Is there a forum for NYC physics standards K-12?

AI Thread Summary
A new tutor for 11th grade physics in New York City is seeking guidance on internal session notes and standards compliance, specifically regarding the absence of velocity and displacement in the physical science standards. While the standards cover topics like momentum, forces, energy, and waves, they do not address foundational concepts such as reading velocity-time graphs or calculating displacement. The tutor is looking for resources or forums to clarify questions about NYC physics standards and has been advised to consult the NY Regents or consider using a Regents-focused Physics Review book. Relevant links to New York State standards and additional resources for educators have been provided for further assistance.

I am a new tutor working with students in 11th grade physics in New York City. I am required to keep notes internally on the sessions and the standards that I cover in them; after noticing that the physical science standards don’t include mentions of velocity or displacement as a content area, I am wondering where I can turn for help.

The standards include content for momentum and forces, energy, waves, and mass, but not early semester material on reading velocity-time graphs and finding displacement as the area under that curve.

Is there a forum or resource for questions about the NYC physics standards?

Sequences and series are related concepts, but they differ extremely from one another. I believe that students in integral calculus often confuse them. Part of the problem is that: Sequences are usually taught only briefly before moving on to series. The definition of a series involves two related sequences (terms and partial sums). Both have operations that take in a sequence and output a number (the limit or the sum). Both have convergence tests for convergence (monotone convergence and...
Hi all, I am in the process of adding physics to my teachable subjects, and I have a project due soon where I have been asked to improve upon a Leaving Certificate Physics experiment. The only thing is I haven't actually taught physics yet, and was wondering if any teachers could share their thoughts on the experiments and any challenges you have faced or any improvements you would like to see made to the experiments.
