Students study the forces, push and pull. They conduct demonstrations of pushing and pulling. They examine the Nebraska state quarter for an example of pulling.

Follow-up a physical science lesson with a reading passage that connects sports to force. Readers respond to six short answer questions that requires them to use the text as a basis for the answers.

For this comprehension exercise, kids read a physical science article about forces that can move an object, and then answer a series of questions about the passage.

Fourth graders observe and understand forces applied to an object and the change in speed or direction of the object. In this forces activity, 4th graders divide into groups and play at various sports stations. Students mark push or pull...

High schoolers use this problem to help them to relate to force vectors: Suspend a meterstick horizontally between two tables. Place a 1kg mass in the middle of the meterstick. Notice the bend of the meterstick. Explain why the...

Fourth graders predict, observe, and compare what happens when a force is applied to an object. In this forces instructional activity, 4th graders complete a 'swinging hammer' activity to learn about forces and motion.

Young scholars examine the four forces of flight. In this flight lesson, students test to see which types of items will fly. Young scholars make predictions on whether the item will fly or not. Students gain knowledge about lift,...

Light is such an amazing thing! Elementary schoolers explore the wonderful world of light and shadow. The lesson is meant to be carried out on a whiteboard. Objects are placed in front of a light source, and learners must predict what...

Students are told that the weight of a car is equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. When a car is at react on a horizontal road, there must be a normal force with which the road pushes up on the car to keep it...

Students explore charges using balloons and soap bubbles. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze the Van de Graaf generator to see how charges flow using charged particles, static electricity and lighting. This assignment requires...
