Integrating Energy and Equity in High School Physics
Highlights:
1D kinematics problem and reading. Students calculate how far blood moves in a heartbeat and reflect on how microaggressions impact health.
Summary:
This homework assignment compliments kinematics lessons. The main physics content centers around understanding that displacement is the area under the curve of a velocity graph. In this problem, the graph is a simplified graph of blood velocity in the ascending aorta. After the kinematics questions, this assignment has students read a short article about the health implications of micro-aggressions. Students reflect on how to improve the situation.
