Video Project

Here are some examples of physics videos to get you thinking . . .

“Eureka!” is a series of funny cartoon videos made in the 1970′s. Very funny. Example

This girl makes math videos, and I hope you’ve already seen them, but if you  haven’t, here’s your chance. You could make a similarly styled physics video.

Minute Physics is a similar drawing style, but for physics concepts.

 

AP Physics Exam Review

Here are some resources for reviewing.  Have fun!

Videos specifically made to review all of the AP C topics are here. The videos are the links that say “play lesson.”  These are made by the University of California and are cartoon-style.

This guy made a ton of youtube videos covering AP C stuff. They aren’t super flashy but are good at explaining things.

This site compiles videos from lots of places (grouped by topic) and also has practice multiple choice questions with answers. Just click on a particular topic and scroll down for the problems.

This site made by a textbook company has tons of questions with answers and worked out problems. Choose a chapter and then you can pick from the options at the left of the screen.

You can find lots of old AP free response problems and solutions here.

Here is the powerpoint we went through with all of the example multiple choice questions. Google docs messed up the formatting a bit, so you you will probably want to download it.

The official AP course description has a great list of all the specific objectives you will be tested on. Check it out here (starts on page 17).

 

End of quarter 3

Quarter 3 is over on Thursday, April 5. If you owe any late work, get it turned in ASAP! I’m going to be spending my 3-day weekend getting grades done, so I need late work before then.

Power activity websites

If you are in Physics I Honor and want some extra review questions, here are some extra ones I wrote for you. An answer key is included. SKIP questions 10, 20, and 21 because we didn’t do that stuff this year!

Midyear Exams!

January 23 is the date of the physics midyear.

We’ll be doing some review in class, but you’ll need to spend time on your own reviewing everything you’ve learned this year. Start studying early!

Exam times/rooms:

A block: 10:45 in room 237

C block: 10:45 in room 236

F block: 8:30 in room 300

G block: 8:30 in room 301

Conflict times for AP Physics: 10:45 Tuesday in 370 or 8:30 Wednesday in 370

F block quiz Monday!

Yes, you will still have the quiz on Monday even though I am out sick today. You should know all that we’ve learned about vectors. Be able to add them, find components, and use angles to describe direction.
