Here is our class schedule for this week:

Begin Science Fair Background Research

8.1 Torque
Torque Worksheet. Show your work. Answers are given.

8.2 Angular Momentum
Angular Momentum Worksheet. Answers are provided. Show all work on how you get there.
If this is too complicated, you may use the Alternative assignment: http://orbitsimulator.com/Physics5/Worksheet%20angular%20momentum%20Solutions.htm
Explain each step. What is happening?

A few definitions that may help:
L=angular momentum
L=Iw
I=rotational inertia
I=L/w
w=angular velocity
r=radius
KE= Kinetic Energy
KE = 1/2 M v2
M=mass
V=velocity
(odd looking) T= tangential force​

San Tan’s annual Gifted Testing event is approaching quickly! 

If you are interested in having your child tested for giftedness, please complete the digital Parent Request Form, along with the $50 Co-Pay, linked below.  Gifted testing is will be offered in mid. February.   Once a child is identified as gifted, they do not need to retest.  Gifted testing will begin in mid- February.

  • If your child is currently in a gifted class and identified as ‘provisional’ they will automatically be retested, you do not need to send in the recommendation form. : -)
  • Gifted Testing Requests are due no later than January 12th of 2022.
