Kids learn about speed and velocity in the science of physics and the laws of motion including units and measurement. What is the difference between speed and velocity?

This project is an experiment in classical physics. You'll be following in Galileo's footsteps, and investigating Newton's laws of motion, but you'll be taking advantage of modern video recording technology to make your measurements. The...

Dive into hands-on aerodynamics experiments and dynamic STEM activities that support core science lessons in force, momentum, and speed. This site provides teacher, student and video resources.

Determine how golf club head velocity affects shot distance. Make your next trip to the driving range educational by conducting this experiment.

A video camera records 30 "frames" or distinct images per second. (That's for an NTSC camera in the U.S. PAL cameras in other areas of the world take 25 frames per second.) You can use this fact to time events and measure velocity. One...

Explains what an anemometer is used for and the different models that have been developed since it was first invented.
