Beginner Level
This class will be part 2 of a middle and high school physics class The class will be structured with 2 classes each week for 45 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 There will be some direct instruction, some discussion, some math practice We will be doing some scientific notation, and basic algebra. Students shouldn't feel the need to have already mastered this since it will be taught in class, but it'll be an expectation. We'll also be perusing some of the NASA databases for asteroid info.
Learning Goals
Students will learn some basic rocket science.

over 6 WeeksLesson 1:
Conservation of Momentum
My Lesson is about changes in motion due to a collision (overlaps with My Physics Part 1 course). 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Impulse
My Lesson is about change in momentum. We can compare this with force. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
Work and Energy
My lesson is about work and what it means in physics, what energy means, and how we can transfer energy from one form to another. 50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 4:
Power
My Lesson is about the rate of work done in Watts. Learn why Horsepower is a ridiculous unit of power. 50 mins online live lesson
