Do you want your students to apply the concepts of force, acceleration, impulse and momentum to real world scenario? Do you want them to see actual data to determine forces during collisions? This is a perfect activity for you. Students will analyze crash test graphs (acceleration vs time) for four different car seats. They will determine maximum accelerations. Then will apply Newtons second law of motion to determine the forces experienced by a crash test dummy in each of the four car seats. T

Restorative justice converstation starter cards. These cards can be used to start a reflective conversation with a student who was misbehaving or causing some sort of a disruption in class. The questions or sentence starters on the cards guide the students to reflecting on their own behavior, impacts of it on other people and themselves, and thinking about a solution for moving on or repairing the harm done. Print, cut, and go! Hole-punch and make a lanyard or place these cards on a binder rin

Do your students struggle with radiometric or Carbon dating? This activity is an engaging way to introduce the concept of dating to your students. It relies on a concept they already understand - popcorn popping in the microwave. Included in this package: - Student handout - Beautiful Task Cards - Teacher Answer Key

Differentiated stations for physics students to engage in understanding the reflective properties of mirrors. Students practice angle measurements using protractors, as well as angle estimations by sight. Examine image formation in flat mirrors. Compare incident and reflected rays. Read science text for comprehension. Draw ray diagrams. Compare and contast regular and diffuse reflection. 9 stations. Protractors are needed for students to engage in some of the tasks.

6 beautifully designed work stations on the concepts work and power. Skills involved: - Reading comprehension - Graphing - Mathematical analysis - Working with equations - Selecting and interpreting data All stations include an answer key in the PDF.

Educator and student talk moves to get the discussion moving in the classroom. Print, cut and holepunch to place on a lanyard or a binder ring for easy access. Give one to the facilitator or make enough for all the kids to have.

Quiz 10 minute assessment or homework for physics students to demonstrate their understanding of projectile motion. Answer key included.

In this activity, students will develop a computational model of the energy flow of United States. Students will do this by working in pairs to use clue cards to input data into the visual energy flow diagram on their handouts. They will then use algebraic thinking to complete the missing information in the model. After developing their model, students will write a scientific explanation or argument on one of three prompts. The writing is scaffolded using the Claims-Evidence-Reasoning-Rebuttal

Differentiated station activity for physics students to develop their knowledge and skill of dealing with electrical currents. 6 station pages with teacher instructions are included.

This is a 10 minute ranking task to assess student understanding of scientific notation as applied to scale or size of astronomical objects within our universe. Includes: * 2 versions of the quiz (regular + modified) * Answer key * Paper saver 2 per page format. Common Core and NGSS Aligned: MS-ESS1-3 Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.
