Grades:
9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
Grades:
9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade
This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
Grades:
9th Grade, 10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade
This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.
