Investigate Newton's 2nd Law of Motion with PHET Collision virtual lab model
Students investigate Newton's Second Law of Motion using a computer model from the University of Colorado PHET. This simulation allows students to change the mass of objects that collide. This activity can be used as an activator to build knowledge for concepts in physics, physical science, momentum, forces, and F=MA. Students write an open response, using a claim - evidence - reasoning (CER) template. This is an editable .rtf file. You can upload it to Google Docs and share it through Google Cl

Constellations Lab
I was about to lecture on constellations this year and realized that perhaps the students could teach themselves by using Stellarium-web.org, where they can move and manipulate the sky. I created this worksheet/guide for them to follow! It worked great and they enjoyed it. I had to give them some verbal help, but overall it was much more effective than a lecture. You will need computer access for your students, although you could do it as a demo on a smartboard but that would be less effecti
