Qs Compendium

The Next Generation Science Standards come alive with three dimensional learning, and this format keeps those dimensions at the forefront of planning. This lesson plan spreadsheet allows for streamlined selection of NGSS Standards for each lesson as teachers plan weeks, units, and eventually the entire year. With drop down menus for DCIs, CCCs, and SEPs, date upon a double click for relevant cells, and an easy to use google drive compatibility, teachers can plan ahead, keep track of progress, an

Content warning: preview video by Derek Muller at Veritasium to determine if the language is appropriate for your setting. He does get hit by pennies, and some strong language may be considered offensive by some. Utilizing the true value of Mythbusters, Veritasium, and classic questions about falling objects, this question set allows the 22 minute long video to be peppered with gathering data, forming hypotheses, making predictions, utilizing equations, comparing units (calculations are m/s, v

Simple Gravitational Potential vs Kinetic Energy Worksheet with linked engaging video makes kinematic and energy equations come alive.

These questions allow a video game to be a gateway to how physics works. They introduce students to an acceleration kinematic equation, and the fundamental idea that when rockets are decelerating, they are actually speeding up in the opposite direction. With color coded variables, this updated resource can be a good scaffold for any student who still struggles with the idea of plugging in numbers from a word problem into a formula, and guides them through the process step by step.

A simple introduction to kinematic equations using the classic video game Lunar Lander, students will be able to identify the frame of reference, compute acceleration, and calculate one dimensional displacement through guided problem solving.
