Aug 27 was year 22, day 1. Intro classes for Physics 1 (9th gr), Physics 2 (new course), and accelerated Precalc. Physics 2 opened class by trying to time releasing a marble down a track to hit an X on a rotating disk. #teach180 #iTeachPhysics

Day 2: Physics 2 solved Ramp vs. Turntable as an introduction to circular motion. I wanted to see them working on a problem, reviewing their physics, and working with lab equipment. These observations help me set an initial level for this new course. #teach180

Day 3: Accel Algebra and Precalc is 2 courses in 1, meant to propel a select batch of juniors into calculus for senior year. We use cognitive science, explicit practice on study skills, and standards based grading to get them there. Stus take a quiz every. single. day, starting now. #teach180
