Kinematics: Describing Motion Phenomena-Based Lesson: Simultaneous Impact of a 1.32-Kilogram Geological Hammer and a 0.03-Kilogram Falcon Feather in the Lunar Vacuum Presentation | Academic Physics | Grades 9–12
This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Academic Physics (grades 9–12) chapter Kinematics: Describing Motion, built around the phenomenon Simultaneous Impact of a 1.32-Kilogram Geological Hammer and a 0.03-Kilogram Falcon Feather in the Lunar Vacuum. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
- What's inside: Student Slide Show (editable .pptx + PDF, 22 slides).
- Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Presentation. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.
Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for Academic Physics, grades 9–12.
Sample question“' How can two macroscopic objects possessing a forty-four-fold difference in mass and radically different aerodynamic shapes fall with identical accelerations and strike the ground at the exact same m”
