What's included

4 live meetings
4 in-class hours
Homework
4+ hours per week. Homework is asynchronous and students complete as many of the assignments as desired. The more work attempted the more success one will find in their upcoming physics course. All participants receive a subscription to the Minds on Physics program from The Physics Classroom.
Assessment
The Physics Classroom assignments are self-paced formative assessments providing students with instant feedback and the free subscription provides reports on progress.

Class Experience

Beginner Level
This is a five session 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, will be an inquiry-based discovery of physics concepts through the creation and analysis of visual, graphical, and mathematical models. Experiments will be designed and data will be collected through virtual web-based interactives. Google Sheets will be used to create graphical models of data collected. Students will present the models to each other for peer review, then test the models for their predictive abilities. [This process meets the curricular competencies of: questioning and predicting; planning and conducting; processing and analyzing data and information; evaluating; applying and innovating; and communicating.] Students will be supplied with resources to explain and support the physics concepts developed and tested during the inquiry portion of class time.

Homework and Assessments of Understanding will be done asynchronously through the Sudden Death (for credit) mode of the Minds on Physics©  application (MOPs).  Test it out by clicking on this link:  https://www.physicsclassroom.com/mop/Kinematic-Concepts/Scalars-and-Vectors/Mission-KC1

Learning Goals

Part 3: Collisions, Work, and Energy
  Big Idea: Energy is found in different forms, is conserved, and has the ability to do work.
Inquiry Questions:
   • What is meant by “different forms” of energy?
   • What is the relationship between work, energy, and power in a system?
   • How are momentum and energy conserved within a system?
Content:
   • Energy is found in different forms and can be transferred between forms.
   • The conservation of energy in closed systems
   • The connection between work, energy, and power
   • The conservation of momentum in collisions and explosions
   • The impulse-momentum change theorem
