In this distance learning exercise, students determine the distance and displacement of a person who walked 40 m east and 100 m south. Then they determine the resultant velocity of a motorboat that heads due west at 10 m/s with a river...

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

Learners experiment with simple pendulums to determine the validity of an equation for all angles. Students discover the usefulnes and limitations of approximations in science. Using spreadhseets and a java applet, learners observe the...

Test takers stressing out over the upcoming exam? Help them prepare for the AP Physics i exam with this fast-paced video that includes a complete guide to everything related to kinematics. Also included are some common errors...

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

Young scholars calculate angular displacement, velocity and acceleration of gyrocopters. For this physics lesson, students compare data taken from 3 different gyrocopters. They explain how differences in construction material affect...

For this energy, work and power worksheet, students solve 12 problems about circuits, electric motors, Ohm's Law and electric currents.

Learners participate in a lesson that investigates Newton's Second Law of Motion. They conduct an experiment of observing balls that are rolled down a ramp. The lesson includes background information for the teacher for preparation and...

Accelerate young physicists' learning with this collection of problem-solving worksheets. Starting off by teaching students to identify the given information and variables in physics problems, this resource goes on to challenge them...

Scholars examine the application of torque in relation to motion by viewing a comprehensive presentation that explains the basic concepts related to torque and rotational motion. The lesson ends with examples showing how to calculate...

Students research articles about science technology and society. In this science and technology lesson, students answer questions about an article they chose. They share what they learned with their peers.

Students examine the mathematical relationship in scoring a basket. They observe the arc of the ball as it travels to the basket from different points on the floor.

A program that will randomly move an object from one location to another in three dimensional space. You must determine the length of the displacement vector that is created by this movement.

In this interactive site, students will begin to understand the rules of vector addition, subtraction, and multiplication and apply graphical methods of vector addition and subtraction to determine the displacement of moving objects.
