Projectile Motion
This resource provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students learning about projectile motion—Physics TEKS (4)(C).
Waves—Properties
Given diagrams, descriptions or illustrations, students will determine the properties of wave motion and wave propagation as they pass through different media.
Given information about political reforms of the Progressive Era, students will evaluate the impact of those reforms.
Given background information, students will be able to identify and analyze various methods of expanding the right to participate in the democratic process.
3.01 Distance and Displacement
In this video, we explore the difference between distance traveled (an example of a scalar) and displacement (an example of a vector), and we review some basic vector math.
3.02 Average Speed and Average Velocity
In this video, we explore the difference between speed and velocity, and their relationship to distance and displacement.
3.03 Kinematic Equations in One Dimension
In this video, we introduce the three primary kinematics equations and apply them to one-dimensional problems. The term "acceleration" is also introduced.
3.04 Kinematic Equations Graphical Analysis
In this video, we analyze hypothetical experiments by graphing position, velocity, and acceleration versus time, qualitatively.
3.05 Kinematic Equations in Two Dimensions
In this video, we apply the three primary kinematic equations to projectile motion problems.
3.06 Relative Motion
In this video, the inherent (classical) relativity of velocity measurements is explored, qualitatively and quantitatively, in both one and two dimensions.
1.01 The Nature of Science
In this video, we discuss the underlying philosophy of science.
1.02 Scientific Ethics
In this video, we discuss the ethics and morality required in the responsible practice of science.
1.03 Impact of Science
In this video, we discuss how science affects our lives.
2.01 Laboratory Safety
In this video, we review lab safety procedures.
2.02 Measurement and Error
In this video, we review the proper ways to measure quantities and how to account for errors due to measurement.
2.03 The International System of Units
In this video, we discuss the use of and importance of the International System of Units (SI).
2.04 Techniques for Graphing and Reporting Data
In this video, we discuss techniques for graphing and reporting data.
2.05 Vectors and Trigonometry
In this video, we present an overview of vectors and trigonometric functions, which are helpful in solving physics problems.
4.01 Newton's First Law
In this video, we explore the law of inertia, which states that when no net force acts on an object, that object travels with a constant velocity.
4.02 Newton's Second Law
In this video, we explore the relationship between force and acceleration.
