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 projectile motion or 2-D Kinematics. Students will figure out for themselves conceptual problems involving projectile motion. They will get a basic idea of how projectiles move while discovering mind-blowing concepts. Everything is fully editable.

Students will:

- Learn through play

- Have guided questions to direct learning

- Discover concepts based on Projectile Motion

- Have a tangible understanding of Projectile Motion

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.
