AP Physics B Information, Expectations, Etc.
2
AP Physics B Why are you here? Good reasons and bad reasons. Already taken regular physics? 2 nd semester seniors
3
AP Physics B: My Expectations Be Prompt! Be on time. Every day will start with a Warm Up question. Some of these will be on a quiz Be on Task! Use class time wisely, there is a great amount of physics to cover, much more than CP physics Show Respect! For everyone & everything. Please listen to me and others: don’t talk out of turn. Participate! Ask questions, perform the labs, do work in class while you have the time here.

AP Physics B Additional comments….. I really want this to be a good class, so please be here for the right reasons and be good while we’re together. If you are uncertain about taking this class, talk with me about it. I’ll do my best to make the class enjoyable and educational & help you learn some interesting stuff.
