This activity has students sorting speed and acceleration graphs based on the motion of the graphs. This is very successful way to have students analyze the graphs to see that the same lines on a graph mean different things. This lesson really engaged my students as well as address misconceptions about reading graphs. Students recorded their answers on a worksheet that they used as a study guide for their summative. These can be used as flash cards.

Objectives: o Analyze the cause and effect relationship between the amount of water in a bottle and the ease of flipping it to land upright. o Explain energy transformation in terms of the law of conservation of energy. o Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Materials: ● Large container filled with water ● Tall 250ml graduated cylinder ● 500ml (17fl.oz) plastic water bottle with lid. ● Tabletop that is cleared of other materials. Students will attempt the bo

This product has a graphic organizer that compares and contrasts EMS and Mechanical waves. It also comes with a card sorting activity that can be filled out with a venn diagram. NGSS PS4.A and B GSE S8P4 A

The 8 page lab sheet includes the engineer design process with 3 labs Students will design a rubber band car using the engineering design process. ONce they have completed making their car, they will use it to investigate three parts of physics. The first lab is exploring the relationship between kinetic and potential energy. This is done by counting the number of turns of the rubber band and how far the car travels. Students are asked to create a bar graph to show the relationship. They are al

This is a study guide that covers wave properties. Compares mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Students have vocabulary to define, draw and label longitudinal/compression and transverse waves. Also, includes 20 comprehension questions about wave properties. NGSS MS-PS4-A GSE S8P4 A, B, E

Study Guide and answer key. This resource has four parts. First is vocabulary practice. Second part (application) has students read a story problem and then graphs them as distance vs time or speed vs time. Third part is a short answer, students have to read data and interpret. Fourth part is application/short answer questions. Georgia SPS8. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the relationships among force, mass, and motion.

Students will explore distance over time graphs. They will explore, no motion, constant speed, fast constant speed, acceleration, deceleration, and returning to the origin in this activity. Student initially guess what they think the graphs will look like. I have them use marker so they can really see how their learning changes. I have this document set-up to print 2-1 page, which is why the second page says glue on it. I have my student glue it into their science notebooks. Download the Power
