Free-Body Diagrams ... The Sequel
This Interactive was inspired by the positive response to the original
Free-Body Diagrams Interactive. The Free-Body Diagrams ... The Sequel is a skill-building tool that allows the learner to interactively construct free-body diagrams for 12 physical situations. The 12 situations are different than the original version and can be done as a follow-up to that version. Each situation is described and the learner clicks/taps on-screen buttons to select forces that are directed upward, downward, rightward and leftward. Learners must decide upon the type of each force and its relative magnitude. Diagrams can be checked for accuracy; feedback is immediate and opportunities for correction are endless. The built-in score-keeping makes this Interactive a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. There is no need for an activity sheet for this Interactive. A Teacher Preview version of the Interactive is available to Task Tracker teachers who wish to quickly view the 12 questions. View
Teacher Preview Version (for Task Tracker teachers only).
Our Free-Body Diagram skill building exercise is equipped with Task Tracker functionality in order to track student progress.
