Introduce Hooke's Law using a simple challenge prompt to get students thinking about the spring constant. Contains animations to help explain direct and inverse proportionality.
Use a challenge prompt to introduce the idea of scalars and vectors, using the context of space to engage students. Students studying space can also investigate the conditions for stable orbits.
Quickly introduce the principle of moments. Use a challenge prompt to help students derive a rule for when objects will balance, and then put that rule to the test in the built-in game.
Use the simulation to facilitate a discussion about resultant forces and acceleration. Contains questions to ask the class when using the simulation, and slides to consolidate learning.
Introduce Newton's laws with a quick investigation designed to promote conceptual understanding. Contains challenge prompts for students to investigate, and slides to consolidate learning.
Using a worksheet, students conduct a lengthy investigation about resultant forces and acceleration. This worksheet uses the 'elicit, confront, resolve' model to address student misconceptions.
