Physics and Engineering Project Bundle
Here are all the projects that I do with my Regular, Honors, and AP Students. Each project comes with worksheets that are differentiated depending on your level of student. Each of these projects can be done without any calculations, however it was intentionally made for students that have a basic understanding of physics, algebra, and geometry. Every year these are the projects I provide to my students who often tell me that physics has become their new favorite class!Here is the Material and E

When my students struggled with accuracy and precision and just plain fought me about writing values with units and significant digits, I knew I had to do something. This activity works! When students are done, they understand why we write values the way that we do and why significant digits or figures are so important. There's some laughter too and a lot of that early in the year grumpiness vanishes.
