Scaffolded version: Rolling Motion Systems Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The Rolling Race: Hoop, Disk, and a Can of Soup Teacher Discussion Guide.
Sections: Standards Alignment; Learning Goals; The Case - Read First; The Record - Dated Observations; How To Run The Discussion; Talk Moves For The Teacher; The Record; Word Bank. Sample item: “1. The soup can and the disk have the same mass, 0.400 kg, and the same radius. What is different about the two racers, and which March 8, 2027 note states it before any racing happens?”
What's inside: Teacher Discussion Guide (editable .docx + PDF, about 2,028 words, 5 pages).
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-PS3-1 — Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Teacher Discussion Guide. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.
Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for high school Physics, grades 9–12.
