AP Physics Motion Warm-Up
By David B.
A 3-question starter packet for AP Physics students focusing on motion in one dimension. This resource is designed to activate prior knowledge and prepare students for more complex problem-solving.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a brief warm-up activity at the beginning of a lesson on kinematics.
- Discussion question: How does the concept of acceleration differ from velocity in one-dimensional motion?
- Scaffold for struggling students: Provide a reference sheet with key kinematic equations.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask students to derive one of the kinematic equations from basic principles.
- Estimated time: 10-15 minutes.
