Gifted Nine Weeks Review

For my gifted class, here is what you will want to be familiar with:

- The types of energy and how they convert to one another
- The forces and qualities that are acting upon an object in motion, both linear(moving left to right) and gravitational (rising and falling)
- The calculations for speed, velocity, acceleration, mechanical advantage, mechanical efficiency, energy, and work
- How simple and complex simple machines can make doing work simpler and what measures need to be taken to ensure high mechanical efficiency
- Be ready to connect energy conversion and conservation, mechanical concepts, and forces in motion.

Do this and you should be able to do well on the exam. For both advanced and gifted students, playing around with Gizmo will not hurt. In fact, I will grant 10 pts E.C. to all who have attempted the Gizmos assessments, plus an additional .5 (half) point per Gizmo assessment with 60% or higher.
