Welcome Back 2014 - 2015 AP Physics 1

DoNow: Find your seat for the next couple weeks.

AIM: I will be able to describe the AP Physics 1 Course and what is necessary for doing well on the test in May. I can define what a vector is in physics and how to perform addition and subtraction of parallel vectors.

Activities:
CLASS PEP TALK
Welcome to our awesome classroom. I am looking forward to having you play with all the physics toys and helping you learn about the models that we use to describe and predict how the universe works in an accelerated and in-depth fashion.

For my class you will need some supplies:
1. Composition notebook: Reflection and Lab (Additionally, a way to organize class notes, reading notes, loose handouts and homework are suggested.)
2. Calculator: The CollegeBoard allows certain graphing calculators, I require scientific calculators on any exam/test/quiz.
3. WhiteBoard Markers.
4. Pen or pencil and eraser.
