Awesome Collection!
I thought your collection was really good because it was full of useful information and you had a variety of different resources. Each resource that you added in your collection contributed to your topic in a way that was easy to understand. When reading through your articles it helped me come up with better ways to teach force and motion to younger students. When I first hear about the topic force and motion I think that the topic is only something older students would be able to understand but after reading through your collection I now see that it’s actually pretty simple to teach it to younger students. I also enjoyed reading about sample experiments that you can do in the classroom with your students to help teach them about force and motion. I especially liked the one about using simple machines to leverage learning the activity in that article was interesting and I know students would love it. The lessons that were given in your resources were inquiry based and I liked that because students learn best when inquiry is involved. I also enjoyed that one of your resources involved teaching students about force and motion through the activities that they love to do such as basketball, soccer, and “Red Rover”.
