NBC Learn, in partnership with the United States Golf Association, uncovers the science, technology, engineering and math behind the game of golf. For lesson plans provided by the National Science Teachers Association, open the video and...

Expanding gases are everywhere, from the kitchen to the cosmos. You've tasted their pleasures every time you've eaten a slice of bread, bitten into a cookie, or sipped a glass of soda. In this chemistry science fair project, you'll...

Hooke's law says that the opposing force of a spring is directly proportional to the amount by which the spring is stretched. How accurately Hooke's law describe the behavior of real springs? Can springs be used to make accurate scales...

In this lesson, young scholars watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation. It includes formative...

Use this tutorial to understand Dalton's Law of partial pressure, and then answer some interactive practice questions to review the material.

In this lesson, students watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation.

Through informational text, interactive practice problems, virtual simulations, and video clips, students learn about the gas laws.

Explore the first and second law of thermodynamics as it applies to the body in this article.

In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

In this electronics science fair project, students will make a simple dimmer switch and investigate the relationship between the resistance in the circuit and the amount of light produced. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up...

Build your own windmill and see how the wind can be converted into energy to produce electricity. This science fair project should help you understand the use of wind as a source of alternative energy. The Science Buddies project ideas...

Working in beautiful scenery is just one of the perks of being a park ranger. This Science Buddies site lays out the requirements needed to become a park ranger, as well as the education and job description. Included are interviews with...

Did you know that not all trains run on tracks? Some of the world's fastest trains are magnetic levitation trains (maglev). This means that the carriage of the train is suspended over the rails with no support, but only with magnetic...

Do you read the list of ingredients in foods and drinks before you buy them at the grocery store? If you do, you may have noticed that many of the items that are blue in color have the same dye, called FD&C blue 1. In this chemistry...

In this science fair project, use a calorimeter with an attached heating element to measure how water responds to added thermal energy.

Looks at how Newton's three laws of motion apply to an analysis of the forces being exerted when playing football.

Instructional module focusing on energy. Discussion includes forms of energy, conservation of energy, and the laws of thermodynamics. Site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

A collection of mechanics activities. Many pertain to Newton's laws of motion. Step-by-step directions provided with illustrations. Great for teacher demos or student projects.

Students learn what a pendulum is and how it works in the context of amusement park rides. While exploring the physics of pendulums, they are also introduced to Newton's first law of motion - about continuous motion and inertia.

Learners will build a multi-stage balloon rocket that they can launch across the classroom while learning about real space flight and Newton's laws of motion.

A quick review which explains the concept of a scientific law, and discussed the impact of such laws in the work of science.

This article examines how the commercialization of scientific discoveries leads to conflict between proprietary rights to intellectual property, trade secrecy, and the maintenance of scientific norms. The first two inhibit the...

Learning module looking at scientific explanations. Discussion covers theories and how they develop, some well-known theories and their origins, and how theories are revised and refined. Also, covers hypotheses and laws. The three...
