Out over the Hersey Prairie today, you may see some interesting wildlife. Physics students experimenting with the motion of giant tennis balls using Video Physics. @ETJ_jhhs@HerseyHuskies
A3: @Desmos helps visualize math so well, @PhETsims has interactive science simulations that work well - love the circuit ones! @texthelp google read and write is a great chrome add on for many reasons, and I love using @VideoPhysics for showing real-life parabolas #MasteryChat
Engaging students w/ real world contexts in gr 10 math @ndsshawks today - bounce/throw a ball, take a video, trace the path with Video Physics, import into @Desmos to use sliders to find the equation of the parabola, then use to prove how high and far it went
The students had to do all the calculations to work out where to place the bucket to catch the cars. Tomorrows lesson we look at the centripetal forces involved in the loop the loop! Also using @VideoPhysics 👍🏼
