Students construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket. They measure the distance...

Students construct and test balloon rockets and a model rocket. In this rocket science activity, students use an inquiry-based method to master balloon rockets and have a shoot-off with the goal of attaining the highest altitude. Next,...

Students investigate action and reaction. In this energy lesson, students use a  balloon and string to create a simple rocket. The will collect quantitative data record their observations, and relate their observations to Newton's...

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

In this counting money worksheet, students count the total amount of coins, then read word problems telling amount of purchases, cross off the coins needed to pay for the purchases, and count the remaining coins. Students solve four word...

Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols and solve for the related rates. There are 10 word problems involving derivatives and rates.

Students explore the concept of air. In this gravity lesson, students perform various experiments that deal with gravity, air resistance, and air pressure.
