I revised the cannon launch!
In my last post I talked about how I finally reenvisioned collisions and explosion problem solving for my on-track physics. It went so well I’m definitely going to integrate more of it into AP. The goal of the reenvisioning was to set students up for a meaningful tennis ball cannon launch lab at the end…
Multiple Representations for Momentum Conservation
I did it. I finally revised how I teach momentum conservation to my on-track physics students and I’m never looking back! It can be really hard to shift something that “works” especially if you don’t have a team. For my on-track physics students collision/explosion problems were always an “easy win” for students. We would define…
AAPT 2024 in New Orleans!
This month marks a full year since I started my term as the High School Member at Large on the Board of Directors for the American Association of Physics Teachers. Joining the board there were a few goals: It’s been a year of listening, learning and acting, and I’m happy to say that New Orleans…
