Programmed XRP robots for the traditional tumble buggy lab practical. Students spent a day measuring positions and times for different “efforts” in the code. You can see their predictions marked on the meter stick for the collision point. #ITeachPhysics

Started the year off in AP2 immediately with a 2 week engineering project. 1st time I’ve started the year with something like this. Seems to be generating excitement and positive vibes. #ITeachPhysics

Simple #ITeachPhysics fluids lab quiz

Give students 1 bolt, 1 nut, 1 plastic cup with line drawn to a certain level and a small graduated cylinder of an unknown liquid (canola oil). Can use water, balance, ruler, and graduated cylinder.

How many passengers (nuts and bolts) to sink it to the line?

This project started in the Thermo unit with a design and real estate ad, then they constructed and wired up their homes. #iteachphysics

Physics 1 being introduced to 3-D printing, programming, and breadboard circuits in an engineering project. The goal is to design a rotating platform to control with an Arduino. Using only friction to hold coins on the platform, they try to score in the areas marked on the mat. #iteachphysics
