Learn and see examples of the distance formula.

Create an Atwood's machine and a modified Atwood's machine in this interactive. Change the amount of mass on either object, introduce friction forces, and measure distance and time in order to calculate the acceleration.

This Java applet allows the user to name any two points in a Cartesian system, see the segment on the screen and view how the distance between the two points is found.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students explore the concept of the distance formula by navigating through the interactive learning module and then answering questions that go along with the module. Students can also learn more about...

This resource explains why data collection is a great way to make informed improvements to a design, and how to do it. Data can be quantitative - such as a measurement of distance or time - or qualitative, such as an observation of...

Action at a Distance will enlighten learners studying electric fields. What are electric fields and what is the concept of action-at-a-distance? Take advantage of the interactive at the end of the reading.

This interactive exercise focuses on using the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate distance and plotting points on a Cartesian grid.

This article examines the positive and negative ways that technology impacts human interactions and relationships within families and with the wider world, as well as the implications the over-use of technology has on the growing child....

Learn how a translation moves or slides an object a fixed distance in a given direction, as defined by a vector.

Explore the concepts of rate, distance, and speed in this interactive lesson. Discover how to use formulas to solve word problems and calculate salaries. A concise lesson with excellent examples, connections to real world experiences,...

In this interactive, students use logic and mathematical skill to place aquatic animals at locations on a Cartesian graph with cardinal directions. Then, they determine both the vertical and horizontal distances between points. The...

Using these rate of speed problems practice figuring out either the distance, time or speed. Read the interactive quiz rules and then click on the "Begin" ticket. If you answer incorrectly you get one more chance to try again then you...

Measurement Teaching Theme provides an excellent collection of free sample worksheets, teacher resources, lesson plans and interactive media for the elementary grades.

An interactive simulation that teaches about waves, frequency, and amplitude by observing the waves and vibrations of a string while changing variables like distance, speed, fixed or unfixed ends, and more. This simulation can either be...

Manipulate the mass and distance of two objects to see how these properties change the gravity force.

Move the sun, earth, moon, and space station to see how it affects their gravitational forces and orbital paths. Visualize the sizes and distances between different heavenly bodies, and turn off gravity to see what would happen without it.

A web sketchpad activity helps students make sense of relationships between quantities, in this case the way that the distance a car travels around a Ferris wheel covaries with its "width" or horizontal distance from the center of the...

This learning module examines how the world has become smaller as time and space have converged. Transportation is much faster, making places more accessible, goods can be more quickly and easily transported, and the Internet connects...
