This test is designed for upper-level high school Physics classes (AP or Honors) and provides a summative assessment on Kinematics in 1 and 2 Dimensions. It requires students to demonstrate both conceptual knowledge and computational skills. Major topics covered include Kinematics in One Dimension, Independence of Vertical and Horizontal Motion, Vector Addition and Resolution, Projectile Motion (launched at an angle and horizontally), and Graphs of Motion (Position, Velocity, Acceleration). T

This test is designed for upper-level high school Physics classes (AP or Honors) and provides a summative assessment on Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation. It requires students to demonstrate both conceptual knowledge and computational skills. Major topics covered include Centripetal Force and Acceleration, Motion in a Vertical Circle, Friction and UCM, Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, and Circular Orbits. This product includes three versions of the test. Each test contains 12 mul

This test provides a summative assessment on Force and presents a nice balance of questions requiring conceptual knowledge and computational skills. Major topics covered include Newton's Laws of Motion, Net force and Mechanical Equilibrium, Friction (Static and Kinetic), Mass vs. Weight, Atwood problems, Free-Body Diagrams, and Terminal Velocity. This product includes three versions of the test. Each test contains 17-18 multiple choice/select an answer questions along with 7 word problems re

This test provides a summative assessment on algebra-based Kinematics in one and two dimensions. Major topics covered include Velocity and Acceleration in One Dimension, the Independence of Horizontal and Vertical Motion, Vector Addition, Projectile Motion, and Graphs of Motion. The focus is more on two-dimensional motion overall, since my class would have already quizzed on Linear Motion previously. Although there are plenty of conceptual questions, math features more prominently on this tes

This quiz is designed for upper-level high school Physics classes (AP or Honors) and provides a summative assessment on Work and Energy. It requires students to demonstrate both conceptual knowledge and computational skills. Major topics covered include Work and Power, the Work-Energy Theorem, Energy (Kinetic, Gravitational Potential, and Spring Potential), Conservation of Energy, and Energy Loss due to non-conservative forces. This product includes two versions of the quiz. Each quiz contai

I developed these notes (8 pages long, or 4 front-and-back) and their corresponding assessments while teaching a chapter on Fish in my Marine Science class for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The chapter is from our textbook Marine Science: Marine Biology and Oceanography (Third edition) by Thomas F. Green. A few notes on each part of this download: Guided Notes:I would use a Smartboard if I had it, but I make do just fine with projecting these notes on my whiteboard to present th

This Bundle contains two types of Force Quizzes that I use together as a summative assessment for my Force Unit in AP Physics 1. This includes three Free Response Quizzes focusing on computational skills and three Multiple Choice Quizzes focusing on conceptual knowledge. Topics covered include Newton’s Laws of Motion, Mass and Weight, Friction (static and kinetic), Forces in Equilibrium, Vector Resolution with basic right triangle trigonometry, Terminal Velocity, and Net Force with Graphs of M

This quiz is designed for upper-level high school Physics classes (AP or Honors) and provides a summative assessment on algebra-based Straight-Line Kinematics. It requires students to demonstrate both conceptual knowledge and computational skills. Major topics covered include Distance vs. Displacement, Average vs. Instantaneous Velocity, Relative Motion, Graphs of Motion (Position and Velocity), Motion with Constant Acceleration, and Free Fall. This product includes three quizzes, all similar

This quiz provides a summative assessment on Force and presents a nice balance of questions requiring conceptual knowledge and computational skills. Major topics covered include Newton's First Law, Newton's Second Law, net force and mechanical equilibrium, common types of forces, mass vs. weight, and a brief crossover question with Kinematics. Newton's Third Law is not included, as I generally give this quiz about halfway through my Force Unit before I cover it. This product includes two vers

Don't settle for a word search - give them a challenge!This crossword is a great way to have fun introducing a unit on Fish, Marine Biology, or the Ocean. Each clue has two parts - first, solve a general knowledge or pop culture clue, then find the fish name hidden within the answer. When I give my classes this assignment, I let them form groups and make a competition out of it. To adjust the difficulty level (as-is, the puzzle is pretty tough) you can add or remove "given" letters, or chang

This quiz is designed for upper-level high school Physics classes (AP or Honors) and provides a summative assessment on Force, with a focus on multi-step free response questions. It involves a heavier emphasis on computational skills, but also requires students to write coherently about physics principles, justify answers, plot graphs, and design an experiment. Major topics covered include Newton’s Laws of Motion, Mass and Weight, Friction (static and kinetic), Forces in Equilibrium, and Vecto

This quiz is designed for upper-level high school Physics classes (AP or Honors) and provides a summative assessment on Force with a focus on multiple choice questions. It involves a heavier emphasis on conceptual knowledge and applying physics principles. Topics covered include Newton’s Laws of Motion, Mass and Weight, Friction, Forces in Equilibrium, Terminal Velocity, Vector Resolution and Addition, and Net Force with Graphs of Motion. This product includes three quizzes, all similar but e

I developed these notes (8 pages long, or 4 pages front-and-back) and their corresponding assessments while teaching a chapter on Marine Mammals in my Marine Science class for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The content is broken down into sections on Whales, Seals and Sea lions, Sea Otters, Manatees and Dugongs, and Polar Bears, with a short bit at the end about the Diving Response in mammals. The chapter is from our textbook Marine Science: Marine Biology and Oceanography (Third

I actually developed this crossword puzzle while teaching a Marine Science unit on the geology of the ocean, but it could easily be given in any sort of Earth Science class or unit, possibly even as a first-week-of-school activity. As I like to do with all of my puzzle/competition assignments, I have included several non-academic clues along with the more traditional ones, just to keep students engaged and excited. Editable and printable versions are included, as well as a page describing how
