Studying and learning about momentum becomes especially vivid when imagining a student hurtling toward the ground without a parachute. In this extreme (and thankfully fictional) scenario, the student’s velocity increases as they fall, creating a massive amount of momentum due to their speed combined with their mass. By exploring such a dramatic example, middle and high school students can grasp how momentum works in real-life situations, from car crashes to sports collisions. Understanding these principles not only builds a solid foundation in physics and momentum but also highlights the importance of safety and responsible decision-making. With this in mind, let’s engage with this excellent learning resource!

This what the heck science - momentum case study provides the perfect resource that can help your students learn all about momentum through an excellent opening activity that is effectively structured. Then leading to an truly engaging set of stories of survivors from falling out of the sky unassisted and surviving. This brings real scientific learning in an authentic and unusual way. Then the closing activity is a reflection of the opening activity, but with an entirely new twist to bring a new excellent way of learning.

For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this what the heck science activity set.

THIS WHAT THE HECK SCIENCE - MOMENTUM CAN BE USED SO MANY WAYS:

  • Useful for substitute (sub) teaching
  • To extend students
  • To increase scientific engagement in your class
  • A small group task (or tasks)
  • To inspire students on momentum in an unusual way
  • Use to open, re-engage and close a unit on momentum
  • Provide it as independent work outside of class for a flipped classroom

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS WHAT THE HECK SCIENCE - ACTIVITY SET:

  • 3 page opening activity in PDF, Word doc & Google Doc formats with fillable text boxes
  • 3 page case studies reading and questions set in PDF, Word doc & Google Doc formats with fillable text boxes
