Honors Physics Supply Listing

 

Students must have their binders/material supplies up-to-date at all times!  A zero will be given for a day’s assignment(s) if a student does not have the required material on a day for which such is called.

 

1. Three-ring Binder w/ Pocket Dividers    two-inch binder is recommended; however, any type or size will do as long as it is made for 8.5” x 11” sized paper.  The required contents of this binder can be found in your course syllabus.

 

2. Spiral-Bound Notebook   8.5” x 11” college ruled – you may need to purchase more as the year progresses.

 

3. Loose-Leaf Paper 8.5” x 11” college ruled – you should have an ample supply at all times.

 

4. Quarter-Inch Graph Paper           with three-ring holes – you should have an ample supply at all times.

 

5. Pencils (Sharpener)          Mechanical pencils (with sufficient lead supply) are recommended.  You should have an ample supply of traditional pencils to avoid having to sharpen pencils during class – I do not supply a pencil sharpener in my classroom.  If necessary, you should have a small manual sharpener with you AT ALL TIMES. 

 

6. Multiple Report Covers or Three-prong Folders          for the submittal of completed laboratory reports.  

 

7. Scientific calculator          Graphing capability NOT required!  However, if you would like to purchase one for further use in our Upper Mathematics program, I would recommend the TI-84 as it will be useful up through all of our mathematics programs offered here at WCA and far beyond!  

 

8. Classroom Supplies         Guys bring a LARGE box of Kleenex – Ladies bring a stand-up container of pop-up, multi-purpose cleaning wipes (i.e., Mr. Clean, Kaboom, Orange Power, Windex).

 

9. STRONGLY Recommended (but not mandatory):  “Successful Lab Reports:  A Manual for Science Students” by Christopher S. Loban & Marla Schefter; Cambridge University Press; 1992. Available at Amazon com, BooksaMillion.com & BarnesandNoble.com [Barnes & Noble has best price at $17.99]
