Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this gravitational force activity, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Students utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to simulate a satellite...

In this plasmasphere learning exercise, students determine how long the plasmasphere takes to rotate around the Earth using two satellite images taken three hours apart.

Students explore the orbital characteristics a planetary home needs to support Earth-like life forms. They develop an understanding of critical planetary mass to determine which newly discovered planets might be capable of supporting life.

Middle schoolers they imagine they are Galileo and try to duplicate Galileo's experiments and results.

Students relate the concept of gravity to math. For this algebra lesson, students define scientific terminology relative to gravity, weight and centripetal force. They measure the different dimensions of a cylinder as they discuss...

Students discover how flight is possible.  In this physics lesson, students investigate the properties of a blimp and gyro-copter, comparing rotating wings and fixed wings of aircraft.  Students create their own model aircraft...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems using algebraic equations and implicit differentiation. There are 16 problems dealing implicit differentiation.
