The usefulness of graphical representations over straight-up equations and calculations for understanding energy concepts has been well established in physics teaching literature for years. I resisted teaching energy bar charts for nearly the first two decades of my career - mainly for point (3) above.

In ten days’ time, we had to reinvent college-level mathematics instruction on a large scale—more than 100 sections of courses and nearly 3000 students—with no playbook. So I’ve stopped prioritizing time and energy to anything that doesn’t seem to matter, and to stop feeling guilty about it.

Then, as the AP1 students do cumulative review for the exam, the APC students can do their review in the context of practicing calculational problems, and of learning some of the calculus techniques unique to the C exam. What is the total kinetic energy of the two-cart system? Cart A, of mass 1 kg, moves left with speed 1 m/s.

He is in AP Calculus BC. In the first part of the year, I had him focus on the mathematics that overlay the concepts he learned in Physics 1. He watched all the "AP Daily" videos for Physics C, he practiced new mathematical techniques like integration to find displacement/work/center-of-mass-location/rotational inertia.

STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Engineering is why traffic flows smoothly on crowded roads and why bridges survive despite massive loads of trucks, and is the foundation for much research into global warming and alternative energy. These four topics cover every aspect of our life.

Daniel’s research lies within the field of high-energy nuclear physics, which investigates how parton interactions and motions influence the internal structure of hadrons. These high-energy collisions are conducted in huge particle accelerators, several miles in circumference, that can accelerate protons close to the speed of light.
