Teaching Kinematics and Dynamics – My Daily Schedule

Below you’ll find my daily unit walkthrough. However, if you’d like the resources that go along with the plans, you’ll be interested in my membership.

Inside my Membership, you’ll get access to all the resources listed below and so much more, including

  • Over 1000 science lessons
  • 100+ video lesson walkthroughs
  • Additional day-by-day teaching outlines, activities, projects, quizzes, tests, and more all organized by subject and type

It’s important to note that I don’t simply do the lesson each day and that’s it. Once the lesson is complete, students will have time to work on HW questions and worksheets as well as their outstanding projects that I assign throughout the unit. This outline also doesn’t take into consideration Genius Hour days which are typically each Friday.

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4:

  • HW: Acceleration in 1 dimension worksheet

Day 5:

  • There are two projects I give at the point in the unit. Each semester I only give one. Both take a lot of work and require at least 4 weeks to complete.
  1. Amusement Park Project – I typically give my students the first day to choose their partners and come up with the ride they want to build. I only allow rides to be used once so that each project is unique.
  2. Catapult Project – I typically give my students the first day to choose their partners and come up with the design they want to build.
