Additional Learning Tools and Resources
Watching a presentation is a passive activity. Getting information is important ... but its not the destination or end point. Now that you've watched the video, its time to do something with the information you've heard. It's time to act on it. The resources below provide an opportunity to do this. We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces Concept Builder
Students love Concept Builders. They provide a great way to solidify your learning on a topic. This one on Balanced vs. Unbalanced forces will help you associate the force diagram with the described motion of the object.
Which One Doesn't Belong (Newton's Laws) Concept Builder
Do Physics while you play the classic game of One of these things is not like the other ... which one doesn't belong? Given three, four or five representations of a motion, you must identify which one doesn't correspond with the other ones.
Force and Motion Concept Builder
The forces acting upon an object are described by a force diagram and you must determine what the resulting motion could be. Put your thinking cap on and prepare to discard any erroneous ideas you have about force and motion.
