September 4 - 7: Welcome Back

PHYSICS 20
Tue - Briefly discussed what Physics actually is and then students went into groups and did a Lab on building the tallest free-standing structure that they could with only a piece of paper and a small strip of tape.  The group that built the tallest structure gets a 50% off of a Future Assignment.
Wed - We worked (as a class) on how to formally complete a Lab Report.  Students need to finish the conclusion for last class --> I proposed a question to them that they need to consider and wrap up the Lab for next class (Friday)
Thur - no class
Fri - We discussed last class' homework.  We then moved on to notes on Everyday Physics Terms, Metric System, Converting Units.  No homework.

Tue - Course Outline and Classroom Expectations.  We briefly discussed Measurements (to introduce the opening unit).
Wed - We got refreshed on Proportional Reasoning and then moved on to Conversions of Imperial Units.  Students were warned of a quiz tomorrow.
Thur - We reviewed yesturday's lesson and then we had a Measurement Quiz.  After that, we did a couple examples of conversions.  Assignment: Pg. 11 #1-7.  Due next class.
Fri - Notes on Unit Analysis.  Then I did an example.  I assigned Pg. 11 #9,10,11.

FM 20

Wed - I did an example of Linear Relations with the class and then assigned Pg. 22 #1ab for homework.  DUE NEXT CLASS.
Thur - Reviewed a couple different Scenarios regarding positive/negative linear relations.  Students worked on assignment: Pg. 22 #2, 3 - DUE NEXT CLASS.
Fri - Work period - some students stayed in class and worked on an assignment and others went to the computer lab to research and play Linear Relations Games/Puzzles.

IP 10
Tue - Course Outline and Classroom Expectations.  We briefly discussed Internet Safety and Privacy.
Wed - Went to the computer lab and started working in groups on an assignment on Privacy.  Will continue next class.
Thur - Students continued working on their assignment from yesturday.  Then they moved on to working on Privacy Case Studies.  We will wrap up both of these assignments next class.
