Elements of Physics: Energy And Work
Students examine the difference between potential and kinetic energy. In this energy instructional activity students view a video and apply these energies to real world situations.
Curated OER
Review of Work, Energy and Power
In this physics activity, students complete 50 multiple choice questions on physics. They determine the magnitude of work, energy and power.
Curated OER
Motion Experiment
Students experiment with the laws of motion. For this motion lesson, students explore Newton's Laws of Motion. Students work in groups experimenting with different objects and observing different types of motion.
Curated OER
Seeing Mathematics in the Forces of Nature
Students study waves and their characteristics. In this wave lesson students calculate the speed of waves, wavelength and the period.
Curated OER
Work
Use these slides to review the concepts involved with work. If the students have had practical experience and a basic understanding of physics, then these pages will help outline the basics and reinforce newer applications. There is one...

Accelerated Frames of Reference: Inertial Forces
High schoolers examine how when applying the laws of motion to an object in an accelerating frame, using coordinates defined in such frame, one must always add an "inertial force", representing forces caused by the frame's acceleration.
Curated OER
Four Forces of Flight
Students explore the four forces of flight. They investigate the four forces of flight: lift, drag, thrust and weight (gravity). They experiment with flight-testing various objects commonly found around the house and constructing paper...
