Creativity in Mind

I used this at the end of my Motion, Forces and Energy Unit. While I have accumulated marble run sets over the years in order to have six lab setups, I have also used pipe insulation and marking tape (with books and ring stands) in the past. Or, you could purchase one set (about $25-$40) and include this as a station in a larger review setup. It was HIGHLY engaging and students loved it, yet at the same time, they stopped to make all necessary calculations and observations. Prior to the lab, we

This project is the piece de resistance of my high school physics course! I've used it for a classroom observation as well as a district-level Staff Development Day presentation. Students design a project to showcase their knowledge of projectiles launched at an angle. This has always been a very challenging topic for students, but after completion of this project, they know it inside and out! Students design, carry out and then present (both orally and with a scientific poster) on their experim
