Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Interactive Simulation | Physics | Grades 9–12

Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Interactive Simulation is an interactive simulation activity for high school Physics (grades 9–12) on Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance.

Pairs with: Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Slide Show Presentation; Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Guided Notes; Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Lesson Quiz; Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Unit Test.

Sections: Instructions; Driving Question; Objective; Background; Materials; Simulation Protocol; Data Collection; Analysis. Sample item: “If the three case stops are rebuilt at one-tenth scale from the case rules, do the taped marks grow in a straight line with speed, or do they bend upward?”

What's inside: Interactive Simulation (editable .docx + PDF, about 1,315 words, 6 pages); answer key / model answers for the teacher.

Standards: HS-PS2-1 — Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. HS-PS2-3 — Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.

Resource type: Interactive Simulation. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the simulation to model the chapter concepts hands-on. Built for high school Physics, grades 9–12.

Format note: These files are delivered in Microsoft Office formats (Word and/or PowerPoint). If you open a worksheet that includes tables in Apple Pages or another non-Microsoft app, table formatting may not display correctly. For best results, use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or upload the file to Google Docs). If you run into any formatting issues, contact us and we can send a PDF version.
