Instructional Ideas

• Include in a review packet when preparing for the AP Physics exam
• Use as a warm-up activity with individuals or small groups
• Distribute to learners at the beginning of a unit on motion to assess what they know, and hand it out again once the unit is finished to check for understanding

Classroom Considerations

• Font is a little small, but readable

Pros

• Two-page format of the resource would make a versatile doubled-sided homework assignment or quiz
• Provides a working link to the publisher's website, where you'll find many more materials and resources for high school physics 

Cons

• None
