Spinning eggs and Newton's first law of motion, yes it's true. This really well done clip is perfect of class or homeschool use. It uses the example of a cooked vs. an uncooked egg to describe Newton's first law. Lots of light bulbs will...

From where do United States citizens derive their laws? This resource offers an overview of the various sources of law, such as the Constitution, statutes passed by Congress, and judicial precedents established through court cases. It...

Sal derives the Law of Cosines using a method similar to the wayward ship captain word problem he solves in another video. This video provides a good review of using the SOH-CAH-TOA model, the Pythagorean Theorem, some of the basic trig...

In this video, Sal proves the Law of Sines by using the SOH-CAH-TOA model and setting up equivalent ratios.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Your physics fans will react to you showing this PowerPoint by understanding Newton's third law! It is full of diagrams pertinent to the information being explained. A few...

A suggested sequence of events lays out five hands-on activities and four creative assessments on the conservation of momentum. Using spring scales and mail scales, junior physicists examine Newton's Third Law. After you have taught the...

Three memorable activities build on each other to give physics masters a firm grasp of Newton's Second Law. Pupils play with a lab cart on a flat surface and on an incline to confirm that force is equal to mass times acceleration. In the...

If it doesn't bother you that the graphic in the middle of the page is a bit blurry, you will find a stellar set of physics problems regarding action and reaction. Future phyicists practice applying Newton's thrid law of motion to Mr....

Follow the adventures of Fluffy, The Wonder Hamster. Junior physicists calculate his weight on different planets, the force of his rocket engine, and the acceleration and velocity of his toboggan. Fluffy will challenge and entertain your...

Give your class some inertia with a far out video and multiple-choice questions about Newton's first law of motion. Several examples are given in an animated feature in a style that upper-elementary learners will enjoy.

A flipped classroom lesson introduces astrophysics fanatics to Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. After reading about the laws of ellipses, equal areas, and harmonies, and also learning how Newton's gravitation concepts come into...

Under pressure to get the class started on the Gas Laws? Look no further! Chemistry scholars learn the basics of the gas laws in a short, animated video. The narrator explains and names each law while working sample problems.

How can your journalism class ensure they use social media responsibly and legally? The sixth lesson in a 16-part Social Media Toolbox series asks pupils to dig deep into the legal aspects of social media use by school publications....

Ready to expand your chemistry class' knowledge of the gas laws? Science scholars explore the relationship between temperature, pressure, volume, and moles in a well-rounded tutorial. The narrator covers a variety of topics, including...

Sir Isaac Newton is introduced by a deep and calming voice. The voice and computer animations are used to explain the first Law of Motion, inertia. The video pauses and begins a segment on the second law of motion: force, mass, and...

A scientist accelerates two balls of different masses at a masked and armored man. It is obvious which ball travels faster and farther, exemplifying Newton's second law. Insert this video, and others by the same creator, into your...

This is the first clip in a two-part series on Newton's First Law of Motion. Excellent examples and comprehensive explanations truly describe this law of motion. View part two for even more good teaching.

Tired of long, tedious enthalpy calculations? Look no further than Hess' Law! Young chemists discover a shortcut using changes in enthalpy with a video from JFR Science. The narrator talks about the theory behind the law, then performs...
