Science is a Verb

Sometimes I make things that I think are spiffy. Feel free to use or modify with attribution.

Physics Lab Template A graphic organizer for student-designed labs

Modeling Cycle Phase Posters Each day, I hang up the poster that best fits what students will be doing that day to normalize feelings like confusion on certain days

Group Role Cards I have students keep these cards in front of them while using group roles; these roles were influenced by the group roles from the University of Minnesota PER group

Random Group Generator Made by my colleague, Scott Lotze New random numbers are generated on any edit, so simply sorting that column will generate new groups

Question Stems for Problem Discussions I project these stems during whiteboarding sessions to help students frame productive questions

Center of Mass in Inelastic Collisions: Interactive to see how the center of mass between two blocks moves in an inelastic collision with the ability to adjust the mass and initial velocity of each block.

Center of Mass in Elastic Collisions: Interactive to see how the center of mass between two blocks moves in an elastic collision with the ability to adjust the mass and initial velocity of each block.

Pinhole Ray Diagrams: Interactive to see how changing various properties affects the ray diagram for a pinhole viewer.

Transverse Wave Particle Motion: Interactive to compare particles on two different waves and see how changing wave properties affects the particle motion.

Wave Superposition: Interactive to see the superposition of two waves traveling in opposite directions with ability to adjust amplitude and wavelength.

Bouncy Ball Height vs. Time Graph: Annotated vertical position vs. time graph for a bouncy ball with lots of adjustable values
