Here are some notes and links relevant to PTSOS Workshop #2. If you're new to teaching physics in Northern California, check out PTSOS.org.
Momentum and Energy
I prefer momentum before energy, but I've run into teachers who consider those to be fightin' words.
Phyz Momentum Curriculum
One highlight here is our Grass Omelette (Egg Toss Competition). In 2013, I had five sections of Physics, so I was able to compile an adequate set of images and video to make a tidy video: Egg Toss 2013
