10 ways students can reach new heights in understanding...using images!

Student with Flip Camera
  1. Students can use progressive images to analyze motion. 
  2. Students can take pictures or find images of a physics concept. For example, a student can use an image of a merry-go-round along with written commentary to demonstrate knowledge of rotational motion.
  3. Students can use images to document the construction of their trebuchet project. 
  4. Students can create an instructable! In this instructable, students can explain problem solving techniques and such.
  5. Students can take pictures of the white-board if they get behind on explanations of problem solving techniques.
  6. Students can use images to document how stinking awesome physics class is!
  7. Students can use images to build a portfolio of their best works in a mind map.
  8. Students can use images taken during class to help absent lab partners get caught up on lab activities.
  9. Mr. Goodman can use images of ordinary things to explain forces and vectors.
  10. Mr. Goodman can use screenshots to explain how to use Mind42.
