Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I'm excited to have you in class, and I hope you're looking forward to a good year of learning about physics.

CP Physics is a challenging course that explores the laws that govern the ways objects move or are changed. Students will need strong Algebra skills, an interest in scientific issues, and a willingness to work hard in order to be successful in this course. Over my career, I’ve found that students who take Physics in high school are generally better prepared for college than those who don't.

Here's what we're doing in class for the first week of school:

I hope you had a great first week and that you were able to get some rest this weekend before we attempt to go to school for five full days without strange bell schedules or burning birds. Let me know you have any questions!

Everything below this section is from the 2023-2024 school year!

Week 26: Monday, February 26th – Friday, March 1st

Welcome to the end of February! To wrap up Black History Month, one last physicist I'd like to tell you about is Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson (b. 1946). Dr. Jackson was born in Washington, D.C. where she attended Roosevelt Senior High School (what a coincidence!) and later enrolled at MIT to study theoretical physics. While at MIT, she advocated for the recruitment and retainment of black students, and was a co-founder of the Black Students' Union. She earned her Bachelor's degree in 1968 and her PhD in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics in 1973, becoming the first black women to earn a Bachelor's degree and the first to earn a PhD from MIT in any field. Dr. Jackson joined the Theoretical Physics Research Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1976, where she researched the optical and electronic properties of two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional systems. In 1995, she was appointed by President Clinton to serve as chairperson of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, becoming the first woman and the first African American to hold that position. Dr. Jackson became the 18th president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1999 - the first woman and first African American to hold this position (notice a pattern?) - and served in that role for 23 years, helping to raise over $1 billion in donations for philanthropic causes. She was also the Chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board under President Obama from 2014–2017. Dr. Jackson is married to Dr. Morris Washington, a physics professor at RPI, and she is a member of Delta Sigma Theta, a historically African American sorority. What an incredible career!

Here's the plan for this week as we begin to wrap up projectile motion:

The momentum unit has lots of lab activities involving carts colliding with each other, so those should be a lot of fun! As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great week, and good luck to the Juniors taking the ACT on Tuesday!

Week 25: Tuesday, February 20th – Friday, February 23rd

Welcome back from your extended weekend! Another Black physicist I'd like to tell you about is Dr. Edward Alexander Bouchet (1852-1918). Dr. Bouchet was born in New Haven, Connecticut where he attended one of only three schools that admitted Black children. Based on his academic prowess, he was later accepted into Hopkins Grammar School, a private institution that prepared young men to attend Yale, and he graduated first in his class at Hopkins. He became the first Black student to graduate from Yale in 1874, and was the first Black student to ever be nominated for the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa honor society. In 1876, Bouchet successfully completed his dissertation on geometric optics and became the first Black person to ever earn a Ph.D. from an American university as well as only the sixth American of any race to earn a Ph.D. in physics. Unfortunately, despite his accomplishments, Bouchet was unable to obtain a college or university position due to institutional racism, so he moved to Philadelphia to teach at the Institute for Colored Youth (ICY) in its new science program for the next 26 years where he influenced countless Black students. He left in 1902 when the all-white board fired all of the teachers and held a variety of positions in education over the next 14 years, including as principal of Lincoln High School of Gallipolis, Ohio. Illness forced him to retire in 1916 and he passed away in 1918; he never married or had children.

Here's the plan for this week and our last activities in Unit 7: Projectile Motion:

Enjoy your abbreviated week! As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Week 24: Monday, February 12th – Thursday, February 15th

Hello again! Another Black physicist I'd like to tell you about is Valerie Thomas (b. 1943). Ms. Thomas earned her degree in physics with honors from Morgan State University and was hired by NASA as a data analyst in 1964. While at NASA, she developed software to analyze real-time data from satellites and oversaw the creation of the Landsat program, the longest-running acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. She also pioneered the use of satellite technology to automate the prediction of crop yields around the world. In 1977, she began research on ways in which light and concave mirrors could be used to transmit 3-D illusions of an object, which led her to invent and patent the "illusion transmitter", a technology still being used by NASA today. Ms. Thomas retired in 1995 and has received many awards, including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal.

Here's the plan for this week as we continue our work in Unit 7: Projectile Motion:

Enjoy your looong weekend, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Week 23: Monday, February 5th – Friday, February 9th

Happy Black History Month! Before I list this week's activities, I'd like to tell you about Warren Elliot Henry (1909-2001), who was a Black physicist who studied magnetism and superconductivity. He was valedictorian of his class at the Tuskegee Institute, earned his Masters degree in organic chemistry at Atlanta University, and received a PhD in Physical Chemistry and Physics from the University of Chicago. Some of his work included inventing a metal dewar for liquid helium and a magnetic moment lift for moving samples in and out of a magnetic field. He also established that uranium is a semiconductor and performed experiments on magnetic susceptibility. Dr. Henry earned many awards throughout his life, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Community from the prestigious National Science Foundation. Pretty impressive, to say the least!

Here's the plan for this week as we start Unit 7: Projectile Motion:

This is our last full week of school for a while, because next week we'll only have three and a half school days before having a four-and-a-half day weekend, and then we'll have other interruptions like the ACT. I hope you have a great week, and as always, let me know if you have any questions!

Week 22: Monday, January 29th – Friday, February 2nd

Welcome to the end of January! This month has really flown by, although I'm sure that having Winter Break, MLK Jr. Day and three calamity days all helped with that. Here's the plan for this week as we wrap up Unit 6:

With any luck, we'll be able to get through a full week without any interruptions as we move into February and one month closer to the end of the school year. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Week 21: Monday, January 22nd – Friday, January 26th

Hello again! Last week was certainly an interesting series of events. I hope you took advantage of your bonus three-day weekend and got some rest and relaxation! This week, we're going to continue our work on Unit 6: Energy Transfer Model:

The weather this week looks to be much warmer and rainy, so I'm hoping we'll be able to get through all five days without any interruptions. Next week, we'll move on to Unit 7: Projectile Motion. Have a great week, and let me know if you have any questions!

Week 20: Tuesday, January 16th – Friday, January 19th

I hope you enjoyed your three day weekend! This week, we're going to expand our understanding of energy by introducing some equations related to it. Here's the plan:

I hope you have a great abbreviated week! As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Week 19: Monday, January 8th – Friday, January 12th

Happy New Year, and welcome back from Winter Break! I hope you were able to take some time to rest, relax and recharge before we get right back into the thick of things. Here's the plan for our first school week of 2024 as we start Unit 6: Energy Transfer Model:

Once we learn how to make LOL diagrams, they'll help us understand energy and how it transfers and transforms, which will make this unit pretty easy. I hope you have a great first week back! Let me know if you have any questions.

Week 18: Monday, December 18th – Friday, December 22nd

We finally made it to the end of 1st Semester! Your exam will be on Wednesday, December 20th at 9:15am in Room 211, so just come to class (on time!) like you usually would after 1st period.
