3 Welcome to Mr. Erwin’s Physics Class The science at the heart of all other science

4 Getting to know me….. Tim Erwin (Mr. Erwin) Wife: Mrs. Erwin (new music/drama teacher) Dogs: Rabbit and Lyric Hobbies: Kayaking, hiking, sport and Scuba diving, and watching sports B.S. Aerospace Engineering from UC San Diego Previously managed a building supply and lumber yard in Gualala, CA Teaching 8 th grade science, Physical Science, Engineering, and Physics

5 What will we be doing/learning this year: –Studying natural phenomena, forces, energy, heat, light, sound, matter and change –We will use a small number of basic concepts, equations, and assumptions to describe the physical world –We will use physics principles to make predictions about motion, forces, energy, light and electricity –In Physics we will use math to problem solve and predict outcomes Sometimes tough… but very cool stuff!

6 Proficiency Grading Course Component% of Grade Homework /Class Work 15% Inquiries/Labs 15% Proficiency Assessments 70% What is the proficiency grading scale? –A = 90-100 –B = 80-89 –C = 70-79 * Less than 70% fails to meet proficiency and you will receive a zero until you make up proficiency assessment (exams/tests)

7 Proficiency Grading Assessment: This course will be graded based on the student demonstrating proficiency of content knowledge and concepts through proficiency assessments (exams/tests). In class assignments & homework will only be worth 15% of the grade. Labs will also be worth 15%. Completing homework and in class assignments are for practice and developing understanding & proficiency, they do not demonstrate proficiency. Your homework and in class assignment grades are therefore only worth 15% of your grade for the semester. Your homework/assignment grades will be based on completion. EXPECT REGULAR HOMEWORK.

8 Proficiency Grading Tests/Exams (70%): Tests and Exams will be given at the end of each unit. They are used to demonstrate proficiency of the concepts and skills covered during the unit. Calculators and approved handouts may be used on some exams. (No cell phones for calculators) Retakes: All proficiency tests and exams can be re-taken as many times as required until proficiency is met, up to four weeks after the initial assessment was given. After two attempts you may use open notes during the exam but your highest possible score will be 70%. You must correct all wrong answers on the first failed assessment and explain your understanding of the correct answer before attempting a retake. The corrections and retakes must be done on your time after school during office hours: 3:15 to 4:00pm Weds & Thurs.

9 My Teacher WEB Site Located on the CMHS WEB site. Select the link for Staff on the left. Scroll down and select “Erwin, Tim” and then the “Courses Website” link on my page. http://clatskaniehigh.or.ch.schoolinsites.com/ Use it to access lecture notes Use it to study Use it to download assignments (if posted) Use it to review class standards and policy Use it to learn more about your teacher (me).

10 How to succeed in Mr. Erwin’s class Come ready to learn and work Follow class rules and procedures Do your work on time Do your best I will listen to you and treat you fairly when you do the above

11 Daily Journals/Lab Note Book Every day you make an entry in your journal. If you have them, open up your note books and start your journals now. Otherwise bring in tomorrow. Copy down the date, agenda, lesson objectives and warm-up questions & answers. Each day you should start a new section or page with the date as the heading and the daily agenda copied from the blackboard You should record notes on information presented verbally, on the board, by overhead, movie, filmstrip, lecture, etc. in your journal.

12 How you will Learn Before Class: Review previous notes Read over old material Read new material During Class: TAKE NOTES! ASK QUESTIONS! ANSWER QUESTIONS! After Lecture: Use class time to start worksheets/homework. Ask for help Work together

13 How to do well on evaluations: Quizzes: Bring your notes- some may be open note Labs: Read the introduction Take careful measurements Show your work Complete all parts of the lab Ask questions Tests: Review notes Study together Complete your homework before the due date Review quizzes and Labs Get help before school at lunch or after school

14 Mr. Erwin’s Classroom Rules Rule #1 Be on time and in your seat before the tardy bell rings. Rule #2 Raise your hand for permission to speak or to leave your seat. Rule #3 Be responsible. Rule #4 Make smart choices. Rule #5 Respect everyone! Rule #6 Keep Mr. Erwin happy.

15 Safety

16 Laboratory Safety Rules DANGER

17 SAFETY in the Science Classroom Obey the safety contract –Use common sense –No unauthorized experiments –Wear safety glasses –Safety is an attitude! –Don’t take anything out of lab –Read and follow all instructions

18 Basic Safety Rules Use common sense. No horseplay. No unauthorized experiments. Handle chemicals/glassware with respect. Others: #1 Rule:

19 Safety Features of the Lab safety shower fire blanket fire extinguisher eye wash fume hoods circuit breaker switch

20 Safety Equipment Fire Extinguisher Type A Type B Type C Safety Goggles Safety Shower

21 Know the Location of Safety Equipment Let Mr. Erwin know of any accident!!! Fire extinguisher Fire blanket Eye wash & Shower Fume Hoods

22 Know where not to go. Storage Room No students are allowed in the storage room without a teacher’s permission. Except in an emergency where someone needs help or when helping a teacher.

23 Accident/Emergency Procedures Safety begins with the proper attitude. Don’t panic, keep calm and quiet and wait for instructions. Always err on the side of safety. It’s not wrong if it’s cautious. If evacuation is required, your job and duty is to get to a safe location and to allow staff to do the jobs they are trained for. If an accident occurs, let Mr. Erwin know immediately, he will get you help. You will not be in trouble!

24 Emergency Exits Know evacuation routes. Take nothing other than clothing at immediate hand (on you or next to you) Go straight out the exit. Never stop at a locker go to the bathroom or wait for friends. Assemble with your class at the designated assembly area

25 Chemical Burns Chemical burns on feet. Skin burned by chemicals Flammable ReactiveHealth Special Why do we care??? http://www.nclark.net/Lab_Safety.wmv Disfigurement Death!!

26 Safety Pre Quiz Lets See how much you already know When done with the quiz, turn it in up front and pick up the handout, “Science Safety Rules” When done reading, raise your hand, I will give you a quiz to grade.

27 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) gives information about a chemical -- lists “Dos” and “Don’ts;” emergency procedures --

28 Chemical Exposure a one-time exposure causes damage acute exposurechronic exposure damage occurs after repeated exposure reaction to drugs or medication e.g., smoking, asbestos

29 the lethal dosage for 50% of the animals on which the chemical is tested LD 50 There are various ways an LD 50 can be expressed. For example, acetone has the following LD 50 s: ORL-RAT LD 50 : 5,800 mg/kg IHL-RAT LD 50 : 50,100 mg/m 3 -h SKN-RBT LD 50 : 20 g/kg

30 Example Which is more toxic? Chemical A is more toxic because less of it proves fatal to half of a given population. Chemical A: LD 50 = 3.2 mg/kg Chemical B: LD 50 = 48 mg/kg

31 The Scientific Method

32 Observe an unknown & ask A Question Form Hypothesis (An educated prediction) Experiment & Test Hypothesis Collect Data Analyze Results Draw Conclusions & Communicate Results *Remember the acronyms: OHEDAC or OHEDACC

33 ** Key: Be a good observer. observationinference involves a judgment or assumption uses the five senses

34 Types of Data Observations are also called data. qualitative data quantitative data clear liquid -- -- e.g.,e.g., descriptionsmeasurements 55 L or 83 o C

35 Parts of the Scientific Method Observe & Identify an unknown (Ask a question). Make a hypothesis: a testable prediction Repeatedly experiment to test hypothesis. procedure: order of events in experiment variable: any factor that could influence the result (i.e., a recipe)

36 A Scientific Experiment conclusion: must be based on the data Experiments must be controlled: they must have at least two set-ups that differ by only one variable

37 Scientific Law vs. Scientific Theory law: Theory of Gravity, Atomic Theory states what happens tries to explain why or how something happens -- e.g., does not change law of gravity, laws of conservation never violated -- theory: -- e.g., -- based on current evidence

38 Recap What is Physics? –The study of natural phenomena –The study of natural phenomena of basic things such as motion, forces, energy, matter, heat, sound, light, and the composition of atoms 2. What branches of science use physics? –All branches! 3. What are the steps in the Scientific Method? *Remember OHEDAC –Observe an unknown & ask A Question –Form Hypothesis (An educated prediction) –Experiment & Test Hypothesis –Collect Data –Analyze Results –Draw Conclusions & Communicate Results 4. What is the difference between a law vs. theory? –Law: States what happens –Theory: Tries to explain why or how something happens
