An idea developed by a physical science teacher who applied Newton's Laws of Motion in creating a balloon powered race car. Find simple objective, materials, rules, and procedures.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this learning module, students must solve multi-step word problems involving time, speed, and distance. Includes video demonstrating a sample problem [1:02] and...

An interactive simulation that teaches about waves, frequency, and amplitude by observing the waves and vibrations of a string while changing variables like distance, speed, fixed or unfixed ends, and more. This simulation can either be...

This resource explains why data collection is a great way to make informed improvements to a design, and how to do it. Data can be quantitative - such as a measurement of distance or time - or qualitative, such as an observation of...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the horizontal distance travelled by a projectile. Students will be able to modify the starting height, initial speed and angle at which the projectile is fired....

Mapping the ocean floor must be done by indirect observation. One method involves bouncing a sonar signal off of the ocean floor and measuring the length of time this signal takes to return. This length can be translated into distance:...

Students must predict the final speed of the block on the incline after sliding down a certain distance. Students must account for the energy lost due to the friction between the block and the incline.

Calculate the final speed and the distanced covered by a car that is accelerating because of a certain set of forces acting on the car.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the speed of an electron and the time it takes an electron to travel the distance between two charged plates.

This lab is designed to have students discover the relationship between the work that is done by a force and the speed gained by the object experiencing the force. Students can adjust the strength of the force. They can decide how much...

Detailed illustrations and description of the quarter horse, known for its speed over short distances. Choose quarter horse from the list on the right.

In this video, students visit the Kentucky Horse Park where they are introduced to the question How are speed, time, and distance interrelated? The accompanying activity builds on a demonstration from the video of the length of Man o'...

In this Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity students use Riemann sums to estimate the distance traveled on a trip at various speeds. They utilize the concept of Riemann sums to calculate the area under a curve. Students find limits of...

Look to this site for many important numbers and conversion factors used between the metric system and the customary system, such as speed of light, body temperature, distance from sun to earth, plus more.

The big free-tailed bat has long, narrow, tapering wings. The length and shape of the wings give it speed and enable it to fly long distances, but its flight is not as maneuverable as that of bats with shorter, broader wings. Learn more...

A map from 1872 of Mexico, showing states and state capitals, major cities, towns, and ports, railroads, lakes and rivers, mountain systems, terrain, and coastal features. Steamship routes to major ports are shown, with distances marked...
