Class experience
US Grade 7 - 10
Beginner Level
This is a five week class designed to prepare students to excel in a future high school physics course. The class consist of five 90-minute face-to-face sessions and assigned Minds on Physics© game modules played outside of class. Minds on Physics© functions as homework for practice and assessments for feedback. Students and parents will receive weekly progress updates. Access to a one-year subscription for Minds on Physics© is provided for all students. Face-to-face, synchronous learning,...
Part 1: Motion
The Big Idea: An object’s motion can be predicted, analyzed, and described.
• vector and scalar quantities:
— addition and subtraction
— right-angle triangle trigonometry
• uniform and accelerated motion: graphical and quantitative analysis
• projectile motion: 1D and 2D, including:
— vertical launch
— horizontal launch
— angled launch Experience High School Science Teacher, Lee’s Summit West High School, LSR7, Lee’s Summit, MO 2017 - 2022 High School Science Teacher, Olathe Northwest High School, OPS-USD233, Olathe, KS 2012 - 2017 High School Science Teacher, South Mountain High School, PUHSD, Phoenix, AZ 2008 - 2012 Middle School Science Teacher, Northwood Junior High School, NSSD 112, Highland Park, IL 1997 - 2008 Education Loyola University of Chicago, Chicago, IL Masters of Education in Administration and Supervision May 2003 Roosevelt University, Chicago, IL Masters of Arts in Teacher Leadership January 2001 Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, IL Teacher certification program; secondary (6-12) science teaching certificate May 1997 Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ Bachelor’s of Science in Environmental Microbiology, minor in Chemistry; April 1993 Certifications and Endorsements Illinois: 6-12 secondary general science and biology, middle school endorsement, co-teach sped science Arizona: 6-12 biology and chemistry, ESL endorsement Kansas: 6-12 biology and chemistry Missouri: 6-12 physics, chemistry, and biology
Homework Offered
Homework will consist of Minds on Physics Modules assigned based on content presented in class that week. Students are able to engage with the platform as much or as little as they desire. The more time and effort put in, the better your understanding, giving you a greater opportunity to access during your for credit HS physics course.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
