Midterm Exam info


The AP Physics MidTerm Exam will consist of multiple choice and free response problems.

It will be on Chapters 1 - 13. We will be doing chapter 12 and 13 when we return from break.

Make sure you student your notes, homework, past quizzes and tests and review the chapters in the book.

Here are some sites you can also use for studying:

http://www.learnapphysics.com/apphysicsb/index.html   (this site has some of same materials as first one, and more)

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/

Remember the class notes are posted here:

You should start reviewing now so that you have time to ask questions and absorb the material again.




IMPORTANT - tell your parents that the progress reports are almost 3 weeks out of date and that they should check PowerSchool for an updated grade.
