A Baffling Brain Behavior: Lessons on Inertia

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

In this interactive presentation, I will share a unique series of lessons centered around the question, "In which direction will the brain move in a collision?" Participants will explore this question and the concept of inertia from a student's perspective, using cork and pendulum accelerometers to predict the direction of motion for themselves. Additional resources will be made available, including student activity sheets, lesson plans, and teacher notes.
