Highlights:
Students predict and interpret their own 2D human motion as a sequence of simpler segments. Constant acceleration does not dominate.
Abstract:
This is a submodule of the Biomechanics - Motion and Forces module, which is part of the Biomechanics series of modules. This module expands upon the 1D Human Motion module to 2D, building the skill of predicting and interpreting 2D motion graphs as a sequence of simpler segments. The activities have been updated with click-and-drag worksheets. Lab data that the students take on themselves can be put in a template that matches the pre-made worksheets. The worksheet activities can be used as a do-along with lectures, as class group activities, or as individual work at home.
