ACTION
Before-class preparation:
Locate the video and test the operation/viewing of the video on student devices.
Prepare the items for the beginning experiment (Ex from video- a bucket of
water).
During class
Time
5 minutes
20 minutes
5 minutes

Instructional Activities
Perform experiment
Watch the video and discuss
independent questions as they
arise
Once finished, discuss as a class
the beginning experiment

Materials & Resources

Bucket w/ water
Shared video/link to
video

Notes: Begin as a class, then work independently until finished. Then meet as a
class again.

MONITOR
Ongoing assessment(s): The video has ongoing questions/assessment. The
teacher should monitor as they answer questions.
Accommodations and extensions: Extend by experimenting other ways
centripetal/centrifugal force works (i.e. tying an eraser to a pencil, pendulums,
spin holding a ball and then release)

Backup plan: Do the various experiments and have students answer the
questions and share with partner before moving on to the next concept and
experiment.
