Schedule at a Glance (click here for schedule archives)

M 5/15/00

Last week of class begins. Today we will gather s(t), v(t), and a(t) data using the TI-83 ultrasonic ranger (lots of fun). Unfortunately, it looks as if we won’t be going to the National Air and Space Museum this week, because school groups require a 4-week advance reservation. (We could go downtown and wander around in the museum with no agenda, but you could probably do that more effectively on your own some weekend.)

T 5/16/00

Lecture and calculator activity on uses of the definite integral in statistics

W 5/17/00

Field trip to National Cryptologic Museum at NSA, Fort Meade, MD. Meet at bus loading area next to the gym at 9:00 a.m. sharp. We will leave at 9:05 a.m., so don’t be late. You will be excused from your B, C, D, and E periods if you come on the field trip. In order to avoid an unexcused absence, you must either attend the field trip or work the alternate problem. The alternate problem is a substitute for the field trip and is required even if you have an excused absence, such as an AP exam. If your other teachers give you permission, you can attend the field trip even if you have not already signed up.

Th 5/18/00

Videos and awards ceremony (directed by Riley Soles)

F 5/19/00

Videos (continued). This class is required for those who missed yesterday, but it is optional for everyone else.

F 5/26/00

Final Exam, 11:00 a.m., Trapier Theater. Anyone with a B (or higher) semester average who has already taken the AP exam is exempt from taking the final exam. Seniors with a B semester average are exempt even if they do not take the AP exam. Anyone with a semester average below B must take the final exam, regardless of AP exam status. If you think you might be in danger of having to take the final exam, send e-mail and I will reply with your scores as soon as they are averaged.
