Rotational Kinematic Equations Interactive Simulation | Physics | Grades 9–12

Rotational Kinematic Equations Interactive Simulation is an interactive simulation activity for high school Physics (grades 9–12) on Rotational Kinematic Equations.

Pairs with: Rotational Kinematic Equations Slide Show Presentation; Rotational Kinematic Equations Guided Notes; Rotational Kinematic Equations Lesson Quiz; Rotational Kinematic Equations Unit Test.

Sections: Interactive Simulation - Rotational Kinematic Equations; Instructions; Driving Question; Objective; Background; Materials; Simulation Protocol; Data Collection Table. Sample item: “Do the three rotational routes agree on one angle for a real spinning wheel, and can your group measure a spin-up and a spin-down closely enough to find out?”

What's inside: Interactive Simulation (editable .docx + PDF, about 921 words, 5 pages).

Standards: HS-PS2-1 — Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.

Resource type: Interactive Simulation. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the simulation to model the chapter concepts hands-on. Built for high school Physics, grades 9–12.

Format note: These files are delivered in Microsoft Office formats (Word and/or PowerPoint). If you open a worksheet that includes tables in Apple Pages or another non-Microsoft app, table formatting may not display correctly. For best results, use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or upload the file to Google Docs). If you run into any formatting issues, contact us and we can send a PDF version.
