1. Join our Google Classroom
For period 5, use the access code o49mfvl
For period 6, use the access code ahuis6
2. Make an online homework account.
Please go to this link and start an online homework account. First Follow the link in the link column to the right: UT Quest Homework Service. Then choose the Log into Quest Student option. Then choose "I need a UT EID" below the red button. In the next windows and pages answer the questions to get an ID number from the University of Texas. After you submit your information it will send your ID code to your email account. With this code you will will sign in to my class and start the first assignment. You may proceed to sign in now or bring your EID code and password on Friday/Monday. In class we will log in, I will start accepting your enrollment and we will start the first assignment.
This is how to sign in:
Return to the link above and log in.
You will then need to select a class based on a unique number. For Physics the unique number is 201971. Enter the number and then select "look up course info". Scroll down by clicking the arrow on the window that appears through the many other classes designated with that unique number until you find AP Physics 1(Grant High school 2019 Fall). It will probably be the only one. Select it and then select request enrollment.
I will have to admit you into the class. The next time you log in, after I admit you, you will be able to use the "select course" and "select assignment" windows to start the Kinematics homework.

Unit 1: Kinematics
Goals:
1. Reason about motion using definitions and 5 kinematic equations.
2. Make and interpret graphs of displacement, velocity and acceleration.
3. Distinguish between vectors and scalars.
4. Know the acceleration of gravity on earth and how to use it in solving problems.
5. Apply the independence of perpendicular vectors to solve problems in two dimensions.
Key Dates:

Welcome to AP Physics
The 2019-2020 school year has started. Welcome to Physics.
Here is some general information about how the class runs.
Grades:
Approximately 70% Tests, 15% Labs, 15% homework
Tests: About twice a quarter, with a semester finals also. Retakes are available, but only half the missed points are recoverable.
Quizzes: Usually once in the middle of each unit. They're small, but no retakes are available.
Labs: Although we’ll have weekly hands-on lab assignments, I’ll only have you write up formal lab reports about twice a quarter. (The first one will be due near the end of September.) Late labs are penalized at 10% a week. You'll submit these through googleclassroom.
Homework: Most homework will be submitted online through the web site https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/ It will be graded for accuracy, but on a generous scale because I recognize that homework is practice and created to find mistakes. Students who have difficulty getting internet access should talk with me. Accommodations will be found. No late homework accepted except for excused absences.
Grading Scale: 100-90 A, 90-80 B, 80-70 C, 70-60 D, 0-60 F.
Supplies:
Textbook
Notebook, or section of a notebook
Calculator
I hope you find the class challenging and fun.
