Mr. Cox's Homework and Parent Communication

	Homework assignments for this week: Monday, March 15th -- Friday, March 19th ~ Study for the QUIZ on laws, forces and friction this Friday. ~ Answer the questions from our labs: "Sticky Shoes" and "Gravity" by Monday. ~ Type a final draft lab report and follow these directions: Lab Report and Rubric. Try to include an "abstract" which is simply a one-paragraph summary of your entire lab report, and it's usually placed at the beginning of your lab report. Homework assignments from last week: Monday, March 8th -- Friday, March 12th ~ Create Cornell style notes on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Include the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Homework assignments from the previous week: Monday, March 1st -- Friday, March 5th ~ Build, train and test your physics "Olympics" athlete this week. Training logs are due Friday. ~ ~~Show 4 force diagrams in your notebook that label the forces acting on an object by this Friday~~. Instead, finish the "web" of terms that relate to the physics olympics project. Don't skip the questions on the back! Parent Communication: Greetings, parents! I will often post homework or important communication information on this page and I hope you'll visit here often. Our current unit is PHYSICS, and we'll study topics including motion, forces, gravity and flight. Stay informed and surprise your son or daughter by asking a question from one of these topics anytime. Grades are posted online by student name and ID number. To access grades from my website or from InClass: 1. Click on the "Grades" button (either on my website, or on the science InClass page) 2. Enter your student's last name and first name, such as "Cox, Jim" (Last Name, space First Name) 3. Enter your student's 8 digit I.D. number (the same one used to access InClass). You should see your student's grade sheet appear. Please email me if you encounter any difficulty.
