Students investigate the linear dimension change of heated plastic film and relate the results to processing and service use of the materials. They calculate percent change in dimension as related to anisotropy and molecular reorientation.

Do flexible circuits change dimensions during fabrication? Groups use GeoGebra software to measure the length of pictures of flexible nano-circuits. To determine if the circuits change dimensions, future engineers use Microsoft...

Scholars connect statistical analysis with flexible electric circuits. They first learn about flexible circuits and their applications through a PowerPoint presentation and then consider how the fabrication process for these circuits...

Here's a presentation that not only covers momentum, impulse, conservation of momentum in both one and two dimensions, angular momentum, torque, and the moment of inertia, but offers many applied guided practice problems as well.

Pupils apply their understanding of motion to 11 practice problems as part of a series on dimensional kinematics. They view a dot diagram animation and read descriptions to identify which match. As a bonus, the interactive offers...

Students work with "ice" in order to gain a practical application of math concepts that evolve into an inquiry-based study. They determine if the dimensions of the ice make a difference in the way the ice floats in the water.

It is plane to see that simple machines help reduce the force needed to perform a task.  This resource introduces three of the simple machines--the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw, and  the formulas in order to be able...

Students are introduced to the concepts of perimter, diameter, circumference and measurements. In groups, they complete two worksheets in which they determine if the ice dimensions make a difference in the way it floats. They discuss...

Motivate young scientists to stand up and take action with this environmental science lesson. To begin, the class works in small groups brainstorming actions that support the conservation of the earth before creating and implementing an...

Pupils investigate the affect shape has on the ability of a solar panel to collect sunlight.  In this collecting sunlight using a solar panel lesson, students determine which solar panel shape collects the most sunlight. ...

Students meet NASA researchers who describe the relationship between force, energy and motion. They discuss how NASA's experimental X-plane is being tested to make space travel more reliable and show how proportionality and ratios are...

Fifth graders observe and demonstrate measuring and comparing mass using a balance. They discuss the definition of mass and the units of measurement used, observe how a balance is used, and with a partner balance the baskets of the...

Students simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.

High schoolers work together to explain the VSEPR theory and how it relates to molecules. They name electron pairs that can surround the central atom of an organism. They discuss the factors that determine the polarity of a molecule as...

Seventh graders examine fossils.  In this vertebrate fossils lesson plan students view a demonstration.

Students complete a lab in order to discover if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affect the type of data collected and the resulting graph.

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe an elastic collision of two objects in one dimension, define internal kinetic energy, derive an expression for conservation of internal kinetic energy in a one-dimensional...

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter discusses collisions in two dimensions, what point masses are, how to calculate the conservation of momentum, what happens when two...

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter explains what happens during a one-dimensional inelastic collision, what a perfectly inelastic collision is, collisions in sports, and...

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter explains what happens during a one-dimensional elastic collision, what internal kinetic energy is and how it can be expressed, and how to...
