Curated OER
Swinging Pendulum
Students engage in an activity which demonstrates how potential energy (PE) can be converted to kinetic energy (KE) and back again. Given a pendulum height, students calculate and predict how fast the pendulum will swing by understanding...
Curated OER
Acceleration of Gravity with Pendulums
Learners explore, analyze and study to see whether the length of a pendulum affects its period and whether the mass of a pendulum affects its period. They review and discuss a lengthy list of math definitions and experiment with tables...
Curated OER
Graphing Pendulum Results
Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...
Curated OER
Time That Period
Physical science starters play with a pendulum in order to experience periodicity. Detailed procedures and a worksheet are included for day one. For day two, learners will use a graphing calculator to help them plot orbit data from a...
Curated OER
The Pendulum
Middle schoolers discover and discuss relationships and functions between varying dependent variables and how they affect the period of the pendulum. They use graphing calculator to express the data collected in a graph, to analyze the...
Curated OER
Swing in Time
Students examine the motion of pendulums and come to understand that the longer the string of the pendulum, the fewer the number of swings in a given time interval. They see that changing the weight on the pendulum does not have an...
Curated OER
Stars and Slopes
More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....
Curated OER
The Swinging Pendulum
Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.
Curated OER
Strings and Springs
Ninth graders explore physics with springs and strings. In this force and motion lesson, 9th graders rotate through four stations exploring how various springs stretch and bounce, and how mass and length affect a pendulum's swing. They...
Curated OER
Rock-A-Bye Pendulum
Third graders use the scientific process to explore the effects of force on an object in motion. They demonstrate that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater the change in speed or direction of the object. They...
Curated OER
The Robot Artist--Aaron
This is a creative multidisciplinary activity which will involve students in art, technology, and psychology. Students learn about Harold Cohen who created a robot programmed to create art. Students will also enjoy the sand pendulum...
Purdue University
The Represented World: Recreational STEM
How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...
Curated OER
Frequency vs. Size
High schoolers identify and interpret sound as a vibration and what period and frequency are. They also divide the various types of objects so that all objects are explored and the procedures are determined by the students.
Finally,...
Curated OER
Physics: Eigenvalues
Students solve problems by discovering the eigenvalues that satisfy design questions. They explain how relaxing a small angle approximation can change the solution. Students apply the numerical model of pendulumm motion to solve the...
Curated OER
Series Solution of the Time-Independent Schrödinger Equation
In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the problems that apply the time-independent Schrödinger equation. They examine the relationship between the mass and energy.
Curated OER
'Tis a Long, Long Way to Tipperary!
Students practice finding the location of cities across the world by using an interactive Web site, and figure out the world's time and the value of time zones the world over.
Curated OER
The Oscillation Period of Gaseous Spheres
In this oscillation period worksheet, students read about how the force of gravity effects the oscillation of bodies. Students use two given formulas to identify the oscillation period of the sun, the Earth and a neutron star.
Curated OER
Properties of Logartihms
In this algebra worksheet, students apply the properties of logarithms. They solve word problems using the properties of logs and apply the formula for interest to solve money problems. There are 3 problems with an answer key.
Curated OER
Worksheet 22 - Spring 1996
learners examine the potential of creating the involute for a circle. They use the concept to create new parametric equations. They graph the picture for each.
Curated OER
Integrated Algebra Practice: Square Roots
In this square roots worksheet, students calculate the square roots of whole numbers and rational numbers. Seven problems have multiple choice answers. The remaining 13 problems are short answer. One problem involves graphing a function....
Curated OER
iChat AV and iSight Camera
Young scholars interact with science and math classes around the world by doing the same experiment and communicating their results. They use iChat AV and an iSight camera to share relevant information about their area, decide on the...
Curated OER
Navigation
Students study the basic methods for finding one's position on Earth. Latitude can be deduced from the height above the horizon of the pole star or of the noontime Sun, while longitude requires an accurate clock giving universal time.
