Good work today by both A and C-blocks.  We got through the bulk of Chapter 7.

Next time we will look at the new interpretation of conservative vs. non-conservative forces, and also begin to look at some AP-level applications of these concepts.

Onward.

It's been a long time!

Whew!  Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I feel like this 1st semester flew by!

In an effort to better organize myself, I am going to try once again, to make regular posts here.

Both classes (A and C blocks) have had a chance to go over the Midyear Exam, and now it is time to get back to business.  Tomorrow (Jan. 25th) we will begin Chapter 7, which in many respects is a continuation of Chapter 6.  We will discuss potential energy, and talk about the new mathematics that will be required of us to describe PE at the AP level.

Onward!
