Additional computational problems on centripetal motion. Meant to challenge honors students.

Challenging quiz for honors students. Formative assessment to analyze student progress during projectile motion unit. Computational problems on horizontally launched projectiles and two conceptual problems on projectiles launched at an angle.

Can be used as a pre/post test to evaluate student growth in Newtonian Mechanics. This version is scaled back for students with a lower reading level. Post test should be administered after forces, Newton's Laws, free fall, projectiles, circular motion and momentum have all been covered (around March in IAG).

Used in accelerated motion unit. Helps to solidify conceptual knowledge of acceleration. Utilizes mathematical equations.

Used as a summative assessment towards the end of the semester to analyze student grasp of conceptual knowledge. Students are given the freedom to convey their knowledge in any format they prefer.

This is a fun activity to do with students near the end of the projectile unit. I divide my classes into groups of 4-5 and set up a tournament bracket. I provide students with an abundance of tools/instruments (motion detectors, photo gates, stop watch, rulers, scale, etc.) to see which ones they choose to use and why.
