Canva is a website that can be used to create slideshows and design different kinds of graphics, posters, and other useful visual tools. This project was created for a virtual co-op to use in his physics class. The project is an introductory visual tool to momentum. It covers some of the most important points needed to understand momentum and how to calculate it. To create this I looked back at some of my notes from my physics class to see what should be covered as an introduction to momentum. I then looked for a template in Canva to use for this and found a good one that was intended for an infographic and changed the layout of it quite a bit. While making the graphic I looked up some of the best real world examples of the Law of Conservation of Momentum and the Impulse-Momentum Theorem and added some elements from Canva to help portray those. I chose momentum because my virtual co-op said that he would soon be starting to cover momentum in his physics class and I thought it would fit well with an infographic-style project in Canva.Â
This project in Canva relates to Danielson Framework domain 3 the most, while also having connections to other domains. One of the elements that best relates to this project is Element 3C, which is "Engaging Students in Learning." A graphic like this helps engage students by giving them something interesting to look at while covering the essentials of what they are learning. Canva can be a useful tool for keeping students engaged in the content of the course and introducing new material in an interesting way visually.
