WIKISPACES What is a wiki? A wiki is a website to which I can add files and links to sites that we can use for class. Our wiki for conceptual physics can be found at: I’ve created usernames and passwords for each of you.

THE LABORATORY  Proper lab procedures/ safety will be explained fully  Students and parents will be required to read and sign a safety contract.  Absolutely no horseplay or irresponsible behavior will be tolerated.

 On the first offense, students will be removed from the lab, receive a zero, and have to write a formal statement including the offense and its correction before being admitted to the lab again. Parents and administration will be notified.  If there is a second offense, the student may be permanently removed from the class.  These standards MUST be strict in order to protect our students, equipment and school.
