Need to gauge your pupils' understanding before the lesson begins? A base assessment includes short answer and drawings to determine pupil knowledge. Advanced assessment covers vector addition.

Its a dog's world! Using a vector in standard position, pupils model the path a dog takes to different items in a dog park. The individuals use the interactive to find the magnitude and direction of the directed line segment.

Students describe motion by the use of adding vectors. They identify the difference between the x and y components of vector quantities. Students are given the Paper Bridge Building handout and the instructions as to where to perform...

May the mass times acceleration be with you. The presentation covers forces, Newton's three Laws of Motion, momentum, and vectors.

Direct your class' attention to directed line segments. The interactive resource allows pupils to create segments with specific endpoints. Scholars plot the initial and terminal points to determine the direction and magnitude of the...

In this math worksheet, students draw two vectors u and v based at the same point. The vectors are considered neither parallel nor orthogonal.

For this math worksheet, students imagine a situation where a weight is attached to a string and it is swung in a circle. Then they use vectors and derivatives to describe the motion.

Learn the ins and outs of matrix multiplication. After discovering the commutative property does not apply to matrix multiplication in a previous lesson in the series, pupils now test the associative and distributive properties. The...

Provide an introduction to translations and the notation used to denote a translation on the coordinate plane. An independent practice portion provides the pupils several opportunities to practice the skill of translations along...

Every knows that opposites attract! Here's a presentation that uses this background knowledge to explain magnetic fields and forces. The resource also explains the shape of magnetic fields and how to determine the direction of forces.

Students examine how when applying the laws of motion to an object in an accelerating frame, using coordinates defined in such frame, one must always add an "inertial force", representing forces caused by the frame's acceleration.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

A few class periods will be required to complete this physics investigation with your high schoolers. There is an unavailable video written into the lesson plan, but there is plenty of material here to bridge the gap. Two terrific...

To work through the complexity of coordinate geometry pupils make the connection between the coordinate plane and the complex plane as they plot complex numbers in the 11th part of a series of 32. Making the connection between the two...

Suitable for an AP Biology class, the lab found here has teen bioengineers working with plasmids to clone DNA. If you have not done a similar lab, the instructions may be rather difficult to follow. Both the teacher and learner...

In this matrices worksheet, students solve 10 short answer problems. Students perform row operations on matrices to find compliments, inverted matrices, orthogonal matrices, etc.

Students investigate the structure of the atom and its composition. In this atom structure lesson plan, students find the area of cut out circles and drop pens into the circles. They count the number of marks in the circles and relate...

Students distinguish between the centripetal and centrifugal forces.

Students examine electric fields using viewers to discover the direction of positive charges and the location of the field's strength. They experiment with positive, negative, like and opposite charges. Students also describe how...

Fourth graders paricipate in a demonstration about bond strengths and bond types.

In this matrix operations worksheet, students perform matrix addition and multiplication. This two-page worksheet contains six problems. Definitions, examples and explanations are also provided.

Students see if they can get their perceptions of movement expressed in images.

Add two vectors in magnitude and direction form to get a new vector in component form.

Learn how to add vectors. Drag vectors onto a graph, change their length and angle, and sum them together. The magnitude, angle, and components of each vector can be displayed in several formats.
