Objective: SWBAT understand what a vector is and how it is used in science.
Warm Up: Pick up your summer assignment packet. There is no grade on it, but I have looked it over and recorded a grade on a rubric. I still need to fill in your outline grade and whether or not you emailed me over the summer, so you'll get your overall grade on your summer assignment on Monday.
What do you think is the difference is between distance and displacement?

2) Fill out all AP Physics B paperwork, get parent signatures and turn it in tomorrow.
3) Log onto our Edmodo (www.edmodo.com) class page (create an account following the directions I provided for you if you don't already have one). Complete the short assignment that is listed there.

Help with the summer assignment
So, sometime between the end of May when I last checked it and the end of June, the website listed in your summer assignment decided to move the online help pages. The new url for the online help pages will be http://www.fordhamprep.org/page.cfm?p=706 . However, as of today, that page is not working.
Most of the summer assignment is a review, so many of you will know how to do most of it right off the bat. But, for those of you who would like some help (or reassurance) for your summer assignment, here are some possibilities:
The Khan Academy- http://www.khanacademy.org/ They have a searchable base of online videos (many of which are short and to the point). Try searching what you are interested o
in and then read the descriptions of the videos. Choose a video and watch.
Graphing- Read the information given in your packet and use it and what you've been taught in the past to answer the questions.
Error- Many of you probably haven't learned much about error in measurements. This is the section of the summer assignment that is probably new material for most of you. Read the information given in your packet and use it to answer the questions.
If you have questions, feel free to email me. heyesd@calvertnet.k12.md.us I will be checking my email almost daily, so you should get a reasonably timely answer.
Good luck, and my apologies that the help site isn't working.

Hello again,
Hope you all are keeping cool and didn't loose power for very long because of that storm. Mine was only out for 8 hours, so I consider myself lucky!
So I just got word that the school is ordering new books for us. So please don't purchase the old one listed at the top of the summer assignment. You'll get your book on the first day of school. Since you won't have the book to do the Chapter Outline that is due the first day of school, the chapter outline will be due on Thursday of the first week of school. The remainder of the summer assignment will still be due on the first day of school.
Have a great summer and stay cool.
