Numbered Heads Review Chap 3 Conceptual Physics

1. Form into the designated groups

2. Take out one full sheet of paper per group and list the name of the group at the top. Then list the names of the group members and place numbers next to each name (1, 2, 3…..If four members then write 4 also). It doesn’t matter who gets what number.

3. Hand the paper to the instructor. It will be used for assessment and graded.

4. Begin reviewing/ learning the listed concepts. Make up sample questions related to the concept. Try and figure out what question the teacher will ask. Time is limited; so don’t waste it!

5. Once you understand the concepts make sure each group members also understand by assessing them. Do not ask yes or no assessment questions.

Good Assessment. “Sam, could you show me how to do number three on the list?”

Poor Assessment. “Do you guys all know it?”

6. When the instructor calls a number randomly (ex. = 3) the three will go to a designated area alone and respond to a similar question. Make sure they have something to write with and a calculator. After they leave begin studying the next set of concepts for the next round.

7. After a short amount of time the person will then return to the group and their answer will be graded by the teacher and given to the entire group as a communal score.

8. The returning group member may be called again so they should receive extra instruction to help get caught up.

9. The scores are added at the end to determine winners. The top three groups receive extra points on the test.

Concepts:

1. Similarity and difference of vector and scalar





2. How to draw or represent a vector system accurately (2 Components Plus resultant)






3. How to solve for the resultant of a vector system using the components






4. What it takes to be a projectile (Eliminate the non projectile)






5. Relationship between horizontal and vertical velocity of projectiles






6. Time to hit ground for thrown vs dropped objects



7. Angle needed to get the most range for a thrown projectile






8. Place where projectiles have minimum speed





9. Calculate range for a horizontally shot projectile given time and speed






10. Complimentary angles for projectiles







11. Solving for the resultant in a vector word problem






12. satellite motion including horizontal escape velocity





13. calculate time for a projectile to return given initial vertical velocity





14. Solve for resultant crossing a river where boat and current speed are known
