I have chosen to look into the
teaching of Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion.
The laws of motion have a lot of everyday applications. Students will
enjoy interactive sites as they study.
The websites I found most enjoyable and educational are:
These tools will prepare students to
be 21st-century scientifically literate citizens by providing hands
on interaction with concepts that may not be possible in the classroom. Students can work through concepts at their
own pace with teacher guidance when needed.
I will plan an end of the unit study
of Newton’s Laws of Motion. I will build
a self-check assessment around www.physics4kids.com/files/motion_laws.html. Students can review the laws and then
complete the assessment on the website.
This will engage students by replacing the ever so common paper and
pencil test.
The biggest challenge will be the
lack of computers on my campus. The
computer lab is supposed to be mobile but most times this does not happen. We are also sharing 20 laptops between twelve
classrooms and specials.
