Give your physics students a focused look at design a space probe path with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Sample questions include "Why is it advantageous to plan a trajectory that includes multiple gravitational assists?", "In designing a space probe path, why is trajectory important?", and "What is a flyby in the context of space probes?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned physics unit. The unit also covers Gravity Basics, Earth and Moon Gravity, Modeling Orbits, Mass and Distance Effects, Weight and Mass, and Free Fall and Air Resistance, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-PS2-4.
