Curated OER

Speed

For Teachers 5th - 6th
Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Motion: Speed, Velocity, Acceleration and Networking

For Teachers 8th - 10th
Students interpret a variety of motion graphs. For this physics lesson, students calculate the speed and acceleration of objects using numerical data from graphs. They apply what they have learned to solve real world problems.

Spark Activity: Counting Laps

For Teachers K - 2nd
Students move around a makeshift "track" set up by the teacher, moving around it as many times as they can before the stop signal. Students begin by power walking and slow-jogging, then build up speed as they proceed. Students call out...

Water Unit

For Teachers 6th - 8th
Students make boats and race them. In this physics lesson, students investigate surface tension, molecules, and cohesion by competing in a class race with their boats. Students experiment with liquid soap to see how much will make their...
