This activity utilizes hands on learning with the conservation of energy with the inclusion of elastic potential energy. Students use pogo sticks to experience the elastic potential energy and its conversion to gravitational potential...

This site from Georgia State University Physics Department defines and explains the concept of potential energy. Using equations and graphics to illustrate the idea, it discusses the many types of potential energy (gravitational,...

This lab demonstrates Hooke's Law with the use of springs and masses. Students attempt to determine the proportionality constant, or k-value, for a spring. They do this by calculating the change in length of the spring as different...

An activity where students demonstrate elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy by looking at the travel height of a ping pong when dropped vs a ping pong dropped with a "dropper popper".

The resource is a lesson guide that teaches how differentiation applies in mathematical economics. Topics include differentiation, elasticity applications, and optimization applications. PowerPoint slides are included on how to deliver...

In Lesson 3, as part of the Research and Revise step, young scholars investigate potential energy held within springs (elastic potential energy). Class begins with a video of either spring shoes or bungee jumping. Students then move on...

By taking a look at the energy of motion all around us, students learn about the types of energy and their characteristics. They first learn about the two simplest forms of mechanical energy: kinetic and potential energy, as illustrated...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This sim explains the concept of elastic and inelastic collision using two bumper cars. A PDF worksheet and a video tutorial are also available. [3:40]

By the end of this section, you will be able to discuss two-dimensional collisions as an extension of one-dimensional analysis, define point masses, derive an expression for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis, describe...

In this interactive activity adapted from Wake Forest University, students will observe the effect of mass on velocity and momentum in elastic and inelastic collisions. Includes background reading, a student handout, and discussion...

This site provides a great definition of "price elasticity of demand", along with formulas and examples. It also shows a perfectly elastic demand curve and a perfectly inelastic demand curve.

This page from the University of Winnipeg Physics Department and the three pages which are linked to it describe the relationship between the strain and the stress experienced by a material. The elastic modulus is defined and an equation...

This site provides a detailed study of income elasticity, which is how one's demand changes as income changes. It also gives good examples of normal and inferior goods.

An incredible site! This is an interactive textbook that clearly and concisely covers any topic you can think of under both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Select "Table of Contents" to begin.

The concept of potential energy is explained along with the two forms of potential energy: elastic and gravitational. Discusses what gravitational potential energy is, explains the direct relationship between it and mass and height, and...

A virtual collision track with colliding or exploding carts allows students to explore elastic and inelastic collisions. They can vary the mass and velocities of the two carts. An accompanying activity sheet which focuses on elastic...

This resource contains a lengthy list of definitions of a variety of material properties related to solid strength and elasticity. The definitions are accompanied by equations and metric unit information.

Covers the meanings of force, friction, and gravity, and the differences between magnetic and elastic spring force, and between weight and mass. The effect of air resistance on an object's motion is also touched upon.

Step-by-step instructions, with photos, of how to prepare an egg for a 'bungee jump' using a plastic bag and elastics, and a yard stick to measure the distance it falls each time it is dropped. The activity investigates the Law of...

Students examine how different balls react when colliding with different surfaces, giving plenty of opportunity for them to see the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions, learn how to calculate momentum, and understand the...

Areolar, dense, elastic, reticular, and adipose connective tissue are delved into in this effective site. The text is supplemented with pictures of the connective tissue.

A virtual collision track with colliding or exploding carts allows students to explore elastic and inelastic collisions. They can vary the mass of the two carts and their pre-collision velocities. An accompanying activity sheet which...

Explains what is meant by potential energy and demonstrates how to use the formulas for gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and electric potential energy. Includes interactive calculators for the first two formula...
