Basic Practice With Springs
For this springs worksheet, learners answer 14 questions about springs, spring constants, the acceleration of masses connected to springs, the elasticity constant of springs, the energy stored in springs and the speed at which masses...
Curated OER
Crash! Bang!
Students study the physical force of linear momentum by investigating collisions. They analyze the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. They calculate linear momentum.
Curated OER
Properties of Matter
In this properties of matter instructional activity, students answer 11 questions about the various properties of matter such as density, elasticity, malleability, and how hard or brittle a substance is.
Curated OER
Exploring Polygons and The Greedy Triangle
Excellent lesson plan! Anne Linehane's geometry story, The Greedy Triangle, offers an opportunity to practice forming various types of polygons with your learners. Using elastic bands (or Chinese jump ropes),...
Curated OER
Glass Transition in a Rubber Ball
Students illustrate the changes in the properties of a material at its glass transition point. They gather data which they use to construct graphs regarding elastic modules versus absorption modulus, tangent delta, and the effect of...
Physics LAB
Introduction to Springs
For this springs worksheet, students solve 14 problems given diagrams showing different springs. Students find spring constants, the kinetic energy of the springs, the elasticity constant and the speed of moving masses.
Curated OER
Review of Linear Momentum
In this linear momentum worksheet, students calculate force, impulse and momentum to answer 50 multiple choice questions. They identify elastic and inelastic collision.
Curated OER
Marketing Occupations
Students identify and explain the variables effecting supply and demand in the marketing industry. Then they define the terms supply and demand and graph supply and demand curves on a standard grid. Students also formulate what happens...
