Viewers learn to recognize direct and inverse relationships in the world of physics with a presentation that reveals how to recognize a direct versus an inverse relationship from a formula or graph. After showing basic examples, the...

Are these two light sources the same? Groups use a white card and a little cooking oil to create a photometer that allows for the comparison of two lights. The Inverse Square Law provides a way to calculate the actual difference in...

Hopefully you have a sensor interface for your physics class to use with graphing calculators when collecting data with a light sensor. If so, read on. Use this resource for learners to predict and then test whether or not the intensity...

Get ready to spark interest in electromagnetic radiation! This resource shares nine indelible inquiries that you can choose from to ignite understanding of spectra and the relationship between light and heat. The assessments that follow...

Students determine the density of different substances. For this physical science lesson, students rank them according to their density. They discover the relationship between volume and density.

In this experimental relationship worksheet, students read about direct and indirect relationships between variables in experiments. They answer three questions about relationships between variables.

Students, after identifying and examining the relationship of temperature and air masses in association with smog and pollution, create a temperature inversion in a long aquarium jar. They experience what happens when smog builds up and...

Stability is key when building a bridge. Scholars explore the forces acting upon bridges through an analysis of Newton's Laws and Hooke's Law. The activity asks individuals to apply their learning by building a bridge of their own.

Students solve problems involving electric charges and force. In this physics lesson, student solve word problems using addition and subtraction of vectors. They identify the direction represented by a vector as it relates to an electric...

Students conduct a series of activity that demonstrates Charles' and Boyle's Law. In this chemistry activity, students determine the relationship among pressure, volume and temperature. They solve problems using mathematical equation.

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during the...

Children enjoy playing with silly putty, but it provides more than just fun. Young scientists make their own silly putty using different recipes. After a bit of fun, they test and graph the viscosity of each.

In this metric units worksheet, students convert measurements from one metric unit to another using dimensional analysis. They must show their work to receive credit.

Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Students determine the validity of Charles' Law. In this Charles' Law lesson plan, students measure the volumes of a gas at two different temperatures. They determine the volume at a high temperature and predict using Charles' Law what...

A full-fledged practice final prepares pupils for their general chemistry final exam. If they complete these 57 multiple-choice questions correctly, they will be well-prepared. Note: even though the questions are multiple-choice, there...

In this ideal gas law, molar mass and density activity, high schoolers read about how the molar mass and density of a gas can be determined from the ideal gas law. They solve five problems using the ideal gas law to find the pressure,...

Students take a quick examine part of the water cycle, and the combined gas laws. The instructional activity lead them through the conditions necessary for cloud formation and allow them to create clouds in three different hands-on...

Students learn the combined gas law, undersand how it incorporates all of the different relationships that they have already learned, and manipulate it to solve numberical problems.

Study explore the motion of maple seeds and design experiments to explain their spinning flight patterns. They make observations, explain ideas of motion, use models, analyze previous reports and experiments, identify relevant factors...

In this gases instructional activity, students review the kinetic molecular theory and use the ideal gas law to solve 20 problems.

In this rate graphing learning exercise, students graph four examples of rate vs. time. Then students complete 20 short answer questions.
