"Relationships" in the context of teaching aren't one-to-one. They're many-to-many. jacobsphysics.blogspot.com/2…
Geoff asked me to chime in because I'm an AP reader. Firstly, I've never (yet!) seen a question where this sort of graph needed to be described in words. I suspect we'd accept virtually all of the suggestions in this thread. 1/

Working on a CER question for AP1. What English prose to describe y=-x relationship? Negatively directly proportional? Decreasingly directly proportional? @kilroi22 @fnoschese @SecaurPhysics @TRegPhysics @BarnettDreyfuss @JacobsPhysics @MrJoeMilliano @phyzman @KimFreudenberg

If I were asked to describe such a relationship, I'd say "the acceleration drops linearly with the mass." And then I'd probably sketch the graph so my point is clear. :-)

Don't let high school students *revise* anything. Instead, make them start over. Tales of physics, engineering, art, and writing: jacobsphysics.blogspot.com/2…

This is one that I know I have struggled with. I got so frustrated with a class several years ago because they couldn't finish all of their data collection in a group after nearly 2 full (90min) classes. I was able to get the data by myself within 30 minutes.

(1) Find me after Abigail Mills's presentation on Thursday. She's my colleague showing her interdisciplinary airfoils project, at 3:40pm in room W184a. I'll be there, then I'll be around afterward. Or...

(2) Reply or DM here. I'll be around the conference most of the time on Friday and Saturday. I'd love to meet other physics people for coffee or lunch!

Remember the 2021 AP1 paragraph problem about rolling/sliding down an incline? Milo made an amazing simulation, and I made a video about it. jacobsphysics.blogspot.com/2…
