Motion – Junior Physics – Day-By-Day Walkthrough
I’ve been teaching physics for a number of years but when I first started, the hardest part I found was knowing what to teach and how to pace my units so that the students had an opportunity to gain a full understanding of the content. What I’ve presented below are the timeline and resources I use inside my grade 11 (junior) physics classroom.
