In this travel time of light worksheet, students read about the NASA satellites and space probes that transmit radio signals at the speed of light across huge distances. Students solve 3 problems about data transmission from space to...

In this acceleration learning exercise, students solve 14 problems including finding work done on an object, the speed of an object, the distance traveled and the acceleration.

In this meter worksheet problem, students read a word problem and interpret a graph.  They use the derived information to determine time and distance.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problem.  Answers are...

Fifth graders give examples of objects that move slow and fast. For this physics lesson, 5th graders rank animals according to how quickly they move. They create a bar graph of organisms versus rates of speed.

Fifth graders utilize basic physics concepts to calculate speed of an object set in motion from various heights. For this basic physics lesson, 5th graders make observations, calculations, record data, and conclusions throughout experiment.

Young scholars work in teams conducting an experiment that demonstrates why the height of an inclined plane affects the speed at which an object travels. They record data on a chart and calculate speed to reveal the results of three...

Students use everyday materials (milk cartons, water bottles, pencils, straws, candy) to build a small-scale transportation device that incorporates the wheel and axle and the lever. They race their carts/trucks, measure distance, time...

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite a word problem using algebraic symbols. They calculate the distance flown before the impact of the two objects occurs. An answer key is provided.

In this momentum learning exercise, students calculate the velocity, distance traveled, or speed for different objects. This learning exercise has 10 different word problems.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the rate or time using the appropriate units.    The one page worksheet contains a combination of six multiple choice and free response questions.  Answers...

Students distinguish between kinetic and potential energy. They recognize that energy can change from one form to other forms. They identify and describe several forms of energy.

In this graphing linear motion worksheet, students answer 20 questions about velocity of objects, the distance they travel and the time. They interpret a graph of position vs. time and identify the velocity at certain point on the graph.

Students explore the concept of "shape affects speed" through a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students participate in an experiment in which various objects are released on an inclined plane. Speed and distance are...

Learners explore the concept of the formula for distance. In this formula for distance lesson, students time battery operated cars with constant velocity over 15 meters. Learners use the distance = rate x time formula to determine the...

In this acceleration worksheet, students practice determining acceleration, distance traveled, velocity and time given 5 problems with different scenarios.

Second graders investigate how objects can move in different ways. They move in different ways across the room and develop a class list of movement words. Students also conduct a measuring motion experiment, create a bar graph for the...

Third graders analyze the effects of force on an object in motion and its relationship to a change in speed. This lesson uses a pendulum to demonstrate the principle.

Learners are posted at the beginning and end of a 10-meter long line parallel to the ocean and are instructed to look straight ahead towards the water. The student at the beginning of the line uses a stopwatch, goes to the water's edge...
