High school physical scientists collide with motion. They work in pairs to design a paper car that will protect a raw egg during a head-on collision. Measurements of distance traveled, time of run, vehicle specs, and photo gate flags are...

Here are nine motion problems for physics fanatics to solve. Topics are pretty typical: rifles firing bullets, freight train cars colliding, astronauts gliding through space, balls being thrown. Pupils compute recoil speed, combined...

Eight motion-related problems are contained in this physics assignment. Upcoming physicists calculate combined velocity after collisions, impulse, and momentum. They also address critical thinking situations, making this a well-rounded...

Simple momentum computations and more complex collision computations can be found on these two worksheets. All of them can be answered by choosing from five possibilities. The first learning exercise contains nine problems to solve,...

The Large Hadron Collider is the highest energy-particle collider that scientists have ever designed, but is it safe? Interviews with several scientists explain what it does, why it was built, and what we can learn from it. Show this in...

Students study the physical force of linear momentum by investigating collisions. They analyze the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. They calculate linear momentum.

Middle schoolers explore the concepts of potential and kinetic energy by bouncing assorted balls on different surfaces and calculating the momentum for each ball. They give examples of collisions and momentum in sports and understand...

Students investigate the role of ceremonies and other traditions of Native American cultures. They research various Native American nations and create posters that visually depict their research.

In this ideal gas worksheet, students read about the conditions necessary for an ideal gas to exist. They also read about the deviations from the ideal gas situation and answer four questions about ideal gases.

Students explain the law of conservation of momentum. In this physics lesson, students test this concept by playing marbles. They discuss how mass and velocity affects momentum.

Students examine how soil holds together and what the effect of particle size and water content is on soil.  For this engineering lesson students complete a lab, record their observations and discuss what they learned. 

Students learn about the concept of friction. In this friction lesson, students learn how friction from one object to another moves that object and creates energy.
