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...

Cliff diving is more than an adrenaline rush ... it's a lesson in physics! Scholars adjust the height of a cliff and plot the resulting velocity and position over time on graphs. They also can incorporate air resistance to monitor the...

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

This lab/learning activity is designed to introduce students to some of the basic terms with circular motion. They will be introduced to rpm, frequency, period, angular frequency, speed and velocity. It is hoped that students will be...

This lab is designed to have students learn the factors affecting the RMS velocity for a sample of gas. The student will be able to set the temperature of the environment and the mass of the particles.

Solve problems using vectors that involve velocity, speed, direction, and magnitude. Includes examples and practice problems. Click on the buttons under the practice questions to see the solutions.

In this physics lab students look at conservation of energy to find the horizontal velocity of a sphere in order to predict where it will land.

This lab is designed to have students discover the relationship between the work that is done by a force and the speed gained by the object experiencing the force. Students can adjust the strength of the force. They can decide how much...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the maximum speed a car can go around a turn. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, radius of the turn and the initial speed...

This lab activity involves rolling a marble down a ramp where the students can investigate constant acceleration motion. The students then make a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph in order to investigate the change in...
