Learners investigate the factors affecting projectile trajectory. In this physics activity, students calculate the range, time and speed of projectiles using mathematical equations.

After a brief lecture on levers, torque, projectiles, and the five-step engineering design cycle, young physical science learners or engineers build catapults out of craft sticks. This is an open-ended exploration of what works and what...

High schoolers explain the four stroke process in internal combustion engines. In this physics activity, students role play this process and present their reenactment in class. They draw and label the diagram of an internal combustion...

Middle schoolers simulate crater formation through a lab activity. In this space science lesson plan, students calculate how much energy is transferred during meteorite impact. They identify different factors affecting the size and depth...

Students record data of using a track system with variables and how those variables affect a ball used in the track. In this track lesson plan, students design their own track in groups, test the ball's rates of speed, and record their...

Twelfth graders examine the physics of rocket flight. They build and launch model rockets to measure their performances.
