Free Body Diagrams and Net Force Coloring Sheets
These coloring sheets about free body diagrams and net force are a great way to introduce students to these concepts in physical science. I use these coloring sheet as a low-tech alternative to digital resources for the flipped classroom model. Often students color the sheet and write a summary for the concept as homework the night before a lab that covers the same material the next day. This provides them some basic knowledge to help them effectively communicate about the concept during the lab

Calculating the Net Force in 2D Free-Body Diagrams| Worksheets| Grades 8 9 10 11
This worksheet has been designed to build students’ comprehension of free-body diagrams with forces acting in two-dimensions. Students are shown how to (1) construct free body diagrams; (2) find the resultant force acting on the object of interest using Pythagoras' theorem and arctan (i.e. tan-1); and (3) decompose vectors to find the x and y components using sine and cosine. Explanations are made as succinctly as possible to avoid cognitive overload, while still conveying the essential ideas. A

Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell: Do You Have a Free Will? Copied from Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell: ‘ You may think you have free will and can choose what you do, but this might be an illusion. Your body is made up of particles that blindly follow the laws of physics, with every outcome already predetermined. So, you might not have any free will at all. Is free will an illusion, or does it exist? Which philosophical camp is right?’ Image Credit: Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell Free download in In a Nutshel
