Third graders explore different types of trains. In this science lesson, 3rd graders study the "Orphan Train" and write a paragraph about what it would feel like to be riding a train during this time period.

Here are nine motion problems for physics fanatics to solve. Topics are pretty typical: rifles firing bullets, freight train cars colliding, astronauts gliding through space, balls being thrown. Pupils compute recoil speed, combined...

Fourth graders compare the difference between the mass of people, vehicles and trains in order to explain why it is important not to trespass on railroad tracks.

Students assume the role of members of the state fire marshal's office and develop a plan for the Fire Chief of Clayton on how the derailment of tank cars of propane in downtown Clayton should be handled. Students investigate any...

Students determine what an anemometer is and how it measures wind speed. They decide on a place to put a wind turbine by using an anemometer. They examine the role that engineers play when using wind speed to determine a place for wind...

In this impulsive force worksheet, learners calculate speed, force, and velocity for several word problems as it relates to the concepts in physics. Students also apply the momentum conservation equation to each problem.
