Work and Energy
Young scholars 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.
Curated OER
Running With Momentum
Young scholars discuss the conservation of momentum in a collision between two bumper cars. They are given the equation for momentum. Students then solve problems using the equation for momentum.
Curated OER
Model Mania
Eighth graders study the conservation of matter. In this chemical reaction lesson plan students examine what happens during a chemical reaction and complete a lab activity.
Curated OER
The Spin Doctor Is In
Students are given the difintion of translational motion, which is the object in motion stays in motion. If you are in a car and the car stops, you keep moving. They then discuss rotational motion, which is a spinning object continues to...

Particle Physics- Activity Five
In this particle physics worksheet, students use graphs and tables to predict the particles formed during a specific observation event. They complete 5 multi-part fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Running with Momentum
Students discuss the conservation of momentum in a collision between two bumper cars and an explosion between a bullet and the rifle's kickback, as well as collisions occurring in 2 dimensions and how they are all expressed mathematically.

Impulse and Momentum
Learners are introduced to the concepts of impulse and momentum and problem solving strategies for these types of problems. In groups, they discover the law of conservation of momentum and share their answers with the class.
Curated OER
Pendulum Lab
Learners predict how changing the pendulum components affect its period. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate the period using different masses. They analyze lab result and complete assigned worksheet.

Ice Ain't Easy
High schoolers are told that objects in contact with one another reach an equilibrium temperature. A hot object placed in a cool liquid always cool off. It never happens that the object gets hotter and cool liquid gets colder. Students...
Curated OER
The Spin Doctor Is In
Students are introduced to rotational inertia with some example of objects that rotates: Throw a Frisbee acroos the field and it rotates as it moves. The same is true for a baseball and a football. The two motions, translational and...
