Today, we started by going over reflections in plane mirrors, and saw how Mr. Eye-Foot can help us figure out how big a mirror we need. Then we collected data on the images we could form from our LED F's. We will analyze the data in class on Monday. I didn't think we'd get this far, but I forgot how quickly I can go in these two small AP Physics 2 classes.
You'll notice I'm only talking about my AP Physics 2 class. I think it makes a good focus for the blog, and I want to use this blog to remind myself of what I'm doing each day and how it went. Today, I also did the following things:
- Went through a big stack of purchase orders to send them off to administration
- Fix a mistake in one of the purchase orders
- Help a colleague with a science class that seems over the safe number of students
- Taught two physics first classes, where we did my favorite lesson of lighting a light bulb with just one wire and one battery
- Graded binders from my physics first classes
- Helped a student who didn't finish his binder fix it when I stayed late to grade those binders
- Figured out how to fix Monday's lesson on the continuous conducting path in physics first
- Tutored two students in math in my study hall
- Tutored one student this morning in AP Physics C
- Taught my large AP Physics C class, where we did our first AP free response questions
And today was an easy day. Teaching is hard, y'all.
