Energy and Equity Portal: Kinematics - Tides and Indigenous Fishing Technologies

Kinematics - Tides and Indigenous Fishing Technologies

Vetted

Download6

Highlights: Conceptual questions relating position and velocity and comparing the sustainability of industrial and indigenous fishing technologies.

Summary: This homework assignment compliments kinematics lessons. The main physics content centers around understanding that velocity is the slope of position, applied to a graph of tide heights from Everett, WA. This series of questions includes practical questions about kayaking and fishing. Students read about indigenous fishing technologies and compare these to industrial methods for salmon fishing.

This assignment works well as a class or online discussion. If your school is near a coastline, you can easily swap in your own tide chart.
