Vector Addition (Physics)

Written By Noah Dirig

Topics: physics, geometry, vectors, vector components

Grades: 9-12

Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSN.VM.A.1-2, 4

Duration to complete: 10-15 minutes

Learning outcome: Students will learn that two or more vectors can be added together by summing their X and Y components. Students will also learn how to add vectors geometrically.

Intro for students: What do you do when you have more than one vector in a two dimensional space? In this experience, you will add vectors numerically and geometrically as you help some animals find their way home.
