Student Information (Section 3 Analysis)Short-term (class) goals

Long-term (academic/career) goals

Class Goals (Student Info Responses)Better understanding of Physics, and do well do

well on tests, classwork and the regents.

Expand my knowledge of science, and connect it with previous science classes.

Skills that will help me in college or for a job.

Connect what we learn to everyday life.

Enjoying the class, and have some fun labs.

I am expecting this class to be hard, but I want to challenge myself.

If I have any questions or confusion I want to find help.

Academic/Career Goals (Student Info Responses)

Work with kids.Major in Biology because I want to become a

pediatrician. Law or business.Major in English/history/ political science,

etc. to become a lawyer.Major in neuroscience and become a doctor,

because I am fascinated by the brain.Possible job would be "Sports Analyst”.Be a copywriter or a real estate agent.Mayor in business or engineering.

Academic/Career Goals (Student Info Responses)

Something in the science and engineering. Maybe architecture.

To study Science or English.BiologyComputer Engineering and graphic DesignEngineering and math/science.An artist, or possibly a scientist.A doctor or something in the medical or

science field. Another possible job might be in business.

Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Game design, and/ or graphic design.

Lab Report Requirements

Students must be engaged in laboratory activities representing a minimum of 1,200 minutes of hands-on lab work as certified by the principal. Satisfactory written reports of these laboratory experiences must be prepared by the student. Only those persons who have satisfactorily met the laboratory requirements will be admitted to the Regents science examination.

Minimum of 1,200 minutes of hands-on lab work

Turn in lab folder before the Regents exam

Regents Exam Requirement

All Regents Physics students are required to take the regents examination in June. A student who opts out of the Regents exam will be required to take a departmental final on the same day as the Regents. The grade on that final will be factored into the student’s final grade in the course. Students who are absent from the Regents without a doctor’s note will receive a 0 as a grade for the departmental final.
