Forces in Action
In this forces in action worksheet, students identify types of forces, label forces of action, and draw forces of action as they respond to 6 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Gravity
Students perform inquiry in response to the question "Do objects fall at the same rate?", teacher candidates discuss a model experiment for secondary students to discover the answer, including recording and analyzing data.
Curated OER
Rainbow Rotors
Students examine two forces of movement: gravity and friction. They create paper models to further their understanding of these forces, and decorate them. They then work in pairs to experiment with the rotors and record their data.

When Push Comes to Crunch
Eighth graders engage in an experiment which uses an inclined plane and balls of various masses to determine the effect a large object has on a small object. They study velocity, momentum, gravity and forces.
LABScI
Harmonic Motion: Pendulum Lab
Several times throughout history, groups of soldiers marching in rhythm across a suspension bridge have caused it to collapse. Scholars experiment with pendulums, resonance, and force to determine why this would happen. First, pupils...

Black Holes and Tidal Forces
In this black holes and tidal forces learning exercise, students solve 5 problems in which they find the tidal acceleration and answer questions about spaghettification.
Curated OER
Motion and Force
This physics PowerPoint defines the concepts of motion and force. The slideshow consists of an explanation on how motion and force work and give students the chance to demonstrate motion and force through an experiment. The directions...
Curated OER
Mr. and Miss Big Feet
Third graders experiment with gravitational force. In this physical science lesson plan, 3rd graders send matchbox cars off a ramp while changing the amount of weight attached to the car. Students record their data and discuss the results.
Curated OER
How Do Things Fall?
Students study forces by examining the force of gravitational attraction. They observe how objects fall and measure the force of gravitational attraction upon objects. Students discover that, since gravitational constants are different...
Curated OER
The Basics: Physical Science
Learners view a video on friction and examine how friction and gravity affect some sports. In this investigative instructional activity students write a paragraph and draw a picture that illustrates how friction and gravity affect...
Curated OER
Describing Motion
In this motion learning exercise, students will use Newton's third law of motion to compare the force of objects on Earth with objects on Jupiter. This learning exercise has 5 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Finding Mass in the Cosmos
In this finding mass in the cosmos instructional activity, students use the equations for the force of gravity, the centrifugal force pushing a planet outwards and the speed of a planet to solve 2 problems. They find the mass of primary...
Curated OER
Fast Cars and Roll-Over
Students creat a ramp using cardboard and tape. They follow directions to perform an experiment to determine the degree of tilt needed to cause an empty milk carton to tip over. Students discuss their results in terms of center of gravity.
Curated OER
Weight A Minute
Students watch a video and engage in hands-on activities which introduce scientific information made real through re-cognition and understanding the phenomena of gravitational force and how it impacts life on our planet.
Curated OER
Newton's Second Law
In this Newton's second law worksheet, students read about force, mass and acceleration and how they relate. They solve eighteen problems using Newton's second law.
Curated OER
Tubularastic Roller Coaster
Students observe the effect of gravity on objects. They use tubing and other materials to simulate a roller caster. Afterward, they create a journal to write their observations and summaries.
