Students research physical science by completing worksheets. In this gravity instructional activity, students read assigned text regarding the rotation of Earth and the gravitational force caused by the speed of which it rotates. Students complete a Frayer model regarding the information they read and conduct a class discussion.
High schoolers consider Einstein's theories of Relativity. In this physics lesson, students learn the questions that led Einstein to his theories. High schoolers then create "Einsteinian Thought Experiments" of their own. This lesson includes 3 videos and 1 interactive activity.
In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students determine the biological effects and the applications of nuclear chemistry. Then students use Einstein's theory of special relativity to complete 3 problems.
In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students are given the biological effects of nuclear radiation. They are also given a list of uses of nuclear chemistry and Einstein's theory of special relativity to calculate the energy change in three nuclear reactions.
Students research Albert Einstein and the two parts of the Relativity Theory.
Students study Faraday's law of induction and the equations that show how to calculate electromagnetic induction. In this electromagnetic lesson students complete several experiments on the law of induction.
Students solve problems of dilation and velocity. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems and relate it to time and velocity.
At the end of a general physics course focused on light and electricity, you can administer this exam. Concepts covered include electromagnetism, circuits, induction, light rays, lenses and mirrors, characteristics of light, electron energy levels, and radioactive decay. Questions come in a combination of styles, from multiple choice, to analyzing diagrams, to solving computational problems. Written for a college level course, this may also work well with high schoolers.
Students discuss friendship and what makes a good friend and a bad friend. In this friendship lesson, students get into a circle and say something nice to the person beside them. Students then draw a picture of what makes their friend special.
Discover the natural beauty of California. With a conservation bent, this activity delves into some of the attributes that make this state unique. Learners discuss Yosemite and the forest habitat. They focus on the things plants and animals need to survive.
