Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Google Slides
Are your students learning about balanced and unbalanced forces? This activity will have your students analyze different scenarios to determine if an object is balanced or unbalanced. Students will also work on calculating net force and determining if an object's speed changes when an outside force acts on it. Add this digital activity to your lesson plans today! For the first 2 activities, students will watch 2 videos that explain balanced/unbalanced forces and work on vocabulary definitions. T

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

Quantum Numbers spdf
I HATED teaching quantum numbers, orbitals, (electron configuration was okay..), but one day I sat down and decided I was going to master this section of chemistry. I wanted a chart that would be simple, straight forward, and eliminate the confusion with figuring out the principle quantum numbers and spin. This is it.I did the first one for the students in an effort to help you explain the process of finding the quantum numbers. I use this worksheet as a classroom activity. First, explain what

Momentum Inquiry Lab - On Level Physics
This short lab (35-45 min) has students collect data on a golf ball rolling across a surface and then data on it hitting a variety of rolling masses. They determine the average velocity of a golf ball down a gentle ramp and then determine the distance, time, and average velocity of a golf ball, marble, ping pong ball, and bouncy ball after the collision.
This is a good activity with simple math. This is probably not appropriate for honors level. I have another momentum inquiry written at tha

Significant Digits Popcorn Lab/Activity
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.
