Weighing and Determining the Average Density of the Earth
Some background information about density and Newton's Laws of gravitation and motion assist pupils in the following experiment. The procedure will help them further their understanding of gravity, pendulums, and a drop-ball experiment....
Physics LAB
Universal Gravitation and Satellites
In this gravitation worksheet, students use the given formulas to determine the earth's gravitational field at different altitudes, the magnitude of centripetal acceleration experience by satellites, and orbital period of a satellite....
Curated OER
Understanding Symbols
In this symbols worksheet, students read about how different symbols are used to represent variables or constants in equations. Then students complete 3 problems.
Curated OER
Building and Launching Rocket Kits
Students, in groups, build and decorate rocket kits and then launch them.
Exploratorium
Whack-a-Stack
Go wild as you hit a stack of wooden blocks to demonstrate Newton's first and second laws of motion. The blocks at the top of the stack stay put as you knock one at a time out of the bottom. Note, however, that you will need to visit a...
Curated OER
Impact!!
Pupils perform a science experiment. In this algebra lesson, students collect data from their experiment and create a graph. They analyze the graph and draw conclusion.
Curated OER
When Earth Fails: How Earth?s Physical Changes Cause Natural Disasters
Students examine natural disasters and some safety measures that should be followed. In this natural disaster lesson plan students write a narrative, and research safety procedures.
Curated OER
Scientific Inquiry: Periodic Motion
Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.
