An Inquiry Approach to Circular Motion
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationships for Circular Motion for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment, collect data using an online simulation, plot their results, and derive the relationship between net force, mass, velocity, and radius. Materials used include a Centripetal Force Apparatus, The Physics Aviary’s Classic Circular Force Lab simulation, Vernier's Graphical Analysis app, and Readings (links provided in the slide deck).
