CK-12 People's Physics Concepts 1. Units and Problem Solving Units identify what a specific number refers to. 2. One dimensional motion describes objects moving in straight lines. 3. This chapter discusses parabolic and projectile motion, acceleration, and velocity. 4. In this chapter, we explore forces and Newton's laws. 5. Forces which cause objects to turn around continuously in a circle are known as centripetal forces. 6. Isaac Newton in a triumph of brilliance declared that there is one law of physics that governs motion and he unified “earthly” bodies and “heavenly” bodies with the The Universal Law of Gravitation. 7. The total amount of motion in the universe is constant. 8. When any two bodies in the universe interact, they can exchange energy, momentum, or both. 9. The third conservation law is conservation of angular momentum. 10. The development of devices to measure time, like the pendulum, led to the analysis of periodic motion. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

A Science Teacher Shares Tech Resources For Teachers, Parents & Students I teach Middle School Science, mainly physical, environmental, and life to 6th and 8th graders. Through grants I have acquired 14 iPads for my students to use everyday. Students are also welcome to use their own handheld devices or smartphones. Stopwatch + Calculator When we do labs, students make use of the iPad app iLab: Timer HD (not free) as a stopwatch as well as the free calculator app Pcalc Lite. A handy biology app A nice paid app for Biology is the Cell and Cell Structure app, which I was able to try out for free – my students did use it and like it. Dissection apps If your students do any animal dissection you can offer kids an alternate way to dissect virtually with Frog Dissection and Rat Dissection, both excellent apps that my students, even 6th graders who don’t do any dissecting, love to use. Office app for iPad One iPad app that we get a lot of use from is Office2 HD. Some students really enjoy creating their own animations and Doink is a great app for that.
