hi everybody Mister dance Brandon I teach Advanced physics high school and I want to introduce you to some things that you should know for this course first of all let's start with a look at the syllabus okay and here is the advanced physics syllabus blurry or something on you but at least hopefully you can this is available on the website at Point Loma High. Com tell my teacher page you can find it there forces Advanced physics there's a phone number I don't monitor all the time. My cell phone is the Google voice if you call that or text that I will get an email at this email that you have called or texted me and I'll get back to you. Do whatever you did you text me I'll text you back call me I'll call you back is a textbook for this course I utilize it as much as possible it's a pretty high-level College textbook for freshman I have to really invent a lot of the stuff to get them ready for this to be archive.org if you if you just go in Google and you do a Google search for Glencoe physics and then pick the one that's at archive.org it's a free release its public release now the kids about went to it in our classroom so let's see office hours that student office hours are every class that I have the last 15-20 minutes something like that I'm meeting with students in there helping them with problems some students just hang out and listen to the stuff that other students are asking other students to help them with things if I can and then if things lined up being longer than I think I can do in that time we would set up something or we can efficiently use some up some other time to get some stuff done parents office hours or not that 15 minutes of class so I can't meet with parents and it's all about kids then parents you should email me and then we'll set up a meeting either assume dating or telephone meeting or go back and forth to an email whichever you prefer but if you need to contact me do not show up for the last 15 minutes class please I would just ask you to add lots of rain to different time email me if that happens so Physics course utilized online approach really what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to think forward for many of these especially if this online type of learning continues for a long. Time and I think it will at least the skills that are there then it will still be used we might be still a face-to-face but will still be used a lot of the skills I'm trying to build skills especially within a Google class and you think typically Google Docs Google Sheets Google Slides the basic features within a Google class and it was in Google that I think kids would benefit from learning skills within that so that's another thing that I'm doing high-quality work using those our first semester motion mechanics kinematics at this semester and then energy and momentum systems are predictive systems that we used to predict things with it's about setting up success for later I work a lot with the setting up things that'll help them in chemistry and help them just do what they decide that physics or engineering or some other type of physical sciences in their future are the skills that they'll learn in this class will benefit them and then second semester atomic theory of thermodynamics electricity and magnetism sounded like phenomenon to do those those last few topics that we could cover in beginning physics there's things that we do for students take your time to be good Learners here on campus and this is one of the main things that we should go over the grades in here how they're broken down there they're in a percentage category there's three categories in this class the categories are evaluations those are quizzes there's laughs at the lab then his homework and letter grades are assigned based on the breakdown of the students overall average is 90.0 and up is going to be in a 89.9. 280.0 is a b yeah you didn't 89.9 I feel bad for you but they're so there's a cut off somewhere and this is a this is a high-stakes course where you know you got to know two there was probably you could have done the razor cradle of all so watch that that's that's not the teacher taught when that happens I feel bad for you but I've got to keep the Integrity of this class correct I can't be somebody's great up there is none of that there's no extra credit in this course there's nothing like that it's the work it's the standards so these are categories evaluations labs and homeworks let's look at those evaluations science course stuff so this is where I prepare you for the future where you going to have one time and one time only to take these things is that your final evaluation to see if you've picked up the standards not your time to do that to get the standards that's these labs and homework so you're able to do you are able to reduce stuff in this class. to remediate and a resubmit and get higher grades to laughs is all about getting high for a possible so a lab typically what I would do is move to labier this is our Motion Lab for a when they're doing right now and it goes through this is if you open up this this link will be to a link of the lab what we're doing how we're collecting the data and the physics that's involved me talking to the kid and then what I would do is if this is my answer key so this is what the answer should be this is what I'm hoping a student will submit to me but I will start when they was submitted back with their name and then once I I see they are speckled down to it and let's say I get to this one of those skills that they see in the video and they how to get this done how to get this created well there might be a problem like they might have forgotten the the title so are labeling one of the acts so what I do is I would click on it and I'd add a comment over onto the side of their lap and I'll say label axes and then I returned it to them 0 now they don't have any great on it you don't get partial grades unless it's a hundred or nothing I'm not going to have one on my key here so then what they do is they find my comment when it's returned to them they read it that they fix it they resubmit it to me and then I look at the comments against a yep they fixed it I look at the lab if not then I'd be on make more comment or I'd say stay at the end of class and then eventually they get down to the bottom of the well play done all the stuff which is learn a skill that skill for this lab is going to do those back graph in Google Sheets learn some Physics tools that we use we collect data we analyze data we make predictions use the four-step method for solving that's a big thing so these are some skills I'm constantly trying to build with students and then some follow-up questions regarding the lab itself and some of the standards that that lab approaches in our class like we're trying to read my grass in this lab shows us different position versus time graphs that we analyzed so just some answers about those if I get to the end of the lab and it's everything's good then I'm going to put a grade of 10 out 7 on it and return it in the limited resubmissions and you don't lose Greg which is great I just to do some real remedial stuff to the labs so complete using the video the lab on the class website so that's what the kids get they may recent recent medal as many times as possible as the semester allows for eventual full credit on completing the standard so the cut off his last day of the semester I got to stay on top of this cuz you're only going to get returned once per day I don't sit here just waiting for a kid to give me a lab so I can get a comet return it I did I read them once a day in the morning and I returned that the students and their homework in the morning and then in the afternoon I'm developing curriculum for this class for these classes and having meetings do that scaffolding correct it's not going to happen right so I need students to get into a habit of doing some work outside of class regularly and getting it in regularly they don't have to get it right have to try it so they can correct their mistakes so long as they try their whole homework that's when I start looking at homework then I will give full credit to another time when they don't do their they don't do enough of it that they're going to receive 0 credit but then they can finish it up completed after the due after the time it was due 8 a.m. naked resubmitted for half credit so that you don't get focused purple guy in the beginning of the semester we got to be careful we have one lab right now that's 40% of the class and not too many kids got checked off on the first time why because I am very picky I'm going to make them do things right and I want them to do it right and there's a right way so I get them to do it the right way I waited. I'm later in the future and that takes sometimes does submitting the lab for 5 even 20 times some of the lads and some students it's okay we're remediating we're learning to find me a Monday of a week get a lab all the way through to attend I'm not going to put that into PowerSchool Bill Friday I've got too much to do I told you what I'm doing with my time here I'm working from 6 in the morning 12:05 6 at night I'm doing this right here where I live at now 5:46 p.m. meetings all day and I'm going to get this done now something else I got to do this video so please be patient with teachers to I'm very patient with students we're learning a lot of stuff in the stakes are going to happen so we'll correct them as we can get them take me to my email that's really where you want to get to me I'll check that you know pretty much every day and old guy but I still love I still have to get used to some technology and check if an email has built into my building to my DNA but I do pretty good everyday all right so there's a syllabus we went over what a lab is like and now I'm just some general stuff about the class that I'm I'm I'm very experienced in teaching physical done it for over 20 years at Point Loma High School in over 25 years together and I like teaching it but I got to tell you this online on so remember that grade thing with the labs especially I don't have can't enter grades all the time that can't be my number one priority setting a grade in PowerSchool it's got to be remediated kids so that's my number one priority and right now it's the stuff I need them to know by the next level three which is very different than an omelette in person I've got I've got some cool things that are happening in class I'm learning some things when this gets back to face the SMS has integrated into my face to face is going to make it so much better so I appreciate the effort put in here and again I'm learning systems and I'm learning how to do things in a way that I will say that I think would be effective for your kids care about them I do want them to learn but there's a lot on them in this type of class and especially for a teenager there's a high level of Integrity that they need to have at this level and there's a high level of of schedule when I was a teenager I don't know if I either though so I appreciate your kids and what they're trying to do I really do it's got to be hard and if you need to talk to me again emails the best play and I hope you can use later on thanks for having a pretty cool school I'm jealous I wish I had gone there thank you very much
