Instructional Ideas

• Have individuals research collisions and what occurs when they happen at different speeds
• Conduct an experiment in class to demonstrate elastic and inelastic collisions

Classroom Considerations

• Assist all learners with completion of practice problems

Pros

• Visual aids engage learners who react positively to images
• Detailed explanation of concepts allows learners to fully understand complex principles

Cons

• None
