Curated OER
Displacement Problem Set
Students calculate the length of a side of a triangle using a trigonometric function. They calculate the measure of an angle given two sides of a triangle with a trigonometric function.
Curated OER
Drag Problem Set
Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook and then demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to calculating drag of both full-sized and model gliders.
Curated OER
Curveball vs. Fastball
Learners graph the relationship between the release point and the final position of curveballs and fastballs thrown by both right and left handers given a constant speed, and explain the relationships illustrated by the graphs of data.
Curated OER
The Baseball and Air
Young scholars use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.
Curated OER
Did You Catch My Drift?
Students, through the use of the Curveball interactive software package, become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an object affects its ability to lift, spin, and curve. After reading the explanation given...
