Description
I love using the Crash Course videos in my classroom! They are informative and interesting to students, but sometimes the material goes by too quickly for them or they don't have good note taking skills so I made these notes for them. These notes help students as they just fill in the blanks as the video plays. The notes are in the same order as the video so they only need to focus on one at a time. The twenty answers are already written at the top of the notes to help students spell correctly. When students are done they use their answers to fill out a crossword puzzle making grading their notes a breeze (and also letting them know if they have an answer they need to change!). Review questions at the end of the notes require students to think about the material they took notes on during the video.
This is a great activity for introducing this subject to students or reviewing it. It can also be used as a longer homework assignment or for students who need to make up a class lesson on the same subject. I used these lessons as the make-up lessons for students who were absent or away at sporting events so they could learn it on their own.
These notes are especially useful for sub days - I have yet to have a sub who feels comfortable teaching physics! With these notes a sub doesn't need to have a background in physics to teach the class. They can pass out this activity and play through the video - no math and science background needed!
This is a growing bundle of all of the Crash Course Physics Notes* in my store. As more resources are added the price of the bundle will increase. It currently contains:
Episode 1 - Motion in a Straight Line
Episode 4 - Vectors and 2D Motion
Episode 7 - Uniform Circular Motion
Episode 9 - Work, Energy, and Power
Episode 11 - Rotational Motion
Episode 12 - Torque and the Moment of Inertia
Episode 16 - Simple Harmonic Motion
Episode 21 - Kinetic Theory and Phase Changes
