creativity of the picture. (group average recorded)

25 pts Learning Map-1 pt for each area of physics identified at least once

25 pts Learning Map accurately identifies areas

25 pts Learning map is organized and easy to understand

15 pts Pretty points
