Kinetic energy, mass, and speed investigations NGSS MS PS3-1 CER
These two investigations (GOOGLE and PDF versions) allow students to develop an understanding of the relationship between kinetic energy and mass of an object, and kinetic energy and speed of an object. As students are collecting their own data, it is more understandable compared to being given data to analyze. This activity supports the NGSS standard MS PS3-1A review (or introduction) of some of the key terms such as mass, kinetic energy, speed, energy transformations, and conservation of energ

OpenSciEd 7.1 Bath Bombs Unit- Teacher Notes
If you are new to OpenSciEd or if you're experienced, you know that the teacher manual can be VERY overwhelming. I found it easier to go through the manual and make a BULLETED list of what I actually needed to do/say/cover including the slides. This is my full set of bulleted teacher notes from the Unit 1 Bath Bomb Investigations. Videos are LINKED, word wall words are highlighted and more. Hopefully this is as helpful to you as it has been for me. ALSO check out my other products for this 7.1 U

ENTIRE YEAR NGSS PHYSICS of Standards for Standards Based Grading
This is the document I have used to develop a standards based grading system in my high school physics classroom. If you are trying to launch into a SBG, this would be an excellent place to start. I developed it as part of a Stanford University Graduate School of Education course. These standards are NGSS and project aligned - for each unit there is a set of Project standards (graded in a group) AND a set of Test Standards (graded individually).
