Bscs: Forces and Motion Content Background Document
In this document, we will try to answer a fundamental question of physical science, "Why do things start to move, slow down, speed up, stop moving or change direction?" In answering these core questions we can develop concepts that can...
Exploratorium
Exploratorium: Science Snacks: Physics/mechanics (Force and Motion)
A collection of mechanics activities. Many pertain to Newton's laws of motion. Step-by-step directions provided with illustrations. Great for teacher demos or student projects.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Particle Systems With Forces
Applying the forces of wind and/or gravity to a particle system so that the system can apply force to all individual particles. In addition, adding a repeller where all the force vectors have a different direction is illustrated.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Spring Forces
Creating a simulation of a bob hanging from a spring in a two-dimensional space that responds to other forces in the environment (wind, gravity, etc.)
