High schoolers apply their knowledge of the physics principles of force, energy and motion to researching the physics behind amusement park rides.

High schoolers distinguish between kinetic and potential energy. They recognize that energy can change from one form to other forms. They identify and describe several forms of energy.

In this physics worksheet, students visit the site http://sciencespot.net and complete a scavenger hunt for a variety of physics topics.

Young scholars name and recognize six types of simple machines. They use their research to design an amusement park ride that features different types of simple machines. Students create a brochure about their ride and how it works. ...

Young scholars read an article, brainstorm ideas and prepare journals investigating why people enjoy 'thrill' rides, what forces affect the body on these rides and how they can become dangerous.

Students research five types of chemical reactions in order to design a learning center. Students use technology to research and present their material.

Students study about the history, physical science, and safety issues involved in snowboarding.

This is a instructional activity presenting energy and work. It covers: types of energy, forms of energy, work, law of conservation of energy, and renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. In the activities section, one will find links...
