I moved to Arizona from Ohio in the 90's and attended Arizona State University where I graduated with a BAE and MNS in Physics. I worked for Tempe Union from 2001- 2013, teaching math, physics and chemistry, then transferred to Chandler Unified district in 2013. I teach using the Modeling Method of Physics and a combination of modeling and lecture based physics so that students get a hands-on discovery approach to learning in order to build content knowledge and critical thinking skills. I am looking forward to teaching the AP Physics classes this year and hope to see continued growth in our STEM fields.

 

Below are links to several online resources we will be using for the course this year.

 

 

 

 

Remind is the platform on which I will be sending out class reminders. It is the quickest way to contact me as it appears in a nontracable text on my phone. The Remind messages will also show up on the bottom of this and the Calendar page.

AP Physics C

 

In addition to the on-line textbook, the website  The Physics Classroom is a useful tool for  tutorials, practice questions and multimedia examples of the concepts.

 

We will also be using The Physic Aviary to complete classwork practice problems and lab/data analysis.
