If you will be going to Great America and you have an iPhone, please download the free app called SensorLog. If you have an Android phone, please look for an app that can measure acceleration (g-forces). Ideally, you should be able to share the data you collect with the app to a computer so that you can graph the results.

Homework Due Thurs 5/2
On Thursday you will be bringing in a rough draft of your lesson plan for the final project. This will be worth 10% of your project grade. Please also bring in the supplies for your lesson; we will have time in class to practice.
Your lesson plan must have the following sections:
1. Objective (should start with "Students will be able to...")
2. Description of the science, and why it's important for your students to learn (1 paragraph)
3. Procedures (a table with 3 columns, one for time, one for what the teacher will do, and one for what the students will do)
We are going to add one more section, on safety. Are your students working with anything that could potentially hurt them, e.g. chemicals, sharp objects, electricity, etc.? Put this section right before your procedures.

Project List of Materials
The Physics Lesson project handout states that you need to turn in your finalized list of materials tomorrow, however, since I haven't assigned the projects yet, you won't be able to do this! So, don't worry, there is nothing due for the project tomorrow.

Homework Due Monday 4/15
I have decided we will work on the right hand rule worksheets in class on Tuesday. Also, I will postpone the textbook homework assignment I was going to give this weekend until next weekend. So, the only thing that's due is your STAR practice exam, which is due in the office at 8am on Monday. I want you to be able to concentrate on these problems so you can get the full 25 points, and especially the Juniors, who will be taking the STAR test soon!
