PHYSICS EDUCATION SERIES INTRODUCTION Physics is the Great Adventure This handbook consists of three sections. The materials in this first section will be useful as you organize your trip. The second section consists of lesson plans, laboratory experiments and problem sets that use theme park examples to illustrate the topics traditionally included in mechanics. The third section is the student workbook for use at the park. An answer key is available and will be shipped to you with your physics day ticket order or it can be obtained by e-mailing greatadventuresales@ You can either reproduce the entire student workbook for your class or choose the rides you wish your students to analyze. The symbols and equations used in the workbook are listed in the beginning of the workbook. The equations used for each section of a particular ride are in a separate column down the left side of the page so you may eliminate them if you choose. The authors believe, however, that the park experience is most effective when students are concentrating on connecting their physical experiences to the physics. The equations are those they have already learned and their inclusion is meant to allow them to concentrate on application rather than memory. Using the Theme Park as a motif throughout the mechanics unit has added a wonderful sense of relevance and excitement to our classrooms and those of many other members of The American Association of Physics Teachers. Physics Day at Six Flags Great Adventure gives us a chance to share with our students our won delight in seeing physics in the world around us. We look forward to sharing it with you and your students as well. P H Y S I C S E D U C A T I O N S E R I E S
