Roller Coaster STEM Model Building Contest Project for Engineering and Physics
This project includes 6 sections including research, exploration, design, build, showcase, and reflection. It takes students step by step through designing a functioning marble roller coaster with a theme and building it. It comes with multiple rubrics to grade each section and a set of reflection questions at the end. This project can be lengthened or shortened by requiring more detailed projects. When my students did this project, it took about 10 days to make detailed, functioning rollercoast

Conceptual Physics Curriculum Map (Periods Schedule)
This spreadsheet provides a suggested sequence lesson sequence based on how I have designed my curricular materials. This resource can serve as a planning document that allows you to schedule tentative assignment and assessment due dates, and help you pace your units based on your actual school calendar. This calendar assumes you meet every day for class and is based off of my anticipated 2020-21 school calendar year.Every unit follows a close iteration of this sequence:1. Anchoring Phenomena2.
