Block 2 (Wednesday) - I will be out with robotics state competition. There are 4 review worksheets on the front table. Each worksheet is worth 2 bonus points on this unit’s test. In order to earn bonus points, you must SHOW WORK (unless the question is a vocabulary type question) as well as turn in the worksheets prior to our test on Friday.
The solutions to all of the problems are linked above but I’m hoping you will take advantage of this and work the practice problems yourself. Please do your OWN WORK, then check your answers. This is the best way to prepare for the test. Here is a short video I made for a few problems on the Conservation of Momentum worksheet. If you have questions, email me….I WILL respond.
