Frames of Reference and Relativity title slide lists lesson topics from Newtonian physics to length contraction
Opening title and lesson topic overview
Newtonian physics lesson slide explains predicting the motion of everyday objects, including fruit and planets
Slide 2 introduces Newtonian physics
Classical physics limitations slide identifies very small objects, speeds above 10% of c, and strong gravity
Slide 3 outlines limits of classical physics
Special relativity lesson slide introduces high-speed motion and measurements relative to a reference frame
Slide 4 introduces Einstein’s special relativity
Einstein’s Conflict lesson slide asks whether a flashlight in a car moving at 100 km/h sends light at c + 100 km/h
Slide 5 poses a question about the speed of light
Michelson and Morley lesson slide introduces their 1887 experiment testing light speeds through proposed ether
Slide 6 introduces the Michelson-Morley experiment
Michelson and Morley results slide states that the expected change in light speed was not found and c was constant
Slide 7 presents the experiment’s unexpected result
Special relativity postulates slide lists physical laws in all inertial frames and the constant speed of light
Slide 8 lists the two postulates of special relativity
Consequences of relativity slide uses c = Δd/Δt to introduce time dilation and changes in observed lengths
Slide 9 connects constant light speed to relativity
Time dilation lesson slide introduces a spaceship light beam traveling to a mirror and back to a sensor
Slide 10 begins the spaceship time dilation example

About This Product

Frames of Reference and Relativity - Senior Physics Lesson

Your lesson covers chemical reactions and balancing. In order, the lesson teaches about; Newtonian Physics, Problems with Classical Physics, Modern Physics & Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, Michelson and Morley, Postulates of Special Relativity, Time Dilation, and Length Contraction.

Your lesson includes the teacher and student version of the presentation, an auto-graded exit ticket, TWO EMBEDDED videos and a student lesson handout so the students can record the notes on a more condensed medium.

This lesson is designed to be your go-to resource, whether you're in a traditional classroom or a virtual one. With both a teacher version and a student version, it seamlessly fits into your lesson plans, making learning engaging and adaptable.

Assessment made easy

We've included an auto-graded Exit Ticket and a quiz with an answer key because I know you don't have an excess of time. I know you don't, because I don't and I know I'll do whatever I can to reduce my grading time.

Whether you use PowerPoint or Google Slides, prefer Word or Google Docs, this lesson has you covered. This lesson comes in both Office and Google formats for your convenience.

The student version of the presentation has strategically placed blanks for them to fill in as you're teaching. It keeps them active and engaged, encourages discussion, and leaves more time for those "aha" moments.
