Students investigate the area under a curve and the rate of change.

Ninth graders, after reading the explanation given below, complete the problem-solving activities to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts presented.

Ninth graders use FoilSim to fulfill the specifications of a given airfoil (wing) and plot and interpret graphs.

High schoolers use this introductory lab using a tennis racquet, however it is very difficult to study because of the strings and the racquet stretch so little and so quickly during a match that students were unable to make simple...

Students use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.

Students conduct online research to determine how and why artificial reefs are created, and investigate how they benefit marine life and the marine ecology.

Fourth grade reading students study art works by famous artists. They use various tools for learning about the artist, and they present their information by writing and speaking about the artist. They also create artwork in the style of...

Fourth graders examine the life and works of famous artists. Using the internet, they take notes and present their information to the class in an oral presentation. They create their own original artwork in the same style of their...

Young scholars explore the three branches of government. They create a graphic diagram to show each branch of government. Students include the qualifications for service and duties of each branch of government in their graphic diagram.

Learners look at a visualization of absorbed solar energy and discuss its role in maintaining surface temperature. They examine greenhouse effect and its role in maintaining a climate in which humans can survive.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Find out about the physics involved in the sport of archery. Watch this animation, then experiment with your own bow and arrow to see how the data changes.

What makes something start to move? What makes something stop moving or change direction? This hands-on lesson will show students that forces acting on an object have a strength and a direction that can be represented by arrows of...

A skill-building tool that presents students with twelve situations for which they must construct free-body diagrams. Force arrows allow user to toggle the magnitude of the force. Feedback is immediate; opportunities to correct answers...

Explore the interactions between various combinations of two atoms. Turn on the force arrows to see either the total force acting on the atoms or the individual attractive and repulsive forces. Try the "Adjustable Attraction" atom to see...

In this simulation, examine the electric force that a charged particle gains from nearby charged particles in a two-dimensional state. See the net electric force shown as an arrow attached to the particle.

Students are introduced to Newton's third law of motion, and then learn that engineers apply Newton's third law and an understanding of reaction forces when designing a wide range of creations, from rockets and aircraft to door knobs,...

Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. This animation depicts this by means of a vector arrow.

Learn to draw free-body diagrams in this simulation where you place arrows to indicate the directions that forces are acting on an object.

Students explore the motion of an object falling under the influence of air resistance. Force arrows and values are shown as the object falls, and a speedometer displays the speed of the object. The mass of the falling object and the...
