Students demonstrate direction of velocity of an object in circular motion. They discuss the mathematical formula, and demonstrate the formula using a string, rubber stopper and a target.

Young scholars use the reaction time to figure out problems. They use the following example to get them started with reaction time: the edge of a ruler is placed near a person's thumb and index finger and, without warning, the ruler is...

Friction is a force that can be felt, which means that learners with visual impairments can experiment to feel and understand the concept of friction. They slide a rock along a smooth table, and then they slide a rock across sandpaper,...

In this impulsive force worksheet, students calculate speed, force, and velocity for several word problems as it relates to the concepts in physics. Students also apply the momentum conservation equation to each problem.

Students discussion frictional force, kinetic friction, and static friction and the role each plays in acceleration and velocity in relationship to a car and the road on which it is traveling. Students complete lesson answering review...

Students create an accelerometer and take measurements of acceleration in a moving car. They study the car speeding up in a straight line, slowing in a straight line and curving at constant speed. They prepare a lab report showing...

In this harmonic motion worksheet, students use the equations for the speed of a wave and speed of sound to complete 9 problems and 9 fill in the blank questions.

Students, in groups, design and construct an air car capable of acceleration. They view a video on acceleration, test their cars and make adjustments as desired.

Tenth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people. In this tenth grade mathematics lesson, 10th graders investigate how throwing with an atlatl increase the speed of the dart as it is thrown. Students calculate the speed for...

In this mechanics worksheet, students determine the magnitude of the velocity of a given object, the initial speed of this object, plus find the maximum acceleration and the period of oscillation of the system given. This worksheet has 2...

Students explore concept of acceleration and motion under the influence of gravity, starting with free fall and ending with motions that start out with both horizontal and vertical initial velocities.

Young scholars examine the external variables that affect a downhill skier in the quest for speed. They access websites imbedded in this plan to become ski teams competing against one another. Each team presents results of all experiments.

In this forces worksheet, students explain how a car's motion is affected by different forces. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.

Students explore centrifugal and centripetal force. In this motion lesson, students expand on their knowledge of motion to study velocity, acceleration, and friction. Students examine multiple objects to demonstrate the laws of motion.

Students explore how Maglev trains work. In this technology instructional activity, students discuss the pros and cons of Maglev compared to conventional trains. They build a simple Maglev train model.

Students compare a stepper motor from a traditional motor. For this physics lesson, students summarize how it works. They build their own stepper motor and explore its uses.

Students explore tsunami through various hands-on activities. In this earth science lesson, students explain how they are formed. They create tsunami and earthquake models in the lab to observe how they are generated.
