Using the Phet website and the "My Solar System" simulation, make the following Solar Systems:

1. Sun, Planet, Moon
2. Sun,. 3 planets
3. Binary Star, 2 planets
4. Elliptical System (4 bodies)
5. Your Creation

Each system must not use the presets (you must change them)

Each system must be stable (no collisions, lost moons or planets) indefinitely.  Practically, this means it needs to run for 200 seconds.

Each system must be unique to your group (no sharing solutions).

For each system, record the presets and which system it is.

Turn in one page of the systems per group.

Scoring:

Parent Signature on Grade Sheet

Students were given grade printouts Monday in class.  Students with missing assignments or low grades are asked to provide a Parent Signature on the grade sheet.

Students that are current on assignments and doing well do not require a Parent Signature.  However, Parents should ask to see the grade sheet.  That way, they can celebrate with their student!

Linear Motion Unit Exam

Be prepared for the Unit Exam.

You will need to know:
MKS units
Dimensional Analysis
Horizontal Motion (position, velocity, acceleration)
Vertical Motion (aka Free Fall); Hang Time

SO YOU WANT TO BE A PHYSICS TEACHER?

 

Mr. Odell is wondering if students can come up with a better exam than he can.  So, here is your chance to develop the unit exam. 

You must develop a Linear Motion exam worthy of giving to the class. 

You may work in groups to come up with ideas and questions.  However, each student must turn in an exam.   No two exams should be identical, so please change the numbers in your questions (and your answers).

 

Here are the parameters you must meet:

1. The exam cannot exceed 20 questions.

2. The exam should contain a mix of multiple choice and show work questions.  However, no more than 10 show work questions should be included (takes too long and too hard to grade).

3. Your exam should contain at least one each of the following problems:

        i.            Definition of Speed and Velocity

      ii.            Definition of acceleration

    iii.            Velocity at top of a thrown ball arc

     iv.            Acceleration at top of a thrown ball arc

       v.            Find average speed

     vi.            Find average acceleration

   vii.            Mix of units for speed or acceleration problem requiring dimensional analysis to solve

 viii.            Find time of travel given speed and distance

     ix.            Find distance traveled given acceleration and time

       x.            Find free fall distance fallen given time

     xi.            Find free fall velocity given time

   xii.            Find free fall velocity given distance (two step problem)

 xiii.            Find free fall time given distance

 xiv.            Find free fall velocity given distance (two step problem)

   xv.            Find hang time given max height

 xvi.            Find max height given hang time

xvii.            Find max height given initial velocity

4. Your exam must have at least one problem with a narrative including our hero Quincer.

What you will turn in:

1.      A document that looks like an exam.  It should have clearly labeled directions, numbered questions, and answer choices for multiple choice questions.  Think about the space you need to leave for show work problems.

2.      A solution key.  It should contain the correct multiple choice answer for each problem.  It should contain the expected work for each problem (show equations, work, etc.)  See Mr. Odell's example Key for the Practice exam.

 

Scoring:

This exercise will be counted like a lab (it is a project).

Score A: Exam meets all required questions, has complete key, correct answers, and has creative questions and narratives.  This exam is worthy of offering as the test (and I very well may use it!)

 

Score B: Exam is a good effort that meets most required questions, has a complete key, correct answers, and has the required narrative.   This exam could be the class test with a little bit of clean up.

 

Score C:  Exam meets at least half of the required questions, has a complete key, correct answers, and some narrative.  This exam shows and effort by the student, but is not worthy of using for the class.

 

Score I:  Exam show little effort.  Has incorrect answers.  Is missing any major requirements.  this exam will require a redo.

Unit I Practice Exam

Instructions:
1. Take the exam as a test (go through and do the best you can).
2. Download the Key from the website.  Score your exam.  Be sure to put score/30 in the top right corner of your exam.
3. Now go back and look at the problems you missed.  For each incorrect problem:
4.  After waiting at least 2 hours, have a parent or friend ask you the problems you missed.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you can consistently do all the problems correctly.

Be sure to show the score each time you take the exam.  Clearly label your correction work.
