The AP B Physics exam is Monday afternoon, May 9. If you've completed the Sunday series of assignments on Modern Physics, you'll have a very light week in physics after the AP exam next week.

If you will be absent from class this week for an AP exam, it's your responsibility to keep up with the assignments. If you will miss a lab period, arrange in advance for makeup.

Lab L19 Interference and Diffraction We'll be working on Parts A and C this week.      
R&R
These items are designed to Review and/or Revise previous work as well as to provide additional problem-solving practice.
R&R APMC1 AP Multiple Choice, Part I Do these practice AP multiple-choice assessments sometime this week. I recommend not waiting until the last minute. These assessments can help identify areas you need to emphasize in your study and equations you need to know from memory. WA S  
APMC2 AP Multiple Choice, Part II WA S  
  Free-response review We've worked on some of these problems in the past. The more free-response problems you can do from past exams, the better.      
You'll take data for L19C on Tuesday. If you're not working on the lab, work on these AP review problems.

Wear lab-legal shoes to class if you need to do lab work.
