I've had an incredible experience this semester with my Science class. I've developed a full physics unit on Newton's Laws of Motion, using Circus activities to hook, demonstrate and integrate the concepts. I can't wait to teach them!! I now have an integrated 10 lesson unit plan that is fun, engaging, active, and adaptable to younger or older grades. Most importantly, I LOVE what I'm learning!!
The Science of Circus
I now have the following Physics lesson plans in my teaching arsenal:
  • Juggling Gravity
  • Keeping it in Balance: Centre of Gravity
  • Walking the Line: Balance
  • What goes around comes around: Angular Momentum
  • Jump Around: Potential, Kinetic, and Elastic Energy
  • Slinky Physics: Energy Transfer
  • Having a Ball with Newton’s First Law
  • Swinging To and Fro: Pendulum Motion
  • Falling with Style- Gravity, Friction, Air Resistance
  • What’s that Sound? Sound Waves/ Doppler Effect/ Sound Barrier
Lessons are available to teachers and education students by request. Contact me for more details!
