Living Physics Portal: BMP Forces Acting in the Human Body Learning Activities (LA)

Abstract: Force Learning Activities are designed to enhance student learning in small group work in or out of class for formative/summative assessment. Activities include simulations, worksheets, videos that encourage analysis and evaluation of Newton's Laws and Force concepts as applied to the human body. References to Learning Activities are embedded in the BMP TEXT at suggested appropriate locations, but can be used independently with other curriculum per instructor choice. Learning Activities can be used in multiple ways: in-class small-group activities, out-of class assignments, quiz questions, or for online use (with adaptation).
