Assignment for November 28/29
Hello everyone!
First, the basic homework for next class is to read 4.1 and prepare for a quiz.
Also, at this point students can begin working on getting our first big Measurement topic quizzes out of the way. Some students may be able to take these tests much sooner than others, with a small amount of extra prep work. These quizzes measure specific measurement topic content, (like knowing what potential energy is) rather than the skills we practice in class, such as problem solving or engineering.
I have created a web page to keep things organized:
MEASUREMENT TOPICS QUIZ PAGE.
Go there and check it out. Feel free to try a quiz for practice and to see how much you already know, but only "official" attempts in class count.
