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

Ball Toss Projectile Motion Activity - On Level, Trig Based or AP Physics
This is an excellent activity to develop the mathematics of upwardly fired projectiles. It has low error, uses a free app for measuring motion and students must work as a team.Students work in groups of 4 to toss a tennis ball or similar item a horizontal distance of 4-6 meters between them and video capture the event. They then record the time data, measure the toss angle, calculate the vertical and horizontal components of motion and determine the resultant launch speed. It takes students 4

Scientific Method Lab Report Write-up Using Bouncy Balls (with MYP Criterion D)
This is a very fun, hands-on lab to help students go through the process of the scientific method and learn how to accurately write-up a lab report. This could be used as a summative assessment to a scientific method unit, a culminating activity at the end of the year, or as an introductory assessment or review at the beginning of the year depending on the grade level. The focus of the activity is for students to take three bouncy balls and conduct an experiment to see which ball will bounce

Trigonometric Functions on the Graphing Calculator - An Exploration
This activity sheet engages students in studying the general trigonometric equation y = a + b cos(cx) and making statements about the period, amplitude, y-intercept, and x-intercepts. After developing ideas with the cosine function, students make conjectures about similar sine graphs and then make a prediction of how a cosine graph would be changed to produce a particular graph.
