Gravity

Stop wasting energy searching for physics resources, this comprehensive collection of worksheets has you covered. Starting with introductions to the scientific method, dimensional analysis, and graphing data, these skills practice...

This video highlights three experiments that change the way people think about the world. First up, scientists measure gravity. Next, it discusses the debate surrounding whether light is a wave or a particle. Finally, the atomic model...

Don't fall for these common misconceptions about falling objects! Using two sports balls with different masses, the interviewer demonstrates in a brief video the forces at work. Participants marvel as a much-heavier medicine ball lands...

Some commonly accepted concepts are not completely valid. In this video, the following ideas are thoroughly explained away: Light cannot be effected by gravity Velocity is additive The earth appears to be flat Not only is this an...

"It's not magic. It's physics!" Here is a short video that explores the physics behind the fouetté—the most difficult move in ballet.

For this physics interactive lecture demonstration, students will predict what will happen if a plastic bottle, filled with water and having a hole near the bottom, is dropped. Will the bottle fall at the same rate as the water inside...

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains multiple...

Astronauts on the ISS continuously fall in a curve thanks to gravity. A video describes the idea of falling along a curved path. Using computer animations, an apple demonstrates the warping of spacetime while the narrator explains the...

Step into the strange world of antimatter with an entertaining, yet educational physics video. Follow along to see how recent developments in physics research have allowed scientists to begin learning more about these elusive particles.

Although gravity is something everyone experiences, many have misconceptions tied to the concept. A PD lesson from the Good Thinking series explores misconceptions and how to correct them. The lesson also offers ideas for demonstrations...
