Discover the acoustical properties of brass instruments from this well researched site provided by the University of New South Wales. Everything from lip control to bell shape is discussed as it applies to frequencies and harmonics.

Student teams conduct an experiment that uses gold nanoparticles as sensors of chemical agents to determine which of four sports drinks has the most electrolytes. In this way, students are introduced to gold nanoparticles and their...

A lengthy set of lecture notes on the distinction between heat and temperature. The science of thermography is introduced; the Kelvin temperature scale is explained and compared to the Celsius temperature scale. The meaning of a triple...

The integrated circuit fueled the rise of microelectronics in the latter half of the twentieth century and paved the way for the Information Age. An American engineer, Jack Kilby, invented the integrated circuit in 1958, shortly after he...

This study information helps students apply Newton's third law and understand forces.

This article helps students understand and apply Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum.

This article helps students understand and apply the concept of gravity and Newton's Laws.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students can use this Flipchart to learn and apply Ohm's law to basic circuitry problems. Students are introduced to the relationship among voltage, current, and resistance, and then apply their newly...

A collection of audio lectures from an introduction to astrophysics course taught at the University of California, Berkeley. The course discusses the solar system, stars, quantum mechanics, gravitation, and cosmology focusing on how...

Reference material that reviews how objects rotate and can have linear momentum and angular momentum. Also, learn how the angular momentum of an object can change when torque is applied to an object over time.

Review how angular momentum is conserved if there is no external torque applied to a system. Specific scenarios are highlighted: system changing it rotational inertia, orbiting bodies, and rotational collisions.

Review the equations and skills related to gravitational potential energy at large distances, including how to apply conservations laws to objects in orbit.

Students are presented with a challenge question concerning color blindness and asked to use engineering principles to design devices to help people who are color blind. Using the legacy cycle as a model, this unit is comprised of five...

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 - 8 January 1642) was a Tuscan (Italian) physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope...

This lesson is for 9th grade physical science students. It begins with an inquiry-based lesson using a projectile motion computer simulation. It culminates with students building a catapult; applying and connecting science knowledge from...

The definition of a theory as it applied to science is explained in this brief article. "Explain It In 60 Seconds" is an article series that aims to summarize in a few paragraphs the meaning of different concepts in particle physics.

In this lesson, the students will work across the curriculum using technology, business education, and mathematics. They will form a company and use the physics of force and motion to build a hovercraft. The students will use this...
