PHYSICS
STUDY GUIDE (Grade 12)
INSTRUCTION
1:
Study, understand and practice solving exercises from University Physics 13th
Edition. Specifically, study “Students, learn how to” for my
quizzes are related to it. Example, the word “use” or “apply” means using a
formula or a principle to solve something, “explain” means discussion, etc.
Expect quizzes everyday of the following week when I return.
INSTRUCTION
2: 3-5
members per group only. Create a summary report per topic based on your
understanding. It must illustrate depending on how it wants you to understand.
Example, “Relate..” then discussion must show a relationship between variables
regardless of a formula is involved, discuss the formula then! Place your
summary report on a (colored) folder with fastener: STEM A (red folder), STEM B
(blue folder) and STEM C (violet
folder). Refrain from plagiarism with classmates’ reports, books or net
sources!
OTHERS: Long bond paper and folder, font
type: Arial or TNR, font size: 11, Single Line spacing, Margin: 1 in. on all
sides and with neat illustrations and diagrams (hand-drawn or not) when
necessary in the topic and with page number. (1% minus under Organization if
does not follow instructions)
RUBRICS (100%): Content: 40%;
Organization: 30%; Neatness & Readability: 15%; Punctuality: 15%.
To be submitted on September 22, 2017!
