Day 10:
Activity – 25 – 30 minutes
Using balls, a meter stick, a timer, and a ramp, determine the acceleration at 15, 30, 45, 60, and 80 degree angles. You can make this into a formal lab if you wish however, I typically do it as a simply, fun activity that the students can use to apply some of what they’ve learned.
- Do 2 trials for each and graph your results.
- What do you notice?
- Do you think the material would make a difference?
Plickers – Motion (L1-4)

Day 13:
Acceleration Lab Stations
Day 14:
Activity – 15-20 minutes
- Start lesson by having student launch paper clips off desk to see that they land at the same time whether dropped or pushed horizontally
- I typically do this as an informal, simple activity.
