What types on new content would you like to see added the PhysicsLAB?

• I think maybe something to show how well or bad you are going in the class
• I'd like to see the AP essays from home and maybe some past quizzes (if the people will approve the copyright thing).
• labs and videos would be nice
• none ( 8 )
• The site is fine the way it is.
• being able to do homework on the computer
• more video presentations, more vocab worksheets
• More animations to help learn the specific topics
• all of the information I need to know
• PhysicsLAB contains all of the programs I hope to use
• Nothing, I think it's great the way it is
• I'm not sure.
• More videos
• I think that if some physics related games such as crossword puzzles were added, then students would look foward to visiting the site because they could have fun while reviewing for class.
• more examples and solutions to problems instead of just teaching the concepts.
• Interaction with students from other schools and make coopertive learning with students from other schools!!
• If I were not graduating this year, I would like to see a webinteraction with other schools taking the same class.So I could talk to people from other states and could getinformation when I am not in class.
• There really wasn't anything that I needed for the course that wasn't already given to me on the site.
• I would like so see games added--not games like solitaire and freecell, but physics games that challenge you and require
• more communitative skills with other physics students around volusia county.
• Grade checkup more often
• I know of nothing at the moment
• More Labs.
• everything is already pretty good
• More examples
• Better graphical interface
• Let's see. This is a hard question. Some games when subs are here would be nice. :-) I'd like the browser's to stay unlocked, so we can work on ISTF stuff. :-)
• extra credit once a week
• assignment reviews that show the answers to past assignments.
• Maybe a little chat room so students can help students.
• I would, honestly, like to see more examples of class work.. step by step
• Links to physics related sites
• A way students could talk to each other on the computer from different periods or even on the same one.
• it's fine now
• More equations and practice problems, hard so that I can study and do good on the tests.
• More videos or physilet aminations.
• Can't really think of any. Mrs. Colwell is the physics god.
• i believe that the current functions of the physics lab are adequate, but if Mrs. colwell believes that adding additional capacities to the physics lab i believe that her judgement is entirely justifiable ... as an ntelligent student i do not need as many recources as a more needy student
• It was very well rounded but I would like to see an activity that should ask questions but e-mail and such.
• The PhysicsLAB page seems pretty good as is. Perhaps adding a review page for upcoming tests and quizes would work well.
• The content that is presented int the PhysicsLAB provides me with a sufficient amount of information.
• More animations of labs and theories of lessons that need to be better interpreted
• Nothing new, really... Well, maybe a homework chat sort of concept for at-home people... But having your email is like the same thing.
• icons
• I think it would be neat to have some sort of game for us students to play but that teaches us something also so that way it can be more and more people would find about it.
• I like to see more examples of how to do problems with either homework or for upcomming quizes.
• I would like to see more of the hands of activities because there should be more labs for us to do.
• I would like to see processes leading to some of the equations thought, that way one can understand all aspects of the given problem
• More worksheets and practice problems.
• I like the Physlet animations
• More group/interactive activities.
• Special effects
• PhysicsLAB covers just about everything you need to be able to pass this course, I see no changes need
• More fun activities that didnt involve a grade being given, but just to help better understand the lesson
• ?
• More labs
• More pictures
• many many more labs... they were always really informative and a fun way to learn
• Special effects
• I would like to see more animated diagrams added to the physicslab.
• More examples and review pages
• I would like to see is the activities of the year on the home screen.
• Interacation with other physics students/ teachers around the world.  Access to a worldwide, multilingual physics-specialized database.  Nicer design; not this bland looking browser; and storage space for our books and folders when not used.
• I really dont know but maybe interactive web page games that help with the topic your on
• I would like to see a chat room type thing where students can talk with one another about physics!!
• More hands-on activities, like labs.  They make the learning fun and easier to understand.
• More visuals and a little easier to understand.
• more movies
• online help
• animation, sound
• More visual aides
• More interaction with the computer, but not as many drawings, etc. it is easier for me to see something done for me, then to see it already done on a computer.
• i am satisfied with rhe way it is. i wouldn't know what to change. but i can always help with the art work/design :)
• All of the pictures and animations were good.  You can never have too much.
• more videos and animations
• Icons (ask Paolo) :) ...I don't really know what else. Everything that I need seems to be there already.
• Answers to AP essays, less worksheets, easier review materials (less explanations, more of the basic things we need to know)
• More conceptual worksheets with cartoons and animations
• The answers and some examples for the homework problems.
• The answers to the homework we do out of the book and maybe even the solutions so we don't have to waste much class
• I would like to have seen just in time used more.  I really enjoyed it last year. It was great interaction.
• I think that the PhysicsLab already contains adequate activities and content to be very useful to all students.
• DVD and sound clips
• More resource lessons explaining things to the students in detail.
• computer graphics or intractive activities that relate to what we're studying hardwarechanges:
• "It's fine as it is."
• I would like to see sample practice test, so that at home you could take a sample test and recieve a grade, and then you can go back and see what you missed, so that you would know what you need to study more for on the real test in class...
• Pictures and brighter colors
• Games
• don't know if any at this time.
• I would like to see pictures
• interactive games
• Possibly a physics database
• interactive demonstrations
• A chat room for help wih homework.
• A daily short quizz that shows you what score you make but doesn't count against you, just kinda challenges you a little and can generate mild, friendly competition among the students. ( Hey! I got the one that NIck missed! I got a higher score than Todd, I finally got them all right! and it could count just for daily points and EC on special occasions.

What hardware changes or upgrades would you like to see done in the physics lab?

Would you like to see more student participation in the creation of the PhysicsLAB? (Be specific!)

• Yeah they could type in stuff to make it less stressful on the teacher or do the sites for their class
• I think Mrs. Colwell is doing a great job on the site (although I think she spends too much unappreciated overtime, the solution <in my opinion> is that she should get PAID FOR OVERTIME) and I think students should help.
• no thanks Mrs. Colwell is doing just fine.
• no its wonderful
• Yes because we could put web designs and other animation type graphics on the site.
• Yes I think that students should be allowed to help Mrs. Colwell create some of the worksheets.
• Yes, student aids should come in to help because she stays too late.
• Yes, I feel that all Physic classes should use it even if not taught by Mrs. Colwell
• Yes and no,yes because I think it would be neat to do all this stuff and no because it shouldn't be required(if it ever was) because personally I don't think I would find time to do it. I think you should if you want to volunteer in helping doing it.
• no
• Well, it depends on what the student knows. Maybe they could give examples that relate to the things we do, but really it doesnt matter, the example that mrs colwell gives are fine.
• I think that students like to be part of creating something so useful, but all students aren't interested in the production of the site.
• No not really
• I would like for there to be more student involvement in the order in which we learn our lessons and the way they are presented to them visually.
• yes a student's perspective would be nice.
• Nope! Mrs Colwell is doing a far better job than i could ever do!! : )
• I think that students that have used this program beforewill or could come up with better ways to use the site.
• I guess it would help student get excited and really into the course by it being more hands on.
• I guess I would because it would be different to see what students thing about the topics of physics and see how they would try to teach that topic on the web site.
• Yes, because I think it would give students a chance to be more familair with computers as well as having fun with physics meaning learning wise.
• Yes..If the students helped to create it then they could use it more easily
• Not on my part
• Yes ( 7 )
• In computer classes
• No oppinion
• Well, considering Mrs. Colwell already asks me to help her with part of it, I'm going to plead the 5th on this question.
• Yes because then they will learn more and achieve better grade
• It doesn't really matter to me.
• that would be nice.
• No comment
• yeah, maybe if the students become more active we'd all be more firmiliar
• Neutral
• Yes I think students would no more about what we want
• Yes because it helps in the long run
• Sure, if they have ideas that they would be interested in.
• No ( 8 )
• Maybe some improvements on the examples, but other than that I enjoyed the way it looks now.
• I think it would not hurt to have kids help. But I don't think it is necessary. It would be more beneficial to the student helping so he/she could learn not so much physics, but how the whole web system works.
• no it is completely understandable and interactive
• I think that this class was very productive, but i don't think ebough people used it at home.  Also that more schools use this type of technology.
• Yes, learning and understanding the website may be easier for a student to understand it created partly from a students poing of view (not implying that it was difficult)
• I think it's doing well with just the teacher's input.  I don't really think it's necessary.
• I like the system the way it is; some people prefer to work along, others with more people, so the question is a toss up in the air; I prefer to work with other people.
• Yes, in tutoring and making suggestions
• Possibly more involvement in a homework section?
• No, students have enough to worry about with just learning the physics aspect of it
• yes i think the more student the better because the more input from student the more students will understand because we all pretty much think alike.
• It would be nice if students could give their opinions and suggest that there be certain examples on the site.
• Yes because they can tell the teacher what they want to know mroe about the interest of the students are the most important key.
• No, I think the teachers are doing a good job, students are dumb.
• I would like to more input from the students so that they could incluse all fo the things that i don't understand/know.
• Yes, get the imput of the students, add what they need most help in understanding and they things that they have hard times with.
• Yes I would love to see the integration of a student based commitee into the creation and improvement of the PhysicsLAB internet site.
• Yes, have group discussions about what should be different.
• yes, it will give them an upper for future us of any other special program as this
• yes, because only students know what other students care about, so maybe more students would pay more attention
• Its good now
• no,  I'd rather not
• Yes, I think student input would allow some of the diagrams and worksheets... easier for us to understand
• Yes.  More math students need to be involved in the physicslab.
• No I like it the way it is
• Yes I would. The students would give ideas that would give a student idea of a web page.
• Yeah.  Who said that a fresh idea ever hurt.  We are, currently, the main users of the site and the way it looks is putting me to sleep.  Let us design the looks and you do the technical setup of the sight.
• yes, i think that students shouldhelp cause it teaches them how to make web pages and how to use the internet.
• Yes, because students will know what they would like to see.
• No, it's fine they way it is.
• Yes, students would be able to put it in plainer English.
• yes , because it could teach the students a little more information.
• I would like to see students have a say in how the information is presented. Ex. (Visuals, links, etc.) But I feel the information should be handled by the teacher.
• I believe that there is enough as it is
• It might help if students helped to create it, because they might be able to describe the information more clearly
• No, Mrs. Colwell does an excellent job setting up the web site
• well, i think student imput is good, and i am always willing to help out.
• Sure. Maybe some students can help Mrs.Colwell to do some of the web pages. This can be helpful for her as well as a learing experience for us
• No, Whoever is doing it is doing a fine job
• No, I want to see what the teacher has to say, not somebody elses words
• no, I think it is fine the way it is.
• Well, basically just for the creators to acknowledge the requests and comments of the students. I don't really have any specific ideas.
• yes! ASI students
• Yes, I would like the students to be able to tell put solutions to the homwork problems that they found difficult into the computer when they have a correct answer. Because i have found that usually the majority of the students have problems on the same questions.
• No, because I think that teacher has a better understanding and knowledge of the site and should create it. I feel it would be more hectic if students tried to create it because they all have their own opinions and have to work on a compromise which would take time up from creating the site.
• I think that if students want to/ have the time to give to that, then yes, maybe then other will understand better if one of there fellow classmates were there to explain to them.
• I feel that the level of student involvement is totally up to the instructor. If she prefers to do it alone or would like to have more help it is up to her.
• yes the more opinions the better.
• Yes because the students are the most important part and their opinion and suggestions should effect the physics lab
• "Sure, why not."
• Yes, by doing research on a lab and present it
• I feel like it was good the way it was this year
• Yes I would I think it helps kids learn and it has more visuals to help you on tests and to exel
• yes. maybe we could get some of those computer genuises to write some good programs, or to program some of them interactive games
• Sure why not?
• no, I think Mrs. Colwell does a fine job at it and I like it just the way it is
• Yes, this course could also teach students about computers, something necessary to take the course, as well as for the real word. Additionally, if some good techies were found Mrs. Colwell could focus more on teaching and less on programming for the site.
• Sometimes, I think it would be cool if one Honors Class helped make test questions for another and vice versa. And have artistically gifted students contribute diagrams to certain lessons or something.
• Not really ( 4 )
• yes, have the students create the format of sites
• Yes, I would love to see students become involved in creating the PhysicsLAB.
• Student may have more inovative ideas on things such as set up and the wy content shold be presented to be more eaily understood
• I would like for Mrs. Colwell to not emphasize it so much and use it as main factor in teaching. It is very important to have a physical teacher, and while yes, the physicslab is useful, and I do love computers, these things are going down more often than they're up. There was a lot of wasted time trying to get the web site to work, so I don't think that everything should be solely based on the web.
• Yes because lot of kids know how they like to learn and could suggest ideas
• It might be helpful to have an area where students could post their questions, and then have a teacher answer them.
• Yes, I feel that students might be able to offer a more student friendly lab sight
• Yes, the more people use the program the better they can understand physics
• oh yes...I feel that if students helped create PhysicsLab, then other student would be more responsive.
• Acutally, yes I would like to see more student particapation because some students be skipping when in the real world physics is every where
• nope. generally, students don't know what they're talking about.
• No, not inparticular because I would rather want the teacher to do it. She knows what she is doing
• Yes. I think with a student's help, understanding would be on a student level.

What was the most difficult aspect of the class this year?

• Doing the AP essays
• I think when it came to actually taking the tests it was hard when I didn't have a partner. This doesn't by any means mean that I don't want a partner for quizzes it means I want a partner for the test too!
• individual testing was grueling
• the tests ( 16 )
• The tests were a little difficult. Taking tests or quizzes with another person really helped improve my grades.
• learning all the new stuff
• kinematics ( 2 )
• taking test without partners
• The tests! The PhysicsLAB helped me a lot because in preparing for them because I can look back and review.
• notebook checks
• The test were always challenging. And there was alot of memorizing stuff.
• memorization
• I feel that the most difficult aspect of the class this year was taking Intr@net quizzes with another partner. I don't think that it was fair that you would study and they didn't but we both made the same grade. I don't believe that those that try should be punished for those that don't.
• homework!!!!!!!! ( 3 )
• I would have to say the lack of knowledge from the students on the PSL Program, this slowed down production when doing this type of a lab.
• The most difficult aspect of the class was just learning the material. Physics is a tough subject but I think the have the site helped a lot with the learning process.
• I don't think Physics was very difficult. how-ever, it was a little difficult because I took Chemistry also.  I think I might have done better if I took only one science.
• Nothing, it was a theral and complete learning process witch I grasped rather quickly.
• Remebering all the equations
• Long Class Notes.
• Mirrors
• Completing homework when Mrs. Carlin assigns a 10-page report to do. :-)
• some of the tests and quizes had some "traps" that I fell into alot.
• When you miss a day, and trying to catch up all the work.
• the paper tests we're sooooo hard!!!
• No other than those of other classes
• tests, quizzes ( 4 )
• the unit on projectiles
• Remembering to do the homework.
• although the internet quizes tend to be tricky i believe that the most difficult part of the class was the tests
• The computers and teacher lessons prepared me for all of the tests, but I wish there was a site outside the classroom you could get help
• The individual paper tests.
• Being paired w/ an incompetant partner for a quiz
• Keeping up with the mathematical aspect of the class, because i am currently in trigonometry.
• Sometimes when i was absent, i would go to the lesson if there was one taught the day before, and found that just by looking at the site, it wouldn't necessarily teach me the content.
• All of it, i didn't understand the majority of it.
• Keeping up with all the assignments in the notebook... my fault, of course.
• the information
• keeping up with homework but that was primarily my fault but learning the formulas and how to use them gave me a few rough times.
• Trying to keep up with all of our labs and classwork.
• I enjoyed all of the aspects of this class
• The ability to ajust from watching a screen to watching a rambling teacher then to a onerous test
• Learning the things befor we moved on to the next section. I would just be getting the gist of it, and we would change
• The most difficult aspect of class this year was dealing with the people who did not pay attention.  They were very distracting
• It wasn't the homework, it might have been the First Semester Exam.
• Physics as a whole.
• Writing too many notes
• Nothing for me
• the computer can't explain everything that a students needs to know, it can't answer questions
• Tests, not quizzes, tests
• Not coming to class
• a lot of the work was really confusing...I wish we could have covered less but for longer so we could have grasped all the info more
• Notes
• Nothing in this class was hard to understand. It always helped me.
• The teacher was too busy sometimes.
• the most difficult aspect of the class was when the connection to the server is down and Mrs. Colwell gets headaches trying to figure out how to get it working. Mrs. Colwell is a good teacher and she don't need headaches. So I thing as I said before the connection to the server should be direct for the class
• Probly the paper test because we were so use to the partner internet quizzes.
• Catching up when absent.
• The lesson on waves
• Understanding the terminology.
• remembering to do homework
• Taking notes
• tests in which the questions were not explained in the class w/ the teacher.
• Trying to study for tests. The resource lessons do not provide an accurate depiction of what will be on the test. It would have been easier to have a paper copy of the lesson.   The computers are very distracting.
• the written exams
• Absence
• Memorizing all the formulas
• doing labs.... they require more work than I think they are worth.
• Probably the tests that we took. But then again, they prepared us better for what we would see on the actual AP test, and they were given in the same timed manner.
• Having to know the subject the night that we learned it in order to do the homework on time for the signature
• AP Exams at the end of the year but Mrs. Colwell has prepared us to the best of her abilities She is wonderful!
• The most difficult aspect of the class this year were the days when the server was down or when we could not access the site for one reason or another, azll usually resulting fromt he county server being down.
• Some of the homework and quizzes we took on the site.
• Completing all of the AP essays at the end of the year.
• I felt that the tests were the most diffucult aspect of the class. The reason for this is that I did not always put 100% effort into preparing for them and did not always take full advantage of PhysicsLab resources.
• Remembering all my equations.
• Quizzes were challenging
• Trying to keep up with all the work
• equations envolving free fall etc.
• "It was all fairly easy"
• I think that the most difficult aspect was learning The different Projectiles.
• Taking the computer quizzes and staying awake after being full from lunch
• No comment
• Keeping up with the homework.
• The most diffulult were the test on paper
• Memorizing annoying physics formulas
• labs
• Mrs. Colwells trickily worded multiple choice quizzes and tests.
• Well, I've never been the methodical, organized type so the whole notebook thing threw me off, as it always does in any class. But, the notebook element of a student's grade is a perfectly fair and reasonable thing so I can't complain much. I just need to learn how not to lose stuff. I mean, it sounds so easy, just put the stuff in a notebook and leave it there, but somehow that magic doesn't work for me. I've tried it but I still find my English homework in my math folder weeks after it was due, and sometimes my Physics stuff ends up in my Sunday school folder and -- you never know what kind of surprises to expect. But that's just me. ;o)
• Tests and quizes
• Understanding the concepts and applying them.
• Quizzes and tests
• n/a
• Exams
• the tests were very difficult
• Making up work when you missed a day, that you can't put up on the site.
• All the formulas
• Homework. I don't feel there were enough examples of how to work the equations given in the resource lessons to successfully answer and comprehend the homework.
• Trying to make up missed class work when the server was down
• Showing up and giving it my best, with all the other classes I need to pass often found my self staying up too late and if the other classes had computers i could have been ready sooner
• Because I was sick so much, I missed a lot of class, but the Physics Lab kept me up to date for the most part, however, I still had questions that required a teacher's answers.
• learning about kinetic energy
• homework, tests!
• Kinematics
• Bookwork ( 2 )

What was the least difficult aspect of the class this year?

• Performing labs and worksheets.
• Working the computer
• Waves ( 2 )
• doing worksheets on the computer
• Doing quizes on the computer, because you had two braisns to work with.
• the interactive worksheets
• The least difficcult was the homework i guess. the labs werent that hard.

• The least difficult aspect of this class was listening and follwing directions.
• Group Q&A worksheets.
• The site allowed me to see what the class did when I was out for a trip for chorus or drama clsses.
• The least difficult aspect was probably how easily you could navigate the site. It was very clear and concise. I feel a person who had never used a computer or the internet would have been able to understand the site.
• I think the kinematics equations was the least difficult.
• Working with others on test and quizes.
• N/a
• Doing homework

• Probably the essays (sometimes) because they were always about the material we had gone over in class that day, and most of the time, the ones we had trouble with, we went over anyhow.
• Quizzes
• Getting access to things done is physics class daily to keep up the with the work.
• Studying for test was so easy this year. I am not organized at all but the website was so organized that i could go back to practice worksheets and see which ones i did not know then go to the resource lessons and study those things.
• Accessing the site from home and school. I thought it was cool when I first did it from home (I am not much of an Internet person).
• Nothing really was easy, but i guess the book work
• Completing daily assignments was the least difficult aspect of the class. Mrs. Colwell was always so helpful in getting us through even the most difficult problems. The resource lessons that I accessed from home also helped if there was a concept that I did not fully grasp in class.
• The ability to check up on my work when i was absent.
• Worksheets
• Knowing what the assignments were
• labs (not all)
• "Again' it was all fairly easy."
• I think that the least difficult lesson this year was the mirror reflection lesson.

• Worksheets online
• Labs cause it is easy to learn from them
• Accessing physics lab
• Labs. They are usually pretty self-explanatory.

• actually getting to use the skills I have learned in upper level math courses
• Physics Olympics
• My favorite aspect of the class this year was doing the various labs. I also enjoyed the lesson on converging and diverging lenses.
• the labs ( 16 )
• I never have had the interation with the internet before, and this gave me the chance to prepare myself for the real world before leaving and going off to college.
• My favorite aspect of the class was probably the group work. It helped a lot with being able to work with people and listening to everyone elses ideas instead of just your own.
• I liked doing labs

• The different labs we did this year and more examples on the web site that was helping in the actual comprehension of the materials.
• The demonstrations
• Experiments.
• Mrs. Cathy Colwell
• taking quizzes with a partner because you dont feel as nervous because you have two brains working instead of just one I tend to get more nervous working alone.
• Being able to look up vocabulary and specific examples on the site.
• My favorite was the waves and patterns and frequencies
• The ability to challenge another student when taking a test so that one can weigh answer options
• Physics olympics
• My favorite was helping Mrs. Colwell as best that I could
• group quizzes
• Mrs. Colwell
• making an A, because of the PhysicsLAB
• labs with friends
• all the computer work...I liked all the work being done on the computer. You can pull up resource lessons to aid in your studies of a worksheet that way you don't have the chance to lose lessons that were on paper.
• Easy access to the assignment on the web page. The class was easy to understand.
• Mrs. Colwell how she care about everyone and spends hours of her own time to get this class going. I also liked group work.
• The partner internet quizzes
• Working in groups on labs.
• Doing my work on the computer
• interaction of everyone in the class on labs and assignments in which the teacher assigned a random partner, or partners, and the people got to know each other.
• Learning why things so the things that they do
• I enjoyed the computer interaction, for the most part
• Seeing the laws worked out through labs
• Mrs. Colwell
• Group labs ( 2 )
• Seeing visual aggects for things you can't normally see, such as wave lenths
• internet quizes
• The relaxed environment I think. The fact that we were taught the lesson, then given time to work on the computer and take our own notes, and if we needed help, we simply asked for it. Plus the after school and weekend review sessions were extremely helpful.
• The food offered during the review sessions especially the spagettie. Also Mrs. Colwell enthusium.
• I really enjoyed Mrs. Colwell's wonderful teaching and I enjoyed the fact that most everything she said was on the computer
• The Drill and Practice because they got me ready for the AP Test. I also love my teacher, Mrs. Colwell. She has a great understanding of Physics and was always around when I needed help.
• Using the computer, I really enjoy that our class is the only one based on the computerU
• Mrs. Colwell's teaching and her willingness to take time out of her busy schedule to hold review sessions after school and on Saturdays.
• The computer quiz that gives you your score right away.
• group work
• Working on froups to understand things and get them done
• physics olympics and labs
• "That would be Mrs. Colwell."
• My favorite aspect in class this year was when we did the lesson on Kinematics.
• Mrs. Colwell and physics. Not to mention the physics Olympics at DBCC and all of those great labs.
• Having an energetic teacher
• The labs where you work with partners.
• I enjoyed useing the computer, and do the labs as well as spending time with your lab partners to help you learn more
• Labs and out of classroom activites
• labs
• Getting to use computers daily and learning about Microsoft Frontpage. The Frontpage was more ISTF than class
• The classroom is roomy and I get to sit at a table on a stool of whatever height I choose, depending on availability. I could sit tall one day and have my nice barely reaching the table the next. And I have leg room. Man, do you know how frustrating it is to be 5'11" tall and have to be confined to a desk made for short-to-averaged height people in cramped, but neat, rows with nowhere to stretch your llegs? By Jove, it's awful, your knees are jammed up to the underside of the desk-part, you know, and you'd love to stretch your legs in the aisle, but...
• Doing physics things on the physics lab.  Also, physics loympics was great.D
• Mrs. Colwell.
• the computers
• Choosing partners to take quizzes and do labs.
• labs were very interactive
• The group work.
• The teacher, the labs, physics olympics, and the knowledge I gained.
• Having Stacey Smith and Nicole Fuller in here with me. Notebook to give you a chance to finish your homework eveni f it isn't signed.
• Hands on labs/activities
• Working groups for labs and tests
• I don't really like physics, I'll try to learn it and I'll do my work but I don't find it too fun.
• Mrs. Colwell.  My far she made this class worth taking fot the students.
• Learning at a understandable rate.
• I loved working in partners again this year.
• weighing masses and changing them to kilograms
• I liked the labs early in the years
• Mrs. Colwell's explanations and examples on the board
• the teacher is the bomb
