Syllabus+2012

Welcome to Physics For Advancement! SUMMER 2012 June 25 – July 27 8:20 – 1:35 pm Instructor: Elise Burns

__**NOTE 2:**__ Gizmos can be found at www.explorelearning.com. To complete a Gizmo, you must do the activities and worksheets posted below, and answer the 5 assessment questions that are UNDERNEATH the Gizmo itself. To ENROLL in the class, use this Class Code: DUSVABVGEW. __**NOTE 3:**__ In general, each day is broken into 2 lessons. The first lesson ends with the quiz on the previous day's material and then a 30 minute break. The only exceptions are the midterm and final exam, when you will be dismissed early. __**NOTE 5:**__ All handouts are in your binder, unless noted otherwise.
 * __NOTE 1:__** All Readings can be found at The Physics Classroom.
 * __NOTE 4__:** Short quizzes will be given each day on the previous day's material. Most days they will be multiple choice questions online at www.Quia.com. Click here for the class list: Daily Quiz. Your username is your full name with 309 at the end of it (no spaces). Your password is "Physics".
