SIMILAR and COMPLIMENTARY ANGLES WITH PARALLEL LINES IN BILLIARDS
This lesson demonstrates to students how a billiard ball bounds around the pool table in sequential similar and complimentary angles AND parallel lines.
7th - 12th
Geometry, Other (Math), Physics
GEOMETRIC FIGURES IN BILLIARDS
This lesson shows students all the Geometric figures which show up on a pool table and formulas to calculate areas, volumes, etc.
7th - 12th
Applied Math, Geometry, Measurement
COLORS VS HEAT AND LIGHT ABSORPTION
This lesson shows students HOW lighter colors reflect and darker colors absorb heat with various colored billiard balls out in the sun.
7th - 12th
Engineering, Physical Science, Physics
TANGENT ANGLES AND CAROM DEFLECTIONS
This lesson helps students understand the concept of "Tangents" and shows them how two billiard balls travel after they impact (collision) one another.
7th - 12th
Applied Math, Geometry, Physics
VECTOR ANGLES BETWEEN BILLIARD BALLS
This lesson shows how "vector" angles can be projected-anticipated during collisions of billiard balls
7th - 12th
Algebra 2, Physical Science, Physics
THERMAL EXPANSION COEFFICIENT OF BILLIARD BALLS
This lesson demonstrates to students how materials (billiard balls) when heated and cooled expand and contract.
They will learn to use tools such as calipers and graphs to show their results.
9th - 12th
Algebra, Applied Math, Physics
Distance - Velocity - Acceleration Calculations
This lesson teaches students HOW to use the Distance, Velocity and Acceleration formulas for Physics in a very practical sense... shooting a billiard ball from end to end on a pool table.
9th - 12th
Algebra, Applied Math, Physics
DISTANCE - VELOCITY - ACCELERATION CALCULATIONS IN BILLIARDS
This lesson allows the student to see and understand how the Distance, Velocity and Acceleration of a billiard ball can be calculated using Standard Physics formulas.
9th - 12th
Algebra 2, Applied Math, Physics
X-Y-Z (3D) Billiards
This lesson shows students how to "jump" the cue ball up over another ball. It shows that Billiards is not just a 2D game.
An actual video lesson is also available AND a YouTube reference lesson.
9th - 12th
Geometry, Other (Math), Physics
CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM IN BILLIARDS
This lesson shows and demonstrates how the law of Conservation of Momentum is exemplified on a billiard tables as balls have collisions.
7th - 12th
Applied Math, Physical Science, Physics
FRICTION "THROW" BETWEEN BILLIARD BALLS
This lesson shows students the concept of friction and how it affects the play in the game of billiards.
7th - 12th
Applied Math, Physical Science, Physics
BILLIARDS - STATISTICS
Students will weigh and measure billiard balls and determine statistics from a sample size of 15 balls. A pool table is not necessary for this lesson.
A free worksheet is available upon request from author.
