Working in Space
Students design and build one of three engineering problems dealing with living and working in space.
Curated OER
Momentum
High schoolers learn the concepts of momentum and its conservation, using the recoil of a cannon as an example. They examine how momentum is a vector, allowing its conservation to be applied to problems in 2 and 3 dimensions.
Curated OER
Aristotelian and Newtonian Motion
High schoolers use a quotation from Einstein as a reference to categorize their descriptions as either Newtonian or Aristotelian. They discuss the idealized nature of the Newtonian approach. Students describe the events they observe...
Curated OER
Salinity
Learners define and discuss salinity, conduct classroom experiment to determine salinity of water sample by using hydrometer, record predictions, and demonstrate understanding of how salinity influences object's ability to float in water.
Curated OER
Newton's Second Law
In this Newton's law of motion worksheet, students review the concepts and equation associated with Newton's second law of motion. Students complete 7 matching and 5 true or false questions.
