A circular motion problem in physics can really throw you for a loop. A video explains what circular motion is and how it is figured. It also describes centripetal force and the importance of friction and magnitude. 

We know that gases move throughout and out of our bodies, but why? And how? Learn about gas movement by analyzing rates of effusion. Additionally, watch an interesting precipitate reaction using gases to apply effusion, diffusion, and...

If you hit an object in the road when you're traveling at 60 mph, will it slow you down? Use the concept of momentum to explore this question. Make momentum calculations and predictions for velocity after collisions. 

It's story time! Show your class how to use a distance-time graph to tell a story. They learn to draw and analyze a graph using distance and time data. The story then continues to compare velocity and time. 

What is motion and why does it often follow a straight line? Share the video with your class so they understand the answers to this question and others. Pupils participate in discussions on displacement, acceleration, time, velocity and...

There are a couple of things that orbit Earth; satellites and our moon. But how is it that these objects don't crash into Earth? This is the focus of a video that explains how the gravitational pull of Earth on the moon and the velocity...

Not sure how to introduce young physicists to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal? Well this short video is a great place to start, as it explains how the particle and wave nature of matter makes it impossible to know both the...

Make an impact on young physicists with this fun collection of resources. After first watching a video and taking notes on the physics of car crashes, students go on to complete a series of activities that explore the...
