Mr. Foley
\n2017 – 2018 Semester One
\nfoleyd@dearbornschools@gmail.com<\/p>\n

Welcome to Physics!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this course, we will be studying everything from the motion of a football to the path of the moon, from the energy of rollercoasters to the optimal way to shoot a basketball, and so much more.\u00a0 To succeed in this class, you will need to practice critical reasoning skills, as you evaluate what you see in front of you.\u00a0 You must participate and ask questions daily if you hope to learn this semester.<\/p>\n

Although this course is conceptual in nature, a basic application of mathematics will be necessary in order to analyze and predict behavior.\u00a0 However, understand that a calculator is not a substitute for your brain.\u00a0 In Physics, every number means something.\u00a0 More important than calculating answers, ask yourself, \u201cdoes this answer make sense with what I expect?\u201d based on your own life experiences.<\/p>\n

You have a lot to offer to the class; don\u2019t sell yourself short.\u00a0 Physics isn\u2019t always about having the right answers but understanding why and learning from each other!<\/p>\n
