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

Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss
Do you have Deaf or hard of hearing students who don't understand their hearing loss? Do other students want to know more about a DHH student's hearing?
This PowerPoint is great to help your DHH and hearing students alike learn how our ears work, what sound is, and to understand the different types of hearing loss. This would also be great in a science class on the physics of sound or the anatomy of the ear and the physiology of hearing. You may even choose to use it as an introduction to hear
