Bscs: Forces and Motion Content Background Document
In this document, we will try to answer a fundamental question of physical science, "Why do things start to move, slow down, speed up, stop moving or change direction?" In answering these core questions we can develop concepts that can...

Walter Fendt: Uniform Circular Motion
This app simulates circular movement and demonstrates how the position, speed, acceleration, and the applied force vary depending on the time. You may choose the option "slow animation" to make the movement ten times slower. You can also...

Texas Instruments: Slow Down: Speed Up
In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to observe the effect of speeding up, slowing down, and moving at a constant rate on a Distance versus Time plot.

Physics 4 Kids: Mechanics and Motion
Motion is one of the key topics in physics. Everything in the universe moves. It might only be a small amount of movement and very very slow, but movement does happen. Don't forget that even if you appear to be standing still, the Earth...

Smile: How to Speed Up a Slow Grandfather: The Pendulum
In this lesson plan students are "given one hour to solve a problem that a has caused a huge drop in sales" for a clock company. All clocks are five minutes slow. Because of this, they must find a way to put the clock back on time...

Serc: Direction of Acceleration
In this short lab, students use Tonka trucks to observe the acceleration of a object as it initiates acceleration, maintains a steady speed, and slows to a stop.
