Kinematics: Describing Motion Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Simultaneous Impact of a 1.32-Kilogram Geological Hammer and a 0.03-Kilogram Falcon Feather in the Lunar Vacuum Presentation | Academic Physics | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Academic Physics (grades 9–12) chapter Kinematics: Describing Motion, built around the phenomenon Simultaneous Impact of a 1.32-Kilogram Geological Hammer and a 0.03-Kilogram Falcon Feather in the Lunar Vacuum. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
