Concept Compare: Kepler's (and Newton's) Laws of Planetary Motion for Orbits
This concept comparison is between: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, and how they relate to Newton's Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation. Bring a calculator!The Concept Comparison Routine is used help compare and contrast key concepts. Specifically, students use like and unlike characteristics and categories shared and not shared by two or more concepts to better understand the overall concept.

Concept Compare: Why Does the Sun Shine? Thermonuclear Fusion! (p-p and CNO)
This Concept Comparison of Thermonuclear Fusion contrasts proton-proton (p-p) chain reactions, and the "cold" carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycles. Help Ss communicate scientific ideas about the way stars produce elements over their life cycle. Emphasis is on the way nucleosynthesis, and therefore the different elements created, varies as a function of the mass of a star and the stage of its lifetime. As cosmologist Carl Sagan famously said, “We are made of star stuff.” And we literally are! We a

Concept Comparison Frame: Laws of Thermodynamics
What are Laws of Thermodynamics? This concept comparison introduces Ss to the laws of the thermodynamics, pressure-volume diagrams for ideal gases, processes which are isothermal, isovolumetic, and adiabatic, and explains differences in enthropy and enthalpy. Through inquiry and exploration, students will describe how the law of conservation of energy dictates how heat energy is transferred through systems by convection, conduction, and radiation, its influences on changes of states of matter an

So, what IS light?
This resource starts with asking students to define "light" in a way someone born blind can understand.The resource includes:the person born blind activity (with suggestions of how to use the definitions in class discussions)suggestions for demos/examples of the behavior in their operational definitionsa handout that reprises the initial question and summarizes observations of light that can be explained by the particle and wave models, culminating in the need for quantum explanations that expla
Physics and Chemistry: Math Review
This 14-page resource contains instructions, examples, and sample problems for scientific notation, significant figures, and dimensional analysis. (A 14-page key is also provided for this resource.)I have found that reviewing these topics at the beginning of the school year helps ensure that all of my students have the needed math skills to be successful in physics and chemistry.I have made this resource all inclusive. The instructions are followed by examples to go over as a class. There are

Physics Guided Notes- Force, Friction, and Newtons Laws
These guided notes are a great way to discuss force, friction, and Newtons Laws. I have embedded examples and practice problems throughout. I have also included lab ideas where they are applicable. These notes are based on the textbook "Holt Physics". An answer key is provided, so the use of a textbook is not necessary.I use these guided notes to replace boring lectures. They turn covering new material into more of a discussion than a one-way conversation.Topics covered include--Sir Isaac New
