Physical Science in Motion: Classroom Applications

Catalog description

Gain excellent resources and engaging activities for implementing STEM content in your classroom with important connections to real-world scenarios. Participants learn to solve problems relating to one-dimensional motion; become acquainted with and apply Newton’s Laws of Motion and equilibrium of forces; learn about constant acceleration and gravitational acceleration; investigate concepts in aerodynamics; and learn about two-dimensional motion. Participants will use free, simple-to-use, software simulations from NASA Glenn Research Center, which helps to present these concepts for you, and then, your students, in the context of aeronautics, including airplane design, rocketry, sports, and more. A carefully developed resource page provides access to excellent resources and engaging activities for implementing course content in your classroom with important connections to Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core mathematics.
