This is the entire NGSS Motion & Forces Unit from my classroom PLUS the tests and with the standards I used for Standards Based Grading in my own High School classroom.

This is a project based, standards based graded unit that covers basic Velocity, Acceleration, Graphing, Kinematics and then has students making cute animations on google slides and graphing their character's motions on google sheets. Super fun and the whole thing is pretty engaging! Students usually enjoy it and are more eager to accomplish the math!

After they complete the animation, they then use their animation to identify forces, work through Newton's Laws, and learn to calculate freebody diagrams culminating in a freebody diagram of one moment in their animation.

Fun examples such as:

- Calculate Speed in the 1994 film "Speed" to determine if the Bus should've exploded when it made the jump!

- Calculate Acceleration of a Tesla on the Autobahn!

- Calculate the Stopping Distance of a car before it hits a Deer! How fast does your reaction time need to be to save the Deer's life??

- Animate a car crash, rocket launch, roller coaster, etc using realistic physics in google slides, you can even get the slides to auto play and include sound!

- Identify forces in fun Gifs and Videos

- Calculate the force of The Force (Star Wars)
- Calculate Freebody Diagrams of spooky, slippery, fricitonless characters like Jack Skellington and Wednesday Addams

There are also free links to resources I used listed in the slides, but did not create myself.
