The Basic 6 - Virtual Sim Intro Motion Graphing (KEY) Physical Science Physics
Students are introduced to graphs of motion by viewing the generation of distance, velocity, and acceleration graphs for six different scenarios. They use a virtual simulation from PhysicsClassroom.com to view the graphs being generated and match the graphs to the correct situation. At the end there is a multi part practice problem for graphs of motion. A full key is included.

Using a recipe to cook with Conduction, Convection, and Radiation
This a 31 slide power point show designed to make conduction, convection and radiation apply to the real life situation of cooking. It does so with a great dose of humor as you can inject teachers' names. The slides are ridiculous, a bit gross, and animated...just the kind of things that kids remember. Project the slides as the kids shout out their favorite (or not) teachers of friends names. Type them into the show on blank lines. Then as you present the show, discuss each heat transfer concept

Electron and Energy Level Modeling Atomic Structure Digital Modeling
In this digital activity, students create models of the first twelve atoms on the periodic table by placing the electrons into the correct energy levels. They then compare the models and classify them as metal vs non metals to make predictions about how the models could be used to predict the behavior of an element based on the number of valence electrons and the location on the periodic table. A great digital version of model creation, students are able to make and analyze their models virtua
