This document outlines the policies, procedures, topics, and requirements for a Physics 10-20 class. The first semester will cover experimental design, graphing, motion, dynamics, impulse, and circular motion. The second semester will cover electrostatics, electricity, waves, astronomy, and electromagnetic waves. Students are required to have a textbook, calculator, Chromebook or tablet, notebook, and folder. Grading will be 5% formative and 95% summative, with summative assessments including exams, quizzes, labs, and classwork. Students must attend class on time, be prepared with materials, participate positively, and produce high quality work. Google Classroom will be used to distribute assignments. Video lectures

12. Google Classroom
This year, Physics 10-20 will be using Google
Classroom as our tool for distributing all
formative work such as assignments, quizzes,
etc…
This Google App is iPhone friendly and Android
friendly - as well as Chromebooks, Tablets, etc…
Everyone is REQUIRED to have access to Google
Classroom - either thru your phone or via the web
Everyone is REQUIRED to learn how to
successfully navigate and use Google Classroom
You will need to use a course code to join our
Google “Class”.
Let’s get started.
