My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: physics
Topic I was teaching: conservation of momentum
My learning goal for which this resource was used: A student asked about the comet the day before and I found these photos and showed them to the class the next day
Course Level: A.P.
How I/my students used the resource: the class viewed the photos through the use of a projector. We then had a short discussion on the causes of the comet's "expansion".
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides a virtual lab, Increases access to scientists, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: photographs were taken from various locations on Earth and the students saw how science can make our world smaller
Weaknesses: none
