Today we white boarded all of the variation labs. We talked about what makes a good white board and developed a grading scheme for the lab notebooks.
We then started to present the white boards.
We will finish presenting the boards on Monday.

Physics Wednesday Sept. 16th
Today the kids took another pretest. After they finished we finished presenting the getting to know you white boards that they created the other day.
Tomorrow we will be white boarding the lab data.

Honors Physics Wednesday Sept. 16th
Today the kids worked on the variation labs. There are 9 labs altogether. Most lab groups were able to collect data from at least 6 different labs.
If you were not in class, it is your responsibility to get the lab data from your partners.
Tomorrow we will be finishing collecting data, graphing with the computers and white boarding the results.

AP Physics Tuesday Sept. 15th
Today the kids took a pretest.
The second year kids took the MBT.
The first year kids took the FCI.
We will revisit each of these later in the year to see how they do in comparison.

Physics Tuesday Sept. 15
Today in physics we did a couple of things.
First we looked at what makes a good white board. We'll be using white boards to present the labs to each other during class so knowing what is important on each is important.
Second did a quick getting to know you activity where the students drew a defining characteristic of themself on a white board and then brainstormed what they might have in common and drew that also.
We presented these white boards in front of the class.

Honors Phyiscs Tuesday Sept. 15th
Today we took the Lawson Test of Scientific Reasoning.
This test is used by the teachers to gain a better understanding of the level at which the students understand science.
All physics students at GPN will take this test within the first two weeks of school.

Physics Monday Sept. 14th
Today the kids took the FCI one of the assessments we'll be using to test the kids this year.
All physics students will be taking the FCI both before and after instruction.
Look for it again in the spring.

Honors Physics Monday Sept. 14
Today all of the kids took the FCI. The FCI is taken both pre and post instruction so they will all see this again in the spring. Every physics student in the school will take this today.
Tomorrow we'll start the variation labs.
