I have taught in NYC, Austin, Dallas and most recently New Jersey. I have designed curriculum for Physics, AP Physics, Biology, and Engineering. I have over 20 years of teaching experience.
This is a complete lesson designed for a 1.5 hour class. The lesson is an introduction Rotational Inertia (moment of inertia) and also covers how angular acceleration and net torque are related. This lesson is designed with the AP Physics 1 test in mind but can be used for any physics class. Powerpoint with videos of solved solutions, definitions, worked example problems gifs etc.Cornell style notes with follow along blanks, and practice problems along the wayGroup or individual style practice
In this lab students will gather data on the horizontal velocity of a projectile and show that it does not change as it is flying through the air. They will calculate the horizontal velocity of the projectile while on a table and then compare it to when the projectile was in the air. The only materials you need for this lab are some kind of projectile (marble, tennis - ball etc.) and a makeshift ramp. You can use CPO timer equipment if you wish or a simple tape measure and timer.
This lab is a guided inquiry lab where students learn how to take experimental data and verify an existing equation.
The only materials needed are a piece of sting, a mass (anything), a place to hang a pendulum from and a stopwatch (I use cell phones).
This lab take about 1.5 hours and requires a lot of critical thinking on the students part.
The lab forces the student to examine the equation, figure out which variables they can measure (independent and dependent) and then use algebra to rea
This is a complete lesson designed for a 1.5 hour class. The lesson consists of: Powerpoint with animations, gifs, definitions, worked example problems etc.Cornell style notes with follow along blanks, example problems etc.Group style practice problems complete with teacher solutionsexit quiz for the students with solutions
An interactive powerpoint complete with animations and great diagrams and pictures are coupled along with notes that are already set up for students. Notes are missing pieces so students follow along but not missing so much that it takes too long. There is a two page worksheet included and an exit quiz with three versions.
Lesson time: 90 minutes
Topic: Refraction of light and Snell's Law
Powerpoint with notes
Cornel style notes to follow powerpoint
practice sheet
exit quiz
java simulation and 4 minute video clip to explain refraction of light.
Please watch the .ppt in show mode so that the animations work correctly.
This lab is a guided inquiry lab where students learn how to take experimental data and verify an existing equation.
The only materials that are needed are small springs and some mass to put on them (http://www.arborsci.com/springs-set). You will need to know the spring constant of the spring.
This lab take about 1.5 hours and requires a lot of critical thinking on the students part.

Physics Topic: Faraday's law, electricity and magnetic interactions.
Materials: Magnets, magnet wire, batteries.
Included: Powerpoint going over Faraday's law electricity magnetism and the left hand rule, two page lab over the interaction between a current carrying wire and a magnetic field, cornel style notes over the topic.
You could do the lesson without the lab but it would be very short.
Topic: Sound and wave types Lesson duration:1.5 hours Target audience: 10-12 grade (basic algebra) Lesson format: powerpoint with provided Cornell notes, teacher examples and then student practice. STudent worksheet as well as Exit quiz included. Materials: tuning forks (optional) Texas TEKs: P.7A: examine & describe oscillatory mo on & wave propagate on in various types of media. P.7B: investigate & analyze characteristics of waves, including velocity, frequency, amplitude, & waveleng
This is a lab that I put together where students actually create very small simple motors. The lab requires small magnets, magnet wire, paper clips, batteries and alligator clips.
There is a video tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it_Z7NdKgmY
Time: 1.5 hrs Topic: Resonance in a closed pipe Materials: large pipes, smaller pipes, tuning forks, meter sticks I use a 3ft section of 2" pvc and a 3ft section of 1.5" pvc as the pipes. You can buy this at Lowes / Home Depot, have it cut there and buy PVC glue and caps to cap one side. Whole setup for 9 sets cost me around $50. Lesson: The powerpoint explains how the lab works and walks the students through some example calculations. MAKE SURE you watch the ppt in slideshow mode so the ani
The following is a powerpoint presentation that has many animations built in and places for talking points about SHM. The Cornell style notes follow along and by the end of the lesson the student has a complete set of notes on SHM and some example problems to guide them through the the included worksheet. There is also an exit quiz included for the end of class
This is a complete lesson over Coulombs law and electrostatic forces for AP Physics 1. The lesson consists of a powerpoint that has example problems that are worked for you with embedded videos. The students follow along with their Cornell style notes and work practice problems and there is an included exit quiz. The powerpoint has video's where the examples are worked for you (delete them if you like) and plenty of GIFS to show how electrostatic forces act between objects. The Lesson should t
