10. Safety Information: What to do for an evacuation: –Stay as a class. –Shut all windows immediately. –Once outside stay together as a class What to do for a lock down: –Immediately close all blinds and gather in the back right corner and sit in a comfortable position. –All cell phones off why?...

16. My expectations: I want your best –What is the point of doing something if it is not your best?

21. Lab Contract: These will be handed out tomorrow or the next day depending if the photo copier works. Pass in all lab contracts signed by a parent, parents or guardian.

22. Re-arranging equations: Solve for ‘a’: v = v o + at

23. Re-arranging equations: Solve for ‘v o ’: v = v o + at

24. Solve the following equations: Solve for ‘x’: v 2 = v o 2 + 2(a) (x - x o )

25. Solve the following equations: Solve for ‘a’:∆d = v o (t) + ½ (a) (t 2 )

26. Work to complete in class: Complete re-arranging assignment for tomorrow. This will be checked to see if completed.
