AP Physics C Update for April 16, 2001 Please reply to this message to confirm that you received it! 32. Journal Prompt for the Week of April 16, 2001: Did you feel that the Impulse and Momentum Presentations were worthwhile as an observer? As a presenter? Why? 31. Journal Prompt for the Week of April 9, 2001: Compare and Contrast the three methods of determining the Center of Mass of your object. 30.

Place the Portfolio IN MY HAND when you are finished with it. This Portfolio should have the Checklist in the front, and then the 7 items in order, for this Portfolio, including the Complete Journal Writings (1-32). Each item should have a unique Cover Instrument (CI). In the back of your Portfolio should be your Purged Portfolio -- the best of each of the 6 items from the previous 6 Portfolios over the school year. These items should represent your best shot in each of the 6 categories, and not necessarily your best grades on these items. Your Grade for the 4th Quarter Progress Report will be the grade that you make on the 4th Quarter Midterm Portfolio. It might be wise to have me look at one or two items in your Portfolio before you finish it since you will not be able to correct this Portfolio. All items in this Portfolio should come from the Fodder list (below). 4th Quarter Midterm Portfolio Fodder: The following items qualify for use in this Portfolio, if you have done them and turned them in to be graded. · Journal (writings 1-32) = Journal. · Quiz April 16, 2001 with Corrections and Reflections = Ability to Test. · IP Collisions. · The Spring Thing, Swinging Ellipses, or Up and Down - Lab or Presentation. · APPC 1998 Multi-Guess. · Chapter 9 Part I Problems - Pages 207-210, Problems 1, 3, 7, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21. · CM I, II, or III - on the SketchPad. · Impulse and Momentum, Supplementary Problems, or Samples Presentations. · Chapter 9 Part II Problems 24-26, 30, 44, 47, 50, 54, 61, 70, 76. · APPC Web page (only two more chances to do this!). · Other works of APPC as you think appropriate (and have approved by me). You should have done the following: - Written in your Journal. - Present your assigned sample problem from the Impulse and Momentum Problem packet. - Present your lab to the class: The Spring Thing - Up and Down - Swinging Ellipses. - IP Collisions. - APPC 1998 Multi-Guess. - Chapter 9 Part I Problems - Pages 207-210, Problems 1, 3, 7, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21. - CM I, II, or III - on the SketchPad. - Impulse and Momentum, Supplementary Problems.
