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 want some awesome 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 allow scientific calculators (non-graphing and non-programmable) on any exam/test/quiz.

3. WhiteBoard Markers. (get your personal favorite colors and smell)

4. Pen or pencil and eraser. (just like you would expect)
