Controlling a Collision Video Tutorial
The Controlling a Collision Video Tutorial explains how the variables of the impulse-momentum change equation - force, collision time, object mass, and velocity change - can be manipulated in order to increase or decrease the force experienced by an object during a collision. Numerous examples, illustrations, and animations assist in the explanations. The video lesson answers the following question:
- How can the variables of the impulse-momentum change equation be varied in order to increase or decrease the force on an object in a collision?

Lesson Notes
The Lesson Notes are intended to be printed and used when watching the video. They are structured to allow students to follow the video, record some notes, and leave the video with a document that can be referred to as their learning continues. The Lesson Notes are available as a PDF. Permission is granted to print the notes or to include a link to them from a learning management system.

Lesson NotesLearning takes effort. Watching a video is a relatively passive activity. It's one thing to listen to a video presented by a person who understands the material. But it's quite another thing to apply the information from the video in an effort to personally understanding the material. This page lists a variety of tools that can used to put the new learning to use. The tools include those that can be used by students and those that can be used by teachers with their students within the classroom. Related resources are also included among these tools.
