Module Six: Work and Power
North Carolina Virtual Public Schools, Mrs. Melissa Partin
February 29th - This Week's Assignments and Deadlines
In this module, students will learn about work in terms of the relationship among the force applied to an object, the displacement of the object, and the energy transferred to the object. We will also be learning about the six types of simple machines and how they can be combined to make complex machines which can increase the efficiency of work.
It is important that you, the student, use the pacing guide that I provide each week to track your progress with your weekly assignments! All assignments for Module Six are due on Friday, March 4th at midnight. Click below for the Module Six Pacing Guide.
Also, you will need to utilize the Physical Science Reference Table this week which provides essential formulas for our mathematical problems. Click here to download the Reference Table.
Physics Classroom - Work and Power
As we continue to move through Module Six, you may find that you would like to have a tutorial to utilize as a resource. Take a look at this site for extra support: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/energy
Semester Timeline
Please be sure to look at the semester pacing below. You will notice that we do not have a scheduled Spring Break but there are two weeks that are provided for the completion of Module 10. All students should be working to get on pace as soon as possible--remember, assignments lost 10 points for each week that they are submitted late. Also, the next module will not open until the previous module is completed.
Checking Grades
Students should know that their grades within Canvas are updated every 24 hours, Monday through Friday. If a parent/guardian would like to view their child's grades, they should obtain the username and password of the student and sign in at http://ncvps.instructure.com or contact me. For more information on how to view grades in Canvas, please view the video below originally posted within the first newsletter.
