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.

is a spring? How
do springs work? What
does a graph of F vs. x look like and what does it mean? Video: This
video was created for Level 1 on a day that I wasn’t in class. This would be good to watch if you miss class, or just wish to try to grasp the material a little
better. HW Where
are springs used in your daily life? |
