Good day all!
Several teachers at my school have decided they want to teach
forces first in our ninth grade physics course.
I currently teach constant velocity, balanced forces,
constant acceleration, constant net force, energy and finally
mechanical waves. One teacher does motion then forces, and
another does forces first, then motion.
We are being told to show up with our arguments why we should
follow a certain sequence. All the headache of college
teaching with none of the joy it seems!
Anyone here have an opinion on sequence? I'd love to hear from you!
