Physical Science For Teachers - Physics (PS.122)
Unit 1: Mechanics

First homework: obtain a writing journal for science, and set-up to use it ... set-up instructions here
. . . if you don't have one already (from PS.121)

plan for Web-Works to be due on Saturdays at midnight ...

Unit 1 Exam was Thr.Feb.10 . . . here is my grading key page 1 ... page 2 ... page 3 ... page 4 ... page 5
