Description
This product is a complete, no-prep, 1-2 day lesson that can be used with your AP Physics C students. Lesson contents are aligned with the AP Physics C curriculum objectives. This product is also part of the AP Physics C Curriculum Bundle and the Oscillations/Simple Harmonic Motion Unit Bundle - each of which includes additional resources for physics teachers.
Specifically, this lesson discusses This product is a complete, no-prep, 1-2 day lesson that can be used with your AP Physics C students. Lesson contents are aligned with the AP Physics C curriculum objectives. This product is also part of the AP Physics C Curriculum Bundle and the Oscillations/Simple Harmonic Motion Unit Bundle - each of which includes additional resources for physics teachers.
Specifically, this lesson (1) provides an intro to types of pendulums, (2) describes a simple pendulum, (3) discusses the simple harmonic motion and energy relationships that relate to a simple pendulum, (4) discusses factors that affect the period of a pendulum, (5) identifies the restoring force, (6) explains the small angle approximation, and (7) ends with a discussion of how to determine the acceleration due to gravity at a given location graphically by linearizing data.
This lesson covers everything students need to know about this topic and includes an instructional video, guided notes, homework or practice assignment, and answer key. Check out the preview to learn more!
How can this product be used?
SAVES YOU TIME: Save time by using the pre-made PowerPoint slides, guided notes, homework assignment, and key. (Use the corresponding instructional video(s) to review content and/or see how I explain each slide.)
SUB PLANS: Tell students to bring headphones or earbuds. Have students watch the instructional video, complete guided notes, and start homework in class for a smooth and productive sub day.
ABSENT WORK: Post all content in your LMS for students who are absent. In many cases, students return to class with all make-up work complete!
FLIPPED CLASSROOM/PACING: If you need to pick up the pace, don’t finish something in class, or use a flipped classroom model, assign video and guided notes as homework. This leaves more class time for processing activities and AP Classroom work.
YOU NEED A BREAK: Sometimes you just need a break! Treat today like a sub day and have students work independently. They like the break too and enjoy working at their own pace. Perfect for a short lesson or a Friday!!
BUILD COURSE IN LMS: Organize your LMS by unit. In each unit folder, post all lessons and corresponding content – video links, guided notes, homework assignments, keys, etc. Open folders as needed for easy access year after year. (Create and post a separate document that functions as a calendar – displaying what you did in class and the homework for each day. This is the only document that needs updated each year.) Work smarter, not harder!
My goal is to use my expertise to save teachers time and energy and to help students learn and love physics! I hope you find this resource helpful.
