Leisa B. I just completed my student teaching in Newark New Jersey. Creating unit plans became a breeze once I joined Lesson Planet. There was a plethora of resources for every CCSS. Thank you. I had veteran teachers asking me where did I get my resources. I am now teaching at my cooperative school. Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Highly recommended is this presentation on circular motion. Using demonstrative graphics and diagrams, and clear and explanatory text, viewers learn to define and perform calcualtions for circular motion, velocity, and acceleration. Practice problems are included. The fictional centrifugal force is also explained, complete with pictures of people in an amusement park Spin-out or Rotor Ride. This is definitely a valuable resource to add to your physics lessons!

You can make sure your physicists' heads are not spinning when studying circular motion by assigning this worksheet as homework. In it, they describe tangential and rotational speed, define centripetal force, explain why centrifugal force is considered imaginary, and then solve five practical problems. Formatting is neat and user-friendly.

Physicists become Olympians in a competition using centripetal force. They ride a bicycle to comprehend relationships between linear and rotational motion. If you have an old-fashioned record player, it can be used to help pupils describe rotation and revolution. Classic pendulums and a classroom bowling ball pendulum are incorporated to help learners make connections. This activity-filled unit explores circular motion from every aspect, and the lesson write-up covers the details from every aspect as well!
