Set youngsters in motion when studying forces. This quick animated film stars Sam and Mia, two intelligent but cool kids who talk about forces and motion on the soccer field. Consider using this resource when preparing junior-high...

Define six common forces: propulsion, air resistance, water resistance, friction, gravity, and upthrust. A picture of a Smart Car is displayed with arrows showing all of the forces acting on it when it is motion. A picture of a rubber...

Physics plays a role in most sports, and curling is no exception! A video explains how a curling team controls the friction between the stone and the ice to modify its movement.

How do you help your pupils understand the relationship between energy and forces? The video tackles standard PS3C using a concept map and demonstrations. The narrator also provides key vocabulary scholars should master at each grade level.

Why is it easier to move a heavy object once you initially begin? Help your class explore the differences and similarities between static and kinetic friction as they view the informative video segment about motion. They learn about each...

Occasionally, a short PowerPoint is still able to get many important facts about friction and motion across. The consequences of friction on movement and the terms used to describe it such as drag or viscosity are covered. The only...

This video is amusing! It displays pictures and the lyrics of a song, "Friction," recorded in the late fifties or early sixties by Tom Glazer and Dottie Evans. Your physical science classes will be singing it for the rest of the school...

Each of the slides here gives a definition, equation, or calculation example for a component of force and motion. This large collection covers topics from momentum and Newton's laws to centripetal forces and simple machines. Animations...

This series of four slides helps define the terminology that is essential to the study of Newtons Second Law.  Notetaking and review will be easier if supported by these factsheets.

Is your class struggling with Newton's Second Law? Then show them a presentation that covers everything physics scholars need to know about forces. Starting with gravity, the slides focus on Newton's Laws of Motion, and end with an...

These simple slides are basic, but clear, in their summary of physical forces. Definitions of friction, air resistance, gravity, freefall and projectiles are given along with a couple of helpful diagrams. More examples always help to...

A science video includes a good amount of information on the force of friction and related topics. As slides come up on the screen, a narrator explains the images and definitions. While informational, the narration is very monotone.

An excellent presentation provides a thorough description of what friction is, how it works, what it's uses are, and how friction can be reduced. Some excellent discussion should follow this PowerPoint in your science class.

Amaze your class with this demonstration of gravity and friction. A ring on a string is able to catch a spool of tape as it falls. This is a perfect introduction for a class discussion on these topics, or you could have kids them try it...

Teaching about inclined planes may seem like an uphill battle, but there's a straightforward way to do it. An Honors Physics presentation covers static and kinetic friction, the forces of friction, and inclines. Additionally,...

A series of simple computer animations and a narrator explain friction. The force of friction is defined and explained as a self-adjusting force. Causes and types of friction are illustrated and ways to minimize it are listed. There are...

Become a pinball wizard by understanding acceleration. Mia and Sam define acceleration for the audience and touch on the property of inertia. Get your physical science class up to speed by showing this little video, reviewing the...

There's a lot going on here: air pressure changes, inertia, and chemical reactions. All of this occurs in 60 seconds time! As an end of the year physical science assessment, consider showing this video clip and then having learners write...

Throwing a ball through the air seems simple enough, so why do scientists study the effects of air on a sports ball? Veritasium presents a video in its playlist that explains the Magnus force to help athletes throw curve balls. It...

Words, words, words! Each of these slides gives a wordy definition of a particular force, along with an example or diagram detailing that force. No photos or diagrams are shown, so make sure to demonstrate each concept for the class as...

There is a force stronger than electricity or gravity, so scientists named it the strong force. The video continues the explanation of the strong force and the way it works. It also describes the limitations, such as only working in very...

You might not be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but you could certainly pull a tablecloth out from under a place setting! Display inertia and Newton's first law of motion for your future physicists or magicians by performing this...

There's a lot going on here: air pressure changes, inertia, and chemical reactions. All of this occurs in 60 seconds time! As an end of the year physical science assessment, consider showing this video clip and then having learners write...

A circular motion problem in physics can really throw you for a loop. A video explains what circular motion is and how it is figured. It also describes centripetal force and the importance of friction and magnitude.
