I just realized I've been forgetting to do my blogs this month, so I thought it would would be a good time to finally enter my first December blog post.
I just added one more worksheet to the "other activities" section. This one focuses on describing motion through kinematics equations. In it, students perform actions like dropping a ball from a fixed height, tossing a ball in the air, and rolling a ball across the ground. Then, they use kinematics to make approximations about things like how hard/far they threw the ball, and how quickly it accelerates. Finally, there are some extra (optional) kinematics practice problems at the end which I shamelessly stole from Ms. Wesley. I may make edits to this in the future. Particularly, I'm debating whether or not I should add a quick explanation of scalar and vector quantities, and I am also considering providing an explanation of how the equations are derived/why they work (I did provide a source at the end explaining this). My only worry is that some of these worksheets are getting a bit bogged down by lengthy explanations, so I'm trying things as brief as possibly while still making enough sense. This upcoming week, my goal is to create one more additional worksheet. I suppose I'll have to make another update in a few days, but I'm not sure how much I will be able to say at that point. Overall, I feel pretty good about the progress I'm making with my project (and I'm enjoying working on it).
