Exploring Physics Outdoors with Mr. Lord’s Class

Mr. Lord’s physics students took their learning outside for a hands-on exploration of motion and velocity. Using a simple ball toss activity, students measured the time the ball was in the air and the distance it traveled. Applying kinematics formulas and trigonometry, they calculated the velocity of their throws—bringing textbook concepts to life through real-world application. This place-based learning experience not only deepened their understanding of physics but also fostered collaboration, curiosity, and critical thinking in an engaging outdoor setting.
