Fundamental physics laws and formulae in robotics, middle school, high school
This document represents a classroom presentation on the fundamental laws of physics and mechanics that are applied to robotics. The presentation is done at the middle school to fresh in high school levels which means no calculus in the formulae and the formulae and a little simplified to illustrate practical concepts. A couple of activities / assessments are also provided at the end. It is a useful document that can cover intro into robotics activities for 1-2 classes.

Additional biographical information
I've been teaching K12 CS and Engineering for 4 years now and I love it! In a previous life I was a corporate software engineer and I occasionally taught Higher Ed as an Adjunct.
I have a structured but creative approach to teaching coding with an emphasis on project based learning and thinking outside of the box. Creativity, innovation and self confidence are always encouraged.
