Description

Simulation by PhET Interactive Simulations, University of Colorado Boulder, licensed under CC-BY 4.0. This is a simple inquiry-based lab that I love to give students as an intro to Dynamics (Newton's Laws.) Students will figure out for themselves conceptual problems involving Newton's Laws. They will get the basic idea of how Newton's Laws work while discovering mind-blowing concepts. Everything is fully editable.

Students will:

- Learn through play

- Have guided questions to direct learning

- Answer questions based on Newton's Three Laws

- Be a part of real-world applications for Dynamics

This resource is the perfect supplement for teaching forces and motion. My students enjoyed the three simulations (Net Force, Motion, and Friction). The directions and questions are very well written. Seeing the forces and motions on the Phet Lab is very helpful for the visual learners. Thank you.

The students love using the simulations. This was a great way to reenforce Newton's laws and provide multiple visual that can be recreated several times.

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.
