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

Exploring Light and Lenses: Laser Classroom Activity #
In this activity students are introduced to and explore gelatin lenses and lights. They use cookie cutters to cut gelatin into concave and convex shapes. Students shine lights through their gelatin shapes. Students observe the effects of passing light through gelatin lenses. Students repeat their explorations, changing the shape or orientation of their lenses, or a combination of both. Students record their work for each combination of light, lens, and lens orientation, making drawings of an

AP Chemistry 9.1 Intro to Entropy Guided Inquiry Investigation Teacher Guide
This is the teacher guide that accompanies a guided inquiry investigation for AP Chemistry standard 9.1 Intro to Entropy. Students use the statistical definition of entropy as the number of microstates that correspond to a particular macrostate. Students use several different statistical models to draw conclusions about the relationship between entropy, statistics, temperature, diffusion, and states of matter. Teacher notes and answers are written in red.

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).
