Dynamics: What are Forces?
What's a force? No, not THE force. That's from Star Wars. I'm talking about the forces in the universe that make things move. Yes, I know Yoda moved the X-Wing with The Force. Will you quit it? We are talking about the real universe...
Professor Dave Explains
Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma
One of the best things about Newton was the way that he showed how natural phenomena abide by rigid mathematical principles. So much so that we can use mathematical equations to calculate how objects will actually behave. This equation,...
Curated Video
Newtons
This live-action video program is about the word newton. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word newton through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...
Professor Dave Explains
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
You thought we were all done with Newton, didn't you? You figured that three laws are enough for any scientist. Well think again! Newton was quite the champ, and his work with gravity was revolutionary. I mean, the guy invented calculus...

Force and Newton's Laws: Gravity
This video discusses the principle of force and the application of Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Students will witness the effect of friction on force and see how force is calculated. Other terminology includes: inertia, weight, mass,...
Curated OER
Video 6 - Gravity
Most people know the famous story of Sir Issac Newton and the apple. Watch that example animated, narrated, and explained. Class members can learn what gravity is, why it pulls things down, how strong it is, and how it's related to...
Curated OER
Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton's laws of motion are put into action as they are defined and demonstrated. Tennis balls, skateboards, and human bodies are all part of each example. Good definitions plus solid examples equals an informative video.

Phoenix Film and Video: Gravity, Force, and Work
Zog is introduced to Newton's basic laws of motion. By observing objects on earth and in space, Zog learns that nothing can start moving, speed up, slow down, change direction or stop unless a force is applied to it -- even if the force...
