Students interpret a variety of motion graphs. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate the speed and acceleration of objects using numerical data from graphs. They apply what they have learned to solve real world problems.

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

Learners explore physics concepts such as velocity, acceleration and speed to create a model of a safe roller coaster. They design and conduct a lab to demonstrate the properties of an object fired horizontally and at an angle.

Ninth graders research weapons of the Aboriginal people and throw a dart with and without the use of an atlatl. In this cross curricular lesson, 9th graders research the weapons of the Aboriginal people. They throw darts with and without...

Students explore Newton's three laws of motion using a variety of activities. In this physics lesson, students calculate the average speed of a vehicle they constructed using distance and time information. They identify and draw the...

Young scholars discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.

Students construct a car based on directions given. In this physics lesson, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Learners relate algebra to real life scenario. In this algebra instructional activity, students design a plan to help traffic flow smoothly using velocity and speed. This assignment is done using Microsoft Excel.

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students explore how Maglev trains work. In this technology activity, students discuss the pros and cons of Maglev compared to conventional trains. They build a simple Maglev train model.

Fourth graders study about sound waves and how they behave in various media. They create a soundproofed container. They explain that velocity describes a change in distance over time.

Students solve several differential equations. In this calculus instructional activity, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.
