Mini-Golf Vector Activity - Adding Multiple Vectors
This fun 50 minute activity is designed to simplify resolving vectors into components and determining the magnitude and direction of the resultant when multiple vectors are added. It is appropriate for on-level up to AP Physics and for a pre-calculus class.Presented as a 9 hole round of mini-golf, students use colored pencils to resolve vectors into x and y components using a grid, add those components to create a resultant and then calculate the magnitude and direction of the resulting vector.

Electrical Circuits- Thematic Unit Electrical Components (soldering FM radio)
This is material from a one week summer camp that I created. The camp was called "Gadgets, Widgets, & Gizmos" - for grades 6-8. It is basically a self contained unit that has lots of hands on labs and activities. It teaches series and parallel circuits and electronic components. Students use two different electric kits, solder an LED circuit together, and then for the grand finale build an FM radio. I think a creative public school science teacher would do well with this material. However, i
