Level 2 Physics Plans
Shoemaker
2024-2025
Class Goal
Use what you know
to understand what you don’t know yet in order to learn & understand the
bigger picture
These plans are a working document
and are subject to change. Plans are made
for a “quickest possible” schedule. Work
toward the written plan and communicate difficulties.
