This item is an experiential learning activity for beginning physics students relating to gun ballistics and projectile motion, easily adaptable to the high school classroom. This scenario involves the case of a young man slain in his own apartment with a handgun. True to the PBL method, students will sift through given information to separate useful from irrelevant data, then collaborate to apply physics in finding solutions.
This resource includes a printable student manual. The Instructor's Guide requires a password, accessible free of cost to registered teacher-users. Also included are links to background information on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) instructional method and links to additional PBL exercises by the same authors.
This resource is part of 2 Physics Front Topical Units.
Topic: Kinematics: The Physics of Motion
Unit Title: Motion in More Than One Dimension Students learn about projectile motion and conservation of momentum as they investigate a mock-murder case involving a handgun. They are given just enough data about the gun ballistics and the crime scene to test hypotheses and solve the murder. This resource is based on the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) instructional method. The Student Guide is freely accessible; an answer key can be obtained by contacting the author. Link to Unit:
Topic: Kinematics: The Physics of Motion
Unit Title: Motion in More Than One Dimension A great activity for getting students excited about projectile motion.....and easily adaptable for the high school classroom. It is a CSI scenario where a man is shot with a handgun. Using the Problem-Based Learning method, students work cooperatively to solve the case by applying physics. This resource includes a printable student manual. Registered teacher-users can also access an Instructor's Guide free of cost. Link to Unit:
