This AAPT/PTRA Teacher Resource Guide covers approaches to teaching and learning kinematics. Based on physics education research, the book provides teachers with the resources needed to introduce students to concepts in motion through step-by-step laboratory-based instruction. Inquiry, measurement, and analysis of laboratory data are emphasized throughout. This book includes materials on measurement of time and space and the distinctions between speed, velocity, and three types of acceleration. It includes laboratory activities, worksheets, transparency masters, teacher notes, typical answers to questions, and helpful hints by master teachers.
