A new teaching strategy is proposed for two-dimensional elastic collisions, including an intuitive theoretical explanation and a simple lecture experiment. In the lecture experiment, an Air Hocker serves as a frictionless surface, and a high-speed camera is used to record the trajectories of the colliding objects. The trajectories can be quantified by means of a free-software package, Tracker, for the purpose of further analysis. Based on the experiment, the colliding phenomena predicted theoretically can be demonstrated directly and easily in class. Teachers can therefore attract students' interest in the problems of two-dimensional collisions.
