Description
A projectile motion introduction lesson for high school physics with fill in the blank notes. Students will learn the characteristics of projectile motion including the deflation, force acting, acceleration, and independence of x & y. It also introduces the three types of projectiles covered in this unit: horizontal, vertical, and projectiles at an angle.
Vocabulary: projectile, trajectory, range, negligible air resistance.
Includes: fill-in-the-blank guided student notes, warm-up, exit ticket, homework and unit pacing guide.
✩ BIG IDEAS OF LESSON ✩
- A projectile is an object that only has the force of gravity acting on it.
- Since there are not forces in the x-direction, projectiles do not accelerate in the x-direction. They move with a constant velocity.
- Gravity accelerates projectiles in the x-direction at -9.8 m/s/s.
✩ SPECIAL NOTE✩
- I teach these lessons using a document camera because I find it to be most engaging for students. I do intend to go back and add PowerPoints to all of these lessons for those who teach with Powerpoint.
✩ Projectile Motion Unit Suggested Pacing ✩
Part 1: Horizontal and Vertical Projectile Motion
Day 1: Introduction to Projectile Motion Stations
Day 2: What is a Projectile? Notes
Day 3: Vertical Projectiles Notes and Free Fall Scavenger Hunt
Day 4: Horizontal Projectile Motion Lesson Notes & Horizontal Projectiles Color By Number
Day 5: Horizontal & Vertical Projectiles Lab (using your schools lab equipment)
Day 6: Horizontal & Vertical Projectiles Quiz
Part 2: Projectile Motion at an Angle - Optional Add On
Day 7: Projectile Motion with Angles Notes
Day 8: Projectile Motions Task Cards
