Description
Class Experience
This 4-day class will teach the concepts of Physics including speed, velocity, acceleration, free-fall, gravity and weight. We will watch video clips from the movies The Incredibles, Space Jam and Cars, analyze the motion and use equations to calculate the Physics. Day 1: Speed and Velocity will be taught on day 1. We will discuss what it means to be in motion, that speed is a rate and go over the equation for speed and velocity. Clips from the movie The Incredibles will be shown, and...
Students will learn and calculate the Physics concepts of speed, velocity, acceleration, force, free fall and weight.
I am a certified teacher and have been teaching physics for over 20 years.
No homework will be assigned.
4 files available upon enrollmentThe PDF documents for each day should be downloaded and printed so that the student can work through the practice problems. Students will also need a working calculator.
We will work through the concepts together and the students will be informally assessed.
2 hours 40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Video clips from the movies The Incredibles, Space Jam and Cars will be shown. All of the video clips will be screen shared via the powerpoint presentation I will using to teach the concepts.
