Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Rotational Inertia of a Roll Of Masking Tape Lab - Honors or AP Physics
Determining the Rotational Inertia of a Roll of Masking TapeThis activity is designed for Honors or Advanced Placement Physics and can be done with nothing more than ordinary lab equipment - meter sticks, a balance, and an inclined plane (I use foam core science fair boards) and slow motion video capture software. I use Technique Hudl as an app. It’s free, easy to learn and collects data beautifully but you can use any slo-motion app you'd like or even use a stop watch though your data won't be

Projectile Motion Video Analysis Jericho Missile Iron Man
Students love this activity and it changes how they look at movies and at the physics in film. Video analysis is a powerful tool in a physics class and your students will look forward to the next one.
I created this teacher driven activity around a short clip from the first Iron Man movie that is available on YouTube. You can use this in any level of physics class where students use the sine, cosine and trig functions, even if they aren’t very good at it. Because you drive the analysis, thi
