Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Understanding Force, Motion, and Orbits
Resources used in my March 27, 2012 SIRC (Science In the River City) workshop.
- Hoverpuck worksheet (docx) or PDF. Hoverpucks are sold under the name Kick Dis and can be found online for as little as $20.
- Coin funnel worksheet (pdf). I got my coin funnel some years ago from spiralwishingwells.com for $400 (to get a price this low, you must swear that you will use it for educational purposes only, not fundraising).
- PhET simulations (external website). We did the top two, Gravity Force Lab and Gravity and Orbits.
- Hammer and feather dropped on Moon (YouTube video).
- Voting card for think-pair-share questions.
- My blog on my series of activities in an elementary school.
