Engineering Skills Through Problem Based Learning

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Navigate the ups and downs of learning about energy. Future engineers consider how potential and kinetic energy apply to roller coasters. They design a roller coaster of their own and then use computer design software to showcase their...

Dungeon Simulation

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Tommy is stuck in a dungeon and can only escape if you can discover the correct formula for velocity! Through trial and error, scholars enter the velocity required for Tommy to reach the elevator at the proper time. Then they extrapolate...

Relative Velocity Simulation

For Students 6th - 12th Standards
If your pupils think relative velocity is the velocity at which you can run away from your relatives, they need this simulation. Two bikers want to meet at a specific time. Scholars alter the velocity of one rider to arrange the...

Model Rocket

For Students 6th - 12th Standards
Acceleration, velocity, mass, and gravity all play a role in the motion of a rocket. Young scientists explore the connection among these components using an interactive tutorial. They adjust the mass and thrust force to experiment with...

Irwin and Ruthie

For Students 6th - 12th Standards
Learners compare acceleration to displacement through an interactive tutorial that permits them to adjust the running strategy of two robots and watch them race. A graph displays the robot's velocity over time and another shows their...

Butterfly Stroke

For Students 6th - 12th Standards
Swimmers improve their times by understanding the physics of their sport. As a swimmer moves through the water, the efficiency of motion affects the resulting velocity. Through an interactive simulation, pupils change the level of motion...

The Concept of a Function

For Students 8th Standards
Explore functions with non-constant rates of change. The first installment of a 12-part module teaches young mathematicians about the concept of a function. They investigate instances where functions do not have a constant rate of change.

Cool Cars

For Teachers 6th - 12th
Students travel one at a time in a straight-line path and attempt to maintain a constant velocity. While one student walks, jogs, or runs, the other group members time the "runner" while standing at five-meter intervals along the path....

Unit III: 3

For Teachers 8th - 11th
For this unit III: 3 worksheet, pupils describe motion in words and graph drawings. Students calculate the instantaneous velocity and average velocity. Pupils also graph the displacement of the object in the word problems.

Position vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time Graphs

For Teachers 10th - Higher Ed
In this constant velocity worksheet, students use data of position vs. time of a roller-skater to determine speed, acceleration, or deceleration at different points along the path. Students rank graphs according to average velocity and...
