Students investigate forms of energy. In this physical science energy lesson, students work with a partner classifying household items according to the type of energy they have. Students complete a related worksheet.

In this science worksheet, learners read about enzymes and nutrition. Students also answer 2 comprehension questions about the reading.

Young scholars calculate the escape velocity of planets in our solar system and use that knowledge to calculate the escape velocity for NGC 2300 group. They then suggest reasons for the escape velocity to be higher than possible given...

Young scholars identify different kinds of energy such as heat energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, and magnetic energy. They investigate the concept of conservation of energy.

Guide your chemistry class through the periodic table so that they are able to identify atomic radii, electronegativity, and ionization energy. Give them three metals to place in water to observe reactivity. Teach them to write electron...

Students study water and its energy. In this water energy lesson, students discuss hydroelectricity and make models of water turbines.

Here is a comprehensive and cohesive final exam for your high school physicists. A variety of question styles are incorporated, such as multiple-choice and problem-solving. Topics are too many to list, so you will want to review the exam...
