First we used Plickers to grade last night's suggested homework, then the rest of the period was yours to work on the Coefficient of Static Friction Lab.
The only homework is to finish that lab if you didn't finish in class. I would like to check it while you are completing the Newton's 2nd Law Lab on Monday/Tuesday.

Friction on an Incline
Today we went over Friction TIPERs #3, then we did a problem together on the board:

The rest of the period was work time. You could have worked on your suggested homework, p.118 #39, 43, 51, and/or the pre-lab for the lab you'll be doing tomorrow, Coefficient of Static Friction Lab.
Tomorrow we will do one Plickers for the suggested homework, then you will have the rest of the period to do the pre-lab and lab. In previous years one period was enough time to complete all of that.

Incorporating Friction into Newton's 2nd Lab Problems
Today we first went over Friction TIPERs #2. Then we continued the notes from last class, doing two story problems that included friction.
I decided not to give additional homework, so Friction TIPERs #3 is the only thing to work on tonight. We'll go over it tomorrow.

Newton's 2nd Law Lab + Force Test Practice
Today you completed the Newton's 2nd Law Lab. This will be due after Fall Break, but if you finish it early I can check it early. You will not be turning it in - I'll just check it in your notebook.
I checked the Coefficient of Static Friction lab from Friday. This is due today and if you don't get it checked it will severely affect your quarter grade.
You received either a missing assignment report or a grade report today. Missing assignments can be turned in after break, but if you want them on your quarter grade you need to turn them in no later than Wednesday.
Finally, you picked up the Force Test Practice and Forces TIPERs #4. I don't want either of those back - they are for your practice only. Below is the key for the practice test but I cannot post the key for the TIPER online because it is copyrighted. The key is in class.
You will have a workday on Wednesday and your test is Thursday.
Force Practice Test Key:


Below are some videos I made a few years ago. They might help you with some of the problems, but keep in mind that these might not perfectly match your practice test and the grading will probably NOT be the same.
#1
This one is like #2, though it is solving for something else
#3
#4

Coefficient of Static Friction Lab
Today you completed the Coefficient of Static Friction Lab. Your homework is to finish it if you didn't finish in class. This should be completed entirely in your notebook. - have me check it next week.
We will also be doing another lab on Monday/Tuesday: Newton's 2nd Law Lab. You might want to at least read through this before class.

Lab: Energy of a Bouncing Ball + Work Due to Friction Problem
Today we first completed a 20 minute, multiple choice quiz over first quarter content. Then we did a problem together (see below) and finally worked on the lab Energy of a Bouncing Ball.
Your homework tonight is to finish your lab and also complete Energy TIPERs #5 (email miss.volkening@gmail.com for a copy), due THURSDAY. Warning: Energy TIPERs #5 is not easy, but we do have a little time on Thursday for help, so please do not stay up all night stressing about it. You have the PSAT on Wednesday; please focus on preparing and resting for that.
Here is the problem solved with numbers:

And again without numbers first:

Forces Practice Test
Today we first used Plickers to do about five review questions together. The rest of the day, plus Wednesday, will have unstructured work time to prepare for the Forces Test on Thursday. You are getting extra time for this test because I don't want to start a new unit before fall break and I also because I presume you will have tests/quizzes/projects in many of your classes this week.
I did put out Friction TIPERs #4, but you will not be turning this in. It's an optional extension activity that you can check with me or check on your own using the key in the key binder at the back of the room.
So, here is your practice test:

Today we first went over Friction TIPERs #4 and traded papers to give feedback. That does not need to be turned in.
p.117 #30 & 51
+ complete the pre-lab for our lab tomorrow: Finding the Coefficient of Static Friction
Later we did one practice problem that combines friction and inclined planes, then you started on your homework:
