these up from the bookroom6. Homework completed so that you are

ready for class7. Calculator

FEB 2 AND 3, 2014

• Welcome to Semester 2, what we will be studying

• Grading: Weighted grade –tests are 70%, quizzes 5%, Labs 15% and stamp sheets 10%

• Assessment for Reviewing last semester

• Giancoli Notes on Conservation of motion and collisions

• Today’s vocabulary:• Conservation of momentum

• collision• Homework: Read pg. 198-200 in the Holt book

Do homework sheet #1

Learning Target: Be able to describe Conservation of momentum. Question of the day (turn to a neighbor and discuss): What are three physics concepts you learned last semester?
