This tutorial investigates pendulum motion and how a variety of quantities change over the course of time. Such quantities will include forces, position, velocity and energy - both kinetic and potential energy. Take the interactive...

Students must predict the distance traveled by a person on a sled. The person will start with potential energy due to gravity and it will turn into KE without loss. They will then lose their energy on a level surface at the bottom of a...

A handy resource that gives an overview of equations and definitions pertinent to an introductory, college-level physics course, with two of its three sections focusing on motion-related topics and principles.

With craft and recycled materials, kids can make all kinds of rolling vehicles. Add balloons to make this balloon car and see Newton's laws of motion in action.

In this hands-on activity students learn about the laws of physics by creating a marble roller coaster.

Students are introduced to the basic principles behind engineering and the types of engineering while learning about a popular topic - the Olympics. The involvement of engineering in modern sports is amazing and pervasive. Students learn...

Use animation and other interactive strategies to help understand physics principles. Change the track and height to see if your ball can make it to the end.

Examine the link between molecular motion and energy. Observe the movement of a molecule at room temperature. Learn about the different types of molecular motion.

For this experiment, pupils will design a track for a rolling ball to try to have the longest roll time possible. They will, in the process, apply their understanding of kinetic and potential energy, and acceleration and deceleration.

This site from NASA states Kepler's second law of planetary motion and depicts its meaning with an informative diagram. Relates the law to conservation of energy principles and discusses the eccentricity of a satellite's (or a planet's)...

Find out about the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and how they relate to the biology of life.
