The official NGSS website. This features the absolute core of where the framework for this classes' units comes from.

The Next Generation Science Framewohttp://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/momentumrk Final Report. This is the detailed description for all the conceptual ideas behind the NGSS.

This incredibly useful primary source gives the exact standards for teaching English learners. The ideas for developing adaptations in my lessons for my English Learners comes from these standards.
http://www.corestandards.org/read-the-standards/
Another essential primary source. This website gives the CA Common Core State Standards. Most importantly for this course, this site gives us the common core standards for English Language Arts, and Mathematics. Both of these fields should be incorporated in this course and will be.

A clever, clear and somewhat comedic short video on momentum. The video is short enough to engage students (as well as explain), and is short enough to play twice in a row even.

The Physics Classroom, is a very useful website for explanations, examples and lesson ideas. This particular page features this unit of conservation of momentum.

Hyperphysics is somewhat more useful for the undergraduate, lower division physics major. However, there are still some very simple explanations and useful tools. This short page features both, and will be useful practice for showing momentum calculations.

This video will be a fantastic engaging activity. The video shows the astronaut who does such an effective way of explaining momentum.

A very helpful website that utilizes the NGSS with descriptions, sample videos and demonstrations as well as lesson ideas.
