Curated OER
Unit III: Worksheet 1 - Uniform Acceleration
This concise handout posts a diagram of a block sliding down a ramp. High schoolers draw qualitative graphical representations for displacement vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time. They draw a motion map and list the...

Unit III: Worksheet 4 - Uniform Acceleration
Eight problems require general physics recruits to calculate acceleration or distance traveled. They read the situations involving cars and buses, running bears, downhill skiers, and a rock slide and then get to work. Provide this as a...
It's About Time
A Moving Frame of Reference
We often remind pupils to cite their references, but this lesson helps them understand there are many frames of reference. Scholars experiment with throwing a ball straight up in the air and catching it. Then they must do it again while...
Curated OER
Motion
In this motion learning exercise, students determine the motion of a ball on different inclined planes, including the velocity and acceleration. This learning exercise has 8 problems to solve.
Curated OER
How do forces combine?
In this calculus-based worksheet, students experiment how to add forces in order to get a net force of zero with no acceleration while following the directions of a variety of different scenarios.
