Up, down, back, and forth. When you make a pendulum out of a spring, there's a lot to observe. Aspiring masters of motion examine the combined kinetic energies of spring and pendulum motion using a detailed interactive. Learners observe...

Where does the energy of an arrow come from? Is it from the person, the bow, or somewhere else? A simulation allows scholars to adjust the stretch distance and the elastic constant in order to understand where the energy comes from, what...

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

In this earthquake exploration worksheet, students complete 3 prior knowledge questions, then use "Energy Conversions Gizmo" to conduct several activities, completing short answer questions when finished.

An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

See how motion is converted and the energy associated with the motion is used to do work.

An interactive playground for students to explore the physics of roller coasters. Learners investigate by changing the variables of force, velocity, friction, and vectors. Energy bar charts are displayed as the coaster car moves along...

This interesting and interactive exhibit demonstrates how Newton's Laws of Motion impact the design and safety of roller coasters.

View a simulation of water flowing under a wheel that causes the wheel to rotate. Energy from the water is transferred to the wheel.

View a simulation of water moving over the top of a water wheel and causing it to move demonstrating the conversion of energy.

Change the mass of a suspended object to see how its movement and forces are affected by gravity.
