Curated OER
Motion and Inertia
Physics learners make magic with inertia! By pulling paper out from under a stack of blocks or batting a rubber ball into motion, physics scholars' eyes will be opened! Don't think that this instructional activity is only fun and games;...
Curated OER
Review of Kinematics
In this kinematics review worksheet, students complete 50 multiple choice questions on average speed, velocity and acceleration.
Curated OER
Review of Dynamics
In this dynamics worksheet, students calculate speed, acceleration and forces to complete 50 multiple choice questions on kinematics.
Curated OER
Motion: Speed, Velocity, Acceleration and Networking
Students interpret a variety of motion graphs. In this physics lesson, students calculate the speed and acceleration of objects using numerical data from graphs. They apply what they have learned to solve real world problems.
Curated OER
Kinematics Along with Work/Energy
In this kinematics, work and energy instructional activity, students solve 16 problems given a diagram of a moving ball that has been launched. Students find the trajectory of the ball, the velocity of the ball and its potential and...
Curated OER
Sciences Working Together
Young scholars research articles about science technology and society. In this science and technology instructional activity, students answer questions about an article they chose. They share what they learned with their peers.
Curated OER
Projectile Motion II
Learners explore projectile motion and kinematics in two dimensions. They determine, using an adjustable projectile launcher, what angle makes a projectile go the highest.
Curated OER
2D Kinematics w/ String Racers
Students calculate the speed of string racers. In this physics lesson, students measure the time in several trials and get the average. They graph their results using a spreadsheet.
Curated OER
Rocket Racer
Students design their racer then trace their designs onto Styrofoam tray and athen attache a balloon to a strw which is attached to the "car" to construct a rocket propelled "car." They collect data to determine the speed and the...
Curated OER
Bounce (Projectile Motion And Collisions)
Students analyze the motion of an object as it moves through a complex path that includes rolling, falling, and bouncing. They answer questions related to what forces are acting at any given time.
