The purpose of this page.
This page will contain resources the student may need to build their understanding of the module concepts.
Week One
Hit the Cup Project
All of the resources you will need to complete your Hit the Cup project are located here.
Minds On PhysicsThere are three modules due at the end of the first week.
NL-1, NL-2, and NL-3 CLICK HERE to go to the MOP modules. |
Pre-conceptions SurveyThis survey needs to be completed on day 2
|
AssignmentsThese assignments are due this week.
*Please notice that each of these assignments has links in the instructions to pages that will help you understand how to complete the assignments. |
Week Two
Minds ON PhysicsNL4 and NL5 are due at the end of the week. CLICK HERE to go to the MOP modules.
Free Body DiagramsThese are the free body diagram assignments due this week.
You should read the Flexbook topic Types of Forces before attempting the first Free Body Diagram assignment.

Newton's Laws Study GuideThis will be a very helpful document this week.
Net Force Help SheetThis is a help sheet to identify Net Forces
Newton's Laws Practice ProblemsThese practice problems are due this week. CLICK HERE to find the Flexbook pages that discuss this type of problem.

Newton's Laws Practice
This video will help you to solve problems with the CSCOPE assignment as well as the Newton's Laws practice problems.
Week Three
Minds On PhysicsThe MOP modules this week come from two places, so pay attention. The first module is from Newton's Laws (NL9). The second module is from The forces in two dimensions, (2D2). CLICK HERE to go to the MOP website.
|
Static and Kinetic Friction LabWe will conduct a lab to investigate the difference between static and kinetic friction.
|
Frictional ForcesThe first assignment this week concerns frictional forces. Click the button for the assignment. A video explaning friction is to the right.
CLICK HERE to go to the Flexbook pages that explain friction. They are helpful. Sometimes the link works best in Firefox. |
|
Forces at an AngleWe have to consider forces at an angle this week also.
CLICK HERE for the Flexbook pages that help with solving these kinds of problems - it is worth your time. |
Inclined Plane AnalysisIn this assignment we will combine our knowledge of friction and forces at an angle to solve problems.
|
Week Four (Unfinished Business)
Newton's Third LawWe still have some unfinished business concerning Newton's third Law. Watch the adjacent video and then read the material concerning Newton's third law found HERE.
Once you have read the material and watched the video, Complete this refection.

|
Minds On PhysicsAfter completing the required reading/ watching the video and completing your reflection, complate this module concerning Newton's third law. CLICK HERE to go to the MOP website.
|
Practice ProblemsAfter completing the MOP module, answer these questions concerning Newton's third law.

MythbustersThis episode of Mythbusters deals with a misconception that Jamie had stated in an earlier episode. He stated incorrectly that two cars crashing together at 50mph would recieve the same damage as one car hitting a wall at 100mph.
Newton's Third Law is in effect - watch and see what happens... |
