Welcome to Physics!

I am very excited for a great year in physics.  This blog is a great place to find information about what happens in class, daily homework assignments, long term assignments, as well as links to answer keys and extra help.  It would be a great idea to bookmark this page so you may visit it on a regular basis.  So let's get started with what happened on the first day of school!

Much of the first day is spent taking care of the business side of things.  We got our textbooks, which need to be covered and kept at home.  We also completed a student information form on the computers.  This information is vital for my communication with you! We also spent some time getting to know each other and what exactly is physics any way????  The last thing we did was take a diagnostic test to see how much you know (or don't!) about physics and the way the mechanical world works.  We will take the same exact test at the end of the year so you can see your improvement.


Homework
