Curated OER
Newton's Laws of Motion
Sixth graders explore Newton's laws of motion with their own bodies. In this relative motion activity students will use a wide range of materials bringing them from the concrete to the abstract on video. Students will draw inferences...
Curated OER
Motion and Inertia
Physics learners make magic with inertia! By pulling paper out from under a stack of blocks or batting a rubber ball into motion, physics scholars' eyes will be opened! Don't think that this instructional activity is only fun and games;...
Curated OER
Introduction to Physical Science
Learners discuss Newton's laws of motion. In this motion lesson, students watch a video that explains Newton's laws. They play a marble game and watch for laws of motion and force.
Curated OER
Action and Reaction
Students experiment with Newton's Third Law of Motion. In this physics and motion lesson, students complete two experiments to illustrate force and its equal and opposite reaction. Students first work in pairs to exert an equal force on...
Curated OER
Marbles and Momentum
Students examine the law of conservation of momentum. For this physics lesson, students play marbles in order to compare the mass of the marble and velocities effects. Students receive directions of the marbles game and collect data...
Curated OER
Frisbee
Learners examine the history behind the frisbee and how Bernoulli's principle and Newton's law plays a role. In this flight lesson students complete an experiment on how the rim of a frisbee effects flight.
