Sophia: Calculating Forces: Lesson 2

You might love this lesson plan, or you might not. Basically, high school scientists read through a script in which someone interviews a physicist, a biologist, and a chemist in regard to their use of nanotechnology. The names of the...

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

Class members use mathematics in order to better understand magnetic forces and their interaction on charged particles. After a demonstration of the interaction between a magnet and an electron beam using a CRT computer monitor,...

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

This lesson will demonstrate how to calculate the H+ concentration given the pH of a solution. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Calculating [H+]". [4:47]

How is tug of war related to pushing a refrigerator? Here's a simulation connects these two activities with Newton's First Law of Motion. Four different simulations allow scholars to explore net force with tug of war, motion with pushing...

A realistic simulation uses charts to show forces, position, velocity, and acceleration versus time based on how the simulation is set up. Once those concepts are mastered, scholars use free body diagrams to explain how each graph...

This lesson introduces the concept of normal forces. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Normal Force."

This lesson introduces the concept of contact forces. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Contact Force."
