Students investigate Newton's Three Laws. For this Newton's Law lesson, students write the laws in their own words. Students then do an experiment with a ping pong ball. Students drop the ball from a set distance and record their...

Students explore momentum. In this physics lesson, students perform an experiment in which two balls are released on slanted boards while students observe which ball will go the farthest and the fastest. Students define and explain...

For this torque worksheet, students review the right hand rule for torque and use this information to complete 5 torque problems.

In this physics review activity, students review vocabulary words associated with speed, acceleration, Newton's Laws and simple machines, work and energy, magnetism, electricity, and harmonic motion and light. This activity has 92...

Students investigate how the motion of the Foucault pendulum proves that the Earth is rotating. They research the Internet about pendulums and conduct an experiment online. They view a multimedia presentation about pendulums and read...

Seventh graders serve as observors and calculate the height reached and time elapsed. In the science class students design, build, launch, and do a detailed analysis of the acceleration, speed, and force produced by water-filled 2 liter...

In this science learning exercise, students answer short answer questions about energy, Newton's law, gravity, and more. Students answer 29 science questions.

Students investigate the characteristics of simple machines. In this simple machine lesson, students investigate work as a product of applying constant force. They answer questions about what happens on Earth and what may have happened...

In this Isaac Newton instructional activity, students analyze ten words in a word box that pertain to Newton's Law. Students match these words to their definitions.

In this cooling model worksheet, students approximate solutions using Euler's method. They approximate piecewise linear equations. This six-page worksheet contains approximately 15 problems.

In this Newton's Law of Cooling, students estimate rates of change and solve initial value problems. This six-page worksheet contains approximately 15 multi-step problems.

Young scholars are divided into 6 groups with each group rotating to a different lab. The labs can be run over the course of a few days; or spread out for a longer period of time.

In this gravity worksheet, high schoolers complete these word puzzles by filling in the appropriate terms that answer the 11 clues given.
