Frank Noschese is awesome about sharing good ideas (as is the rest of the Physics Teacher Twitter Community)
Today we started with students developing a procedure to measure the time and then calculate distance they traveled while texting “LOL” (we also discussed the laws in MA and junior operator laws that are associated with this dangerous activity). We’ll talk reaction time and texting soon. The overall impression was that they didn’t realize just how far they’d travel in a “short” amount of time.
