Day 14
Fri
Dec 23 / The Motor Principle Project
Performance task
-Build a motor
-Explain how it works
Jan 9-13 / Missed Performance Task
*If you are not able to complete the motor on Friday you must build one on your own over the break.
*Please schedule 20 minutes after school any day in first week back after Christmas for evaluation of your motor.
*This task will be weighted the same as a lab.
Jan 9 / Missing Labs
*Any missing labs must be submitted the first day back after Christmas. If you chose not to do a lab, it is equivalent to leaving half a test blank.
*If you are missing data you must stay after school before you leave for Christmas to do the experiment again.
*Only data may be shared between group members. The rest of the lab must be your own work.
See your agenda p. 21-22
Jan 9-18 / Waves and Sound
*After the break we will complete a short unit on Waves and Sound.
*Test or performance task for this unit will be determined in the new year.
Jan19,20,23,24 / Culminating Tasks/Exam Review
*These days are reserved for exam review and culminating tasks. Dates for each student’s presentation will be scheduled in the new year.
*If you wish to work on your culminating task over the holidays, have your topic approved before Christmas.
Jan 25 / Exam
* SPH3U is scheduled on the first exam day at 12:00 p.m
