To benefit from homework assignments, students will need to use critical thinking skills and extensive problem-solving skills to understand concepts and problems not just complete them. Expect one short quiz a week. Most will be announced. Tests will come at the end of each chapter. Test and quiz formats will generally include multiple choice questions, short answers, and problems. Make-up & Late Work: You are responsible to get information and materials that you have missed. The length of absence and type of absence will affect the amount of time to make up work. Late work will not be accepted. School-related trips do not qualify as absences. Grades: I will use a total points system to determine your grade. Points will come from tests, quizzes, labs, homework, in-class assignments, individual projects, etc. Your final course grade will be determined by your semester grade (85%) and final exam (15%). Tardy Policy 1st Tardy Warning 2nd Tardy Warning 3rd Tardy 15-minute detention (Room 119) 4th Tardy 30-minute detention (Room 119) and parent contact by teacher 5th Tardy Two after-school detentions 6th Tardy One week of cafeteria restriction 7th Tardy Two weeks of cafeteria restriction 8th Tardy Warning that 9th Tardy will result in the student being dropped from the course with a failing grade. Please be aware: Tardies are considered cumulative throughout the entire semester. Extra Credit: I have no idea what that is What is Honors Physics?!? The Honors Physics course at MCHS exists to provide academically strong and motivated students with opportunities to enhance and enrich their education. The course challenges students to think and create at the highest levels of their abilities and encourages them to excel as they work to realize their potentials. The Honors Physics course has established higher standards and expectation than Physics R. Higher standards involve an accelerated pace and material in greater depth. Students enrolled in the course are expected to develop refined and advanced critical thinking skills and apply those skills in homework assignments, quizzes, tests, labs, presentations and projects. Expectations of Honors Students: Maintain an above average percentage in the course Consistently complete and submit work on time Consistently complete and submit assignments that demonstrate thorough preparation Consistently complete and submit high quality written work Consistently demonstrate an attitude of cooperation, active participation, and exemplary classroom attendance Consistently set a positive example for others in class by exhibiting positive behavior and carrying his/her load in group work situations Curriculum: Ch. 2 Representing Motion (Kinematics in One Dimension)  Ch. 3 Accelerated Motion Ch. 4 Forces in One Dimension (Dynamics) Ch. 5 Forces in Two Dimensions Ch. 6 Motion in Two Dimensions Ch. 7 Gravitation Ch. 8 Rotational Motion Ch. 9 Momentum and Its Conservation Ch. 10 Energy, Work, and Simple Machines Ch. 11 Energy and Its Conservation Ch. 12 Thermal Energy Ch. 13 States of Matter Ch. 14 Vibrations and Waves Ch. 15 Sound Ch. 16 Fundamentals of Light Ch. 20 Static Electricity Ch. 21 Electric Fields Ch. 22 Current Electricity Ch. 23 Series and Parallel Circuits Ch. 24 Magnetic Fields Ch. 25 Electromagnetic Induction Physics is not the easiest subject to learn in fact, it is one of the most difficult. It requires you to use extensive problem-solving skills I say that NOT to scare you out of my classroom, but to warn you that you are going to have to put forth a great deal of time and effort (and even that doesn't guarantee you an "A"). However, the rewards gained from establishing a knowledge base in physics will justify your struggles and tiring efforts. Contrary to what you probably think, physics is fun and I will do my part to make it fun and exciting. Good luck and I hope for a great semester!
