Tittel Forces and Motion: Finding the Mass of a Car
Beskrivelse This activity is designed to engage students in a hands-on, real-world physics challenge, where they will work collaboratively in small groups to determine the mass of their teacher's car using 1D kinematics and Newton's second law. The lesson is meant to span two class periods, with the first period dedicated to introducing the task, planning, and simulation modeling using a PhET simulation. The second period will be allocated for data collection, analysis, and the presentation of results.
