Course Description At the start of the course we will finish our investigation of electricity with a final unit on alternating current electricity. Now that we have investigated the basic kinds of forces and energies present in nature, we will apply these studies to the properties of various forms of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and learn more about the statics and dynamics of these materials, particularly in the manner that energies are converted from heat to motion and back. Goals/ Expected Learning Outcomes
1. Students will apply past experience to new problems, attempting to solve problems and do proofs with more independence than before.
2. Students will take more responsibility for organizing and presenting laboratory results. 3. Students will use new information to think creatively, both for problem solving and analysis of the physical world.

Course Description
M6 English for Careers is a course designed to prepare M6 students for university and their future careers. In the first
semester, the course will focus on self-evaluation of personality, skills/abilities in order to help the students learn more
about themselves as individuals . Additionally, the students will conduct research on university faculties and/or careers
which interest them. Once they have a better idea of who they are and what they plan to study/do in the future, we will
then work on incorporating what they have learned into three main areas: 1) Writing a Personal Statement, 2) Writing a
Resume and 3) Practicing Interviewing Techniques . Lastly, some time will be allotted in class to provide an overview of the
major standardized exams, i.e., GAT/PAT/O-Net and SAT and the students will be given opportunities to take practice
versions of these exams.
