Analyzing a Vertical Jump: Kinematics Lab Activity

Description

This hands-on laboratory activity challenges your students to apply their understanding of kinematic elements and equations to complete an analysis of a simple motion scenario: a human jumping vertically.

This activity can be used as an engaging skills practice or formative assessment depending on the needs of your 7th - 12th grade science students.

This digital resource includes:

Teacher's Guide: outlines suggested laboratory protocols, tips for implementation, and possible methods of document distribution (digital and/or print)

Student Handout: includes pre-lab questions, procedural guidelines, student data table, and helpful kinematic equations -- all fully editable based on your students' needs

Sample Results Page - Teacher Use Only: contains answers to pre-lab questions, sample activity results, and step-by-step problem solving techniques

NGSSHS-PS2-2

Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system. Emphasis is on the quantitative conservation of momentum in interactions and the qualitative meaning of this principle. Assessment is limited to systems of two macroscopic bodies moving in one dimension.

NGSSHS-PS2-1

Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. Assessment is limited to one-dimensional motion and to macroscopic objects moving at non-relativistic speeds. Examples of data could include tables or graphs of position or velocity as a function of time for objects subject to a net unbalanced force, such as a falling object, an object sliding down a ramp, or a moving object being pulled by a constant force.

NGSSHS-PS2-4

Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. Emphasis is on both quantitative and conceptual descriptions of gravitational and electric fields. Assessment is limited to systems with two objects.
