[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use this opportunity to understand accelerated motion in two dimensions, free fall.

A Java-based simulation where students can observe what happens to a free-falling object, with and without air resistance. Controls allow the user to adjust settings and the results are graphed as the simulation progresses.

In this physics tutorial, the motion of a free-falling motion will be represented using position versus time and velocity versus time graphs.

Students practice applying free fall concepts to problem-solving in this interactive physics tutorial.

In this physics interactive lecture demonstration, students will predict what will happen if a plastic bottle, filled with water and having a hole near the bottom, is dropped. Will the bottle fall at the same rate as the water inside the...

A demonstration involving an elephant and a feather and explanation of why all objects maintain the same acceleration in the state of free fall without any air resistance.

This activity assesses students' knowledge and understanding of free fall principles.

Uses the movie "October Sky" as an introduction to the study of free fall motion functions. Acts a summation activity to a quadratic unit in Algebra. Solve quadratic equations by graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula.

Use this printable physics worksheet which allows learners to practice problems describing motion in a free fall.

This lesson explains how Newton's second law of motion can be used to understand free fall. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Newton's Second Law of Motion & Free Fall."

In this activity, students will measure the acceleration of a freely falling body (g) to better than 0.5% precision with the help of a Picket Fence and a Photogate.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between position and velocity for a model rocket during launch and in free-fall. Experiment with rocket mass, rocket thrust, and rocket burn time to understand the...

A learning module where students gain an understanding of the relationships between the different kinds of motion. Students will be able to explain free-fall motion and use kinematics equations to calculate problems involving falling...

Using the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT kit, students construct experiments to measure the time it takes a free falling body to travel a specified distance. Students use the touch sensor, rotational sensor, and the NXT brick to measure the time of...

Animated simulation re-enacts Galileo's experiment of dropping objects off the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

In this activity, students will determine the average speed of a falling object. They will observe whether or not changing the mass and keeping the same shape have an effect on the average speed of the object.

This site from NASA compares free falling motion to falling with air resistance. Discusses Galileo's experiment. Explains why we believe all objects free fall with the same acceleration.

Students understand the physics of a free falling object through these illustrated example problems.

Learners examine motion with words, equations, diagrams, and graphs. Some topics investigated are position, velocity, acceleration, and free fall. The tutorial consists of lessons and problems to check for understanding.

Selected (12) reading passages (grades 6-11) to pair with "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. In this classic novel, Okonkwo, a wealthy and respected member of the Umuofia clan, resists the forces of change brought to Africa by...

[Free Registration/Login Required] A poem by Emily Dickinson about the uncertainty of time. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this learning module, students compare decimal numbers to see which one is between the two that they are given. Includes video demonstrating a sample problem...

The concept of air resistance is discussed in terms of why a heavier object falls faster than a lighter object when both dropped from the same height. In this discussion and animation, an elephant and feather are used as examples.

In this activity, Students can use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.
