4. Welcome to Grade 12 Physics You will find on your desk a bag with physics equipment, a timer, and an instruction card In a moment I will ask you to read the instructions and try to complete the challenge in the 60 second time limit. Keep in mind what you learned last year about motion, energy and forces. The other option is to view the instructions on line.

5. Sample Blueprint available on NBC.com

6. Graphic Organizer Please transfer the graphic organizer to the white board and take 5 minutes to fill in any concepts, ideas, laws or principles you remember from grade 11 physics.

8. Samples of student work What can we do with this? Diagnostic assessment Conceptual gaps

9. Challenge Modification Add a little more physics to make it even better! For example the “Flip the Cup” challenge requiring the cup to be flipped onto a bottle could be modified as follows:

10. The Challenge uses the same principles as before but this time includes a change in vertical and horizontal distances. Now it is your turn to try!

11. Sample student work Blueprints and video

12. Another Sample

13. Please take 10 minutes to try walk around to other stations to try out the different challenges Time to play!

14. Is there anything you can see that we could change to improve our idea? Next Step
