US Grade 8 - 11
Follows Teacher-Created Curriculum
Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
This class will be a high school physics class covering kinematics, forces, and momentum. The class will be structured with 3 classes each week for 50 minutes a period. There will be some presentation, some problem solving and practice, My teaching style flexible with a mix of instruction, independent practice, examples, videos, and discussion Students will interact with me as much as possible. There will be some direct instruction, some discussion, some math practice Students should at...

Week 1Lesson 1Dimensional AnalysisUnit Conversions. Perhaps one of the single most useful skills in scienceLesson 2Vectors and scalarsAn introduction to how we measure distance, movement and time.Lesson 3Simple accelerationHow we measure a change in velocityWeek 2Lesson 4Complex accelerationThis lesson is about combining distance and accelerationLesson 5Free fallFree fall is a special case of kinematics where the acceleration is due to the gravity near the surface of the earth.Lesson 6Review KinematicsReviewing KinematicsWeek 3Lesson 7Introduction to Dynamics: Newton's three lawsInertia, force, weight, and action/reaction pairsLesson 8Simple net forceWhat is proportional to what? Mass, acceleration and forceLesson 9FrictionHow do we start and stop?Week 4Lesson 10Introduction to MomentumWhat is the "quantity of motion" anyway?Lesson 11Conservation of momentumThis lesson is about elastic an inelastic collisionsLesson 12ReviewLet's review
- Students will learn about the scientific method, calculation, models, and basic physics.
- Dimensional Analysis
- quantitative analysis
I am a science teacher with 9 years of classroom experience with tutoring and lab experience prior to that. I have a Masters of Science degree and a Masters in Education degree. I am currently teaching in Washington State and I hold a Washington State teaching license.

This class assumes a basic understanding of simple equations. For example, if a car went 30 meters in 5 seconds, what is the speed of the car?
No sensitive topics, but ballistic motion and collisions will be covered

Teacher expertise and credentials
Washington Teaching Certificate in Science
I've been a science teacher since 2015. I've taught both middle school and high school science, chemistry, biology, and physics. I thought it'd be fun to teach on Outschool because it would allow me to be more flexible with how I teach and what...
