Student Learning Map

  • Topic:Vector Resolution and Motion in Two-Dimensions
  • Subject(s):Science
  • Days:12
  • Grade(s):11, 12
Key Learning: Vectors can be used to describe quantities with both magnitude and direction. Trigonmetric functions can be applied to vector addition. Resolve vectors into their components and apply the kinematic equations to solve problems involving projectile motion.
Unit Essential Question(s):
