In this black holes worksheet, students use a formula for time dilation which causes delays in events that occur near the black hole. They solve 6 problems using the equation.

In this black hole worksheet, students use the equation for time dilation to solve 8 problems including determining the time it takes to receive a GPS signal from space, the time delay for the GPS-Earth system, the distance a radio...

In this P and S waves instructional activity, students use a Slinky to simulate P and S waves showing compressional and dilational motion.

Give pupils a magnifier, a mirror, and a flashlight so that they can examine their own pupils. As they shine a light on their eyes, the light is shone on how this structure dilates and contracts to control how much is allowed into the...

In this internal systems and regulation worksheet, students correctly decide if given statements are true or false. Students apply information learned about the circulatory system to the given statements to determine statements of truth...

In this biology worksheet, learners identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to the skin. There are 41 biology terms located in the word search.

Why can we see our reflection in a window but not a brick wall? Young physicists learn the Law of Reflection and various light properties that help them answer this and other questions about reflection. Use the PowerPoint to introduce...

What happens to radio waves, time, and light in and near a black hole? Young scientists explore what is known about observing frequency and time at various distances from a black hole. They control the size of the black hole and the...

Students calculate distance, velocity, acceleration and time on their fantasy trip to the black hold. They apply Newton's Laws of Motion and calculate circular motion. They discuss any questions that may arise.

In this black hole worksheet, learners read about how images fade to black when they reach an event horizon of a black hole. Students solve 3 problems about black holes using a given equation for luminosity. They find the time it takes...

Students read first hand accounts of earthquake survivors in order to begin the describe the different types of earthquake waves and the order in which they arrive. They engage in using earthquake waves as a means to indirectly study the...

In this human development activity, learners will review the three stages of birth and how your growth rate changes from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. This activity has 3 short answer questions, 4 fill in the blank, and 5...

In this biology worksheet, students look for the words that are part of the word search puzzle that is focused around the theme of the sheet embryology.

In this pregnancy worksheet, students review the 5 steps of human development from ovulation to implantation plus embryo development. Students also review the 3 stages of birth. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank, 4 drawing, and 3...

Students study the eye as the organ of vision, They look at a drawing of the eyes and study the names of the parts. While working with a partner, they observe what happens when the lights are turned lower and lower. Finally, they look at...

Using an example of light bouncing back and forth between two mirrors in a rocket, time dilation is explained in this resource. Step-by-step calculations using Einstein's time dilation equation are shown.

Here's a solved problem in time dilation. It's still not easy to follow, but it's doable. The math is not difficult, but the mathematical thinking is demanding.

A good mathematical account of what happens to time as you approach c: the speed of light. Also provides a rather a fascinating video (fly through the Lattice) - don't miss it. Take some time and explore this site.

College-level electrical physics course highlighting Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Course introduces the physics of Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the "twin paradox", and E=mc2. Course features suggested readings,...

This model permits manipulation of variables in order to observe the effects of time dilation on twin objects, one moving and one not, as shown in a spacetime diagram.

Time travel is a staple of science fiction stories, but is it actually possible? Colin Stuart imagines where (or, when) this fascinating phenomenon, time dilation, may one day take us. [5:04]

Review your understanding of relativity with this study guide.

Short and sweet definition and explanation of hyperons in the particle zoo. Nice info about time dilation making hyperon beams useful.

This page provides an incredibly detailed description of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Definitely an excellent website with great pictures and examples!
