Teaching Trigonometry to your physics class can be tough. We can't always assume students have this background knowledge by the time they get to you. This Inquiry-Based Guide will have students up and running by allowing them to slowly connect the concepts of triangles with 2-d motion. Students will start by identifying the sides of a triangle. Students will then apply the trigonometric functions and finally will solve for the unknown variable. Now with a PowerPoint Guide!Teaching through the gu

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
