Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Project-Based Learning Activity | Physics | Grades 9–12

Multi-Stage Motion & Stopping Distance Project-Based Learning Activity is a project-based learning 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.

Sample item: “Driving question: What should our class tell the town council about raising the speed limit by the school from 30 mph to 40 mph, and can we prove every number in the brief from our own dated test reco”

What's inside: Project Based Learning Activity (editable .pptx + PDF, 13 slides).

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: Project-Based Learning Activity. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the project stations over several class periods, ending with a product they present. Built for high school Physics, grades 9–12.
