Teaching Free Body Diagrams? Use this inquiry based guide to allow students to discover how to draw and interpret Free Body Diagrams and how they relate to Newton's Laws. Students will start with an example that will gradually release students from a guided approach to a free inquiry approach. This resource is best used as a guided inquiry teaching tool. Students will eventually be able to: Draw Free Body DiagramsDescribe Balanced vs. Unbalanced ForcesRelate Free Body Diagrams to Newton's LawsWh

Teaching Motion? Have students demonstrate their learning with these activities that will allow students to interact with the material. This resource consists of 2 activities: Match The Motion! Match The Graph! Match The Motion:This activity consists of multiple cut-out cards that students can match together. A great inquiry resource, students will need to match a kinematic questions to the appropriate kinematic equation used to solve that question. Students will also match the position time gra

Teaching Newton's Laws. Use this inquiry based guide to help students ask the right questions! This guide uses a fictional planet for students that helps students release the fear of "being wrong". Students will compare the motion of objects on the fictional planet to the motion on Earth as a means of "discovering" Newton's Laws of Motion. Students will then be granted a scenario that they must explain using the 3 Laws of Motion. Why Inquiry?Telling students what's right skips over the process w

Teaching Projectile Motion? Using this resource allows students to learn projectile motion with the goal of "programming" a robot to the appropriate specifications to score a basket by shooting a basketball from the free throw line. Using this guide, students will build upon their knowledge of kinematics and trigonometry to "perfect the code" of their robot. After completing this resource, students will be able to: Define the variables of motion in vertical and horizontal directionsSolve for the
