Students investigate Newton's Third Law of Motion. In this Newton's Third Law of Motion lesson, students explore the law in the real world. Students break down the definition for understanding and do an experiment using a balloon.

In this electricity worksheet, students answer 17 questions about charges on atoms, their number of protons and electrons, the attraction of atoms or objects when charged, the electricity between two objects, grounding and insulating.

Students design and build their own car. In this physics lesson, students collect data to determine the speed of the car. They plot the data on the graph analyze the relationship between variables.

Playing with balloons, water, oil, and bottles help put this lesson over the top! Participants use air-filled balloons in water tanks to experience gas compression. They also use oil-filled bottles to experiment with buoyancy. Included...

For this chemistry olympiad lab worksheet, chemists are required to design two experiments. In one, they design an experiment to identify seven solutions given to them in pipettes. In the other, they design an experiment to determine the...

Students examine static and current electricity, and discuss what their lives would be like without electricity. They listen to a teacher-led lecture about electrons and atoms, and explore static electricity using a comb or a balloon...

In this Newton's challenge instructional activity, students demonstrate their understanding of Newton's laws by performing several mini labs. Students answer questions that ask to describe the movement of each demonstration using...

Fourth graders examine how sound waves are effected by frequency and pitch. They conduct experiments using tuning forks, rubber bands, balloons, and water, and answer questions about the experiments.

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.

Students create various musical instruments out of everyday and recycled items.

Students identify the different types of friction. In this physics lesson, students explain how weight affects friction. They calculate normal force and coefficient of friction using a mathematical formula.

Students conduct experiments with balloons, pennies, marbles and cups to help them understand the concept of centrifugal force or Newton's Law of Motion.

Young scholars construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket. They measure the...

Oceanographers participate in a memorable hands on experience about buoyancy. They build a model of a submersible using a plastic bottle and a balloon. Afterward, they answer assessment questions. An answer key and some terrific...

Begin with an introduction to famous deep-sea submersibles. Learners work in groups to gather information on different vessels and then share with the class. Each group then uses water displacement to help calculate the density of...

Students practice volleyball skills using a balloon to volley with a two-handed underhand pattern while keeping the balloon in their self-space.

Students practice overarm throw/stricking pattern, particularly: opposition in the legs, increased trunk rotation, preparatory back swing, and uncoiling of trunk, humerous and forearm.

Seventh graders are introduced to Newton's Third Law of Motion.  In this physics activity students examine the concept of thrust as one of the forces acting on aircraft. 

Students use inquiry and observation to explore Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is a reaction. In this physics lesson, students rotate through six stations set up with materials and picture directions illustrating an...

Learners represent quadratic equations using different methods. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve quadratics using substitution, elimination and graphing. They relate quadratics to the real world.

Learners examine ways positive and negative charges are attracted and repelled by watching teacher demonstrations, and complete activity sheet related to classroom demonstration activities to prove proficiency of knowledge of...

Middle school chemists visit interactive websites in order to discover what happens to molecular motion when heat is added to matter. They conduct an experiment that demonstrates the expansion of matter with the addition of heat. A lab...

Students use a balloon, cardboard support, and wooden ping pong channel to complet an experiment to answer the question "Does Air do Work?" They complete a worksheet to demonstrate knowledge of the concept after the lab.

Young scholars observe that air exerts pressure, that heated air expands and that cooled air contracts. After the demonstration, students engage in a question and answer session about what they saw.
