You might consider using this module as an assessment after students have completed coursework in mechanics. This was the original purpose for which this module was designed (see Assessment suggestions) |
| Excellent lessons with animations that could be used in class to review concepts and equations can be found at: http://www.sciencejoywagon.com/physicszone/lesson/default.htm |
Try the lessons in Motion, Speed and Velocity, Acceleration (these are in a power point type format with clickable animations) and Force of Friction (which does a nice job of explaining coefficient of friction and contains a table of sample coefficients).
| Another useful site for student review is The Physics Classroom http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/BBoard.html |
| The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety maintains a web site which might be useful during this module, especially for the Pre-Module Assignment: http://www.hwysafety.org/default.htm |
