For this earthquake exploration worksheet, students complete 3 prior knowledge questions, then use "Energy Conversions Gizmo" to conduct several activities, completing short answer questions when finished.

Learners explore physical education by completing a quiz in class. In this engineering lesson, students identify different ways engineering has made sports safer such as stronger padding and helmets, stronger equipment and smarter...

Students studykinetic energy, friction, drag and acceleration by relating it to the Winter Olympics.  In this physical properties lesson plan students create tracks and determine how the course conditions affect bobsled, luge...

Students, working in expert groups, study a form of energy. They plan a slide show presentation using pictures, clip art, and student taken digital pictures that show the energy type they have become experts in. They use a planning sheet...

Eighth graders investigate the concept of force and motion while conducting short class activities. They compare the differences of potential and kinetic energy while rolling objects on a ramp. Students also measure the distance that...

Students show that energy is conserved in the laboratory. They calculate the work done by a force on an object as the product of the force and a displacement of the object from a reference point.

Students discuss anaerobic respiration and how it relates to sprinting. After discussion of related processes, students create a brochure that explains the complex processes behind every muscular interaction.

Ninth graders create a model of a hydroelectric generator. In this physics instructional activity, 9th graders discuss how energy can be transformed from one form to another. They make a flow chart for different energy generating plants.

Students construct a model airplane, measure distance, and calculate velocity.  In this creative lesson students work in groups to build a model and use it to calculate distances and velocity.

Students experiment on Boyle's law using balloons and other common materials. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the relationship between pressure and volume. They solve problems relating to Boyle's Law.

In this math worksheet, students use the following descriptions of a spring system to write a differential equation of the form my + γy + ky = F(x).

Learners measure the voltage discharge of robots as the motors are used. In this physics instructional activity, students explain how to use a multimeter to measure voltage. They graph the voltage change over time and present their...

Young scholars observe washers of different weights roll downhill and observe what happens and what rate each of them travels. In this rate of travel lesson plan, students see the cylinders and discuss what happened after the race.

Fifth graders explore energy transfer. In this thermal energy activity, 5th graders stretch rubber bands several times and estimate the band's temperature change. Students identify this action as an example of thermal energy. Students...

Students research automobile operating systems in relation to racing. They design and construct vehicles from recycled material which they race to study the concept of propulsion.

Students examine the energy conversions and simple machines are involved in the operation of a steam engine. They make a replica of a small steam engine.

In this science activity, students fill in the blank for 15 sentences about chemical energy. For example, "Chemical bonds hold_."

Students explore the properties of electricity. This lab shows students the need for a circuit in order to have a flow of electricity. It demonstrates Ohm's law, which relates voltage, current, and resistance.

Students explain how conservation of energy applies to roller coasters. In this physics lesson, students construct their own coasters according to a specified criteria. They make modifications to their design when necessary.
