Learning to STUDY, Power Notes, BONUS points next Wed

Notes: Electric POWER

Today I was supposed to give the classes answers to any of the problems they tried out on p. 418-419.  I found that (almost) NO ONE DID IT.
(I did have a couple of people who did, and guess what?   They have been the kids setting the curves on past tests!  Go figure!)

SO....  much of class today for most classes was spent working on stuff that you could have done at home, with the textbooks, while your teacher is getting paid for nothing.

PLEASE!!! Before each test in this class, I always recommend chapter review problems.  I have the ANSWER KEY (Teacher's edition of textbook) ALWAYS AVAILABLE IN CLASS, ADVISORY, AND BEFORE SCHOOL.
You are welcome to check homework answers (that's part of why I give you two days for homework), ask me for guidance if you got answers wrong, and also check your answers to the chapter review.   As this is an HONORS COURSE, I should not have to force you to study; I provide the resources and guidance for you.

This carries through for the rest of the year; work the practice problems, and come in to check your answers.  You may be the next person setting the high score on an exam.

By the way, p. 420-421 would also be great practice for tomorrow's quiz and our exam that we'll have (Later) at the end of the electromagnetism unit.

Bonus Opportunity:  FoxElementarySchool Science Club next Wednesday (3/4) needs volunteers to help little fingers build circuits.  I will be taking the first 25 people who can commit.
Meet at FHS 3:15 and head up to FES w/ Freeman
Stay until 4:45, leave from FES.
