How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...

Surf's up, big kahunas! How do surfers know when the big waves will appear? They use science! Over the course of five days, dive in to the inner workings of tidal waves and learn to predict sea levels with the moon as your guide.

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe a straight-line graph in terms of its slope and y-intercept, determine average velocity or instantaneous velocity from a graph of position vs. time, determine average or...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Break down graphs illustrating velocity and time to understand motion.

In the following interactive module students will describe a straight-line graph in terms of its slope and y-intercept. They will determine average velocity or instantaneous velocity from a graph of position vs. time.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand how to evaluate data presented in graphs based on speed and velocity calculations.

In this lesson, you will learn about position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs and how to use them to solve problems.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to draw a velocity-time graph and what it represents.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How motion and speed can be represented by a distance-time graph and how average speed can be calculated from it.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, or charts, students will contrast situations where work is done with different amounts of force to situations where no work is done, such as moving a box with a ramp and without a ramp or...
