Final Exam Reviews Are Ready!
(both classes)
The final exam review is a graded assignment.
Get dead tree paper copies from the classroom or get them from the files section of my website. (click that link for more info)
It’s due the day of your final exam, but I will accept it early.
The ultimate senioritis achievement: Exam Exemptions!
I will take time in class with you to confirm your eligibility for exam exemptions this Friday, May 11th. Please look ahead of time. You should already know if you are eligible or not.
And yes, you have to be here between the last test and the final exam – those are regular school days. And yes, there will be graded assignments on those days. (You really really don’t want your grade to drop below an A because you missed an assignment or two. Getting a zero on a final you think you’re exempting might be worse than – well…)
Absent for today’s astronomy lab? Yes, I understand it’s because 86.7% of you had and EOCT or AP Test. Since you also have an astronomy test Wednesday, you can turn in makeup for today’s lab by Friday (5/11).
You will find all the worksheets in the files section. You may do it with a partner, just make sure you get both of your names on it!
This is the last week of school, so don’t be late!!!

Feeling a little frazzled about combined electrical circuits? Don’t panic (yet) – it just takes a little lot of practice. It also helps to do this with a friend – but make sure you can eventually do it on your own.
Sometimes you need an alternate explanation, some more examples and some advice on strategies. (Strategies are important with this topic!) Here are a few outside resources to help:
The Physics Classroom: Combination Circuits (written – very detailed, excellent source)
Khan Academy: Physics (video – sorry, don’t know which one is about combination circuits – someone let me know and I’ll post the info here)
In today’s astronomy lab, I showed a series of images on the board.
If you need to seem them again or were absent, continue reading for the images.
For the classroom notes on series and parallel circuits, click here.
I’ve also been telling you about Khan Academy. Go check out his physics section. Lots of good explanations and review!
