Graphic Organizers 2
My students created graphic organizers today! I really think they liked the fact that they got to be creative and use colored pencils while they reviewed physics topics from the beginning of the year. Some students even asked if I could post their organizers around the room! haha.

Graphic Organizers
I have not created a graphic organizer in a long time but after being reintroduced to them I am excited to come up with ways to use it in my classroom. In my class I am always reminding students that we never actually finish a topic, we just keep adding on. I just began Newton's second law in which we discuss force, mass and acceleration. I could use a graphic organizer to have the students connect Newton's second law to everything else that we have done this year. In completing Newton's second law problems the students must remember about vectors, scalars, linear motion, constant velocity, acceleration, adding vectors and using the kinematics equations. I think this would be a good way to review the topics we have covered and see how they all tie into Newton's second law.
