Teach senior physics students about relative motion and frames of reference, including how to calculate relative velocity between multiple frames of reference
Teaches how light reflects off plane mirrors (transparent/translucent/opaque materials, luminous/non-luminous objects, angle of incidence equals angle of reflection, periscopes) as a self-directed distance-learning physics pack.
The presentation introduces electricity vocabulary before comparing complete and broken circuit paths. A closing challenge asks students to build a working circuit and explore how a switch changes it. Gather the listed circuit components beforehand and use students’ observations to discuss what must connect for the bulb or motor to work.
A multi-day high school physics introduction to forces, covering the four fundamental forces (gravitational, strong nuclear, electromagnetic, weak nuclear), everyday contact forces (normal force, friction, tension), and an accompanying acceleration-due-to-gravity inquiry lab.
Teaches the science (surface tension, physics), mathematics (minimal surfaces, double bubble conjecture), history, and art of soap bubbles through an illustrated slide presentation, with an accompanying study guide.
Acceleration due to Gravity - SENIOR PHYSICS - This physics lesson package discusses the details behind the acceleration due to gravity, the impact of air resistance, the influence of mass on acceleration, as well as terminal speed.
Teaches how shadows form (umbra/penumbra) and how lunar and solar eclipses (total, partial, penumbral, annular) occur, as a self-directed distance-learning middle-school physics pack.
An interactive, animated PowerPoint quiz game reviewing physics topics (forces, moments, speed, pressure) for consolidating learning at the end of a module
Short science presentation explaining what air pressure is, how it works, and how it changes with altitude, for upper elementary students.
A short reading-and-response lesson explaining why rainbows form, introducing light, refraction, and reflection.

A 1-2 day lesson package covering the physics and biology of hearing: frequencies, hearing loss causes/prevention, sound intensity, and ear anatomy.
Teach high-school physics students about reflection, transmission/refraction, and absorption of light, material transparency categories, and how lasers work compared to incandescent light sources.
A high school physics lesson on forces and free-body diagrams (FBDs), covering common forces, drawing FBDs, resolving net force and force vectors using a chosen coordinate system.
A high-school physics lesson package teaching the thin lens equation and magnification equation, including sign conventions and applied problem-solving.
A physics lesson presentation teaching reflection, plane mirrors, the law of reflection, ray diagrams, lateral inversion, and describing images (SALT method).
A high school physics lesson teaching refraction, index of refraction, and Snell's Law, including finding the critical angle.
