And finally, I did this one with my 11th/12th graders today. They measured the ramp angle & mass, and predicted the reading on the cart’s internal force sensor. This was their very first ramp problem, so of course none of them tilted their coordinate system and they had some Fun With Trig.

And a few more. These are for my 9th graders, still on Day 1 of force problem-solving. Spending plenty of time on FBDs and vector addition diagrams in previous classes meant that they could figure out how to solve these problems themselves.

And here is another example! This one is for older students who can do trig. The mass is known, and students can use a protractor to measure the angle. Predict the readings on the two spring scales.

We’re starting balanced force lab practical stations in 9th-grade physics! Students predict the hidden reading on the covered spring scales. This is their very first time solving problems with gravitational force. We’ll move on to more complex stations in next class! #modphys #iteachphysics

Some late summer baking for a cookout! Blueberry blackberry pie, with berries straight off the bush. And homemade hamburger buns because I’m extra.

Want to learn more about Modeling Instruction? Join @secaurphysics.bsky.social and me for a *virtual* intro course starting in September. We’d also love it if you could pass this along to colleagues. Details are at bit.ly/AMTAintro23. Can’t wait to discuss pedagogy with other Science teachers! 🎢🥽🧬🧪🍎
