This is a project based Interdisciplinary unit planner that looks at Science and Design with regards to electricity and lightning as topics of interest. This unit plan offers more than a dozen proposed STEM tasks that are aligned to different criteria (ABCD) and give students both choice and breadth of learning. Students must complete at least one question from each disciplinary area of the STEM topics during the proposed project. Since the project learning offered by the teacher must specific at least one discipline that each question is firmly grounded within. This IDU is project based learning and interdisciplinary learning at its best. If you have any questions, please feel to DM me on instagram @theteachingastrophysicist Let’s Connect!

Momentum describes mass and velocity combining to describe how hard it is to stop an object. Momentum is all around us, pretty much when anything moves it has momentum, when something is being stopped momentum helps understand how much energy that will take and it even relates to light shining on an object as even light has momentum. So momentum is worth learning a little bit about, let’s check it out with this resource. This science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons.
