Students are introduced to the concepts of force, inertia, and Newton's first law of motion: objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.This lesson is the first in a series...

By taking a look at the energy of motion all around us, students learn about the types of energy and their characteristics. They first learn about the two simplest forms of mechanical energy: kinetic and potential energy, as illustrated...

This tutorial looks at the anatomy of the eye and how the sense of sight works. This is the first part of a learning module. Subsequent sections cover how images are formed and detected, the concept of accommodation where the eye adjusts...

This site provides great practice on the concept of order of operations. Students can first learn about the topic by watching a step by step instruction video that also points out areas of concern. Finally, students can practice their...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of inertia and how it applies to Newton's First Law. They also learn about Newton's Second Law and answer both numerical and conceptual...
