Vanishing Point
Learners investigate the vanishing point of a visual image with the integration of technology using a video game. The teacher plays the game and then pauses the screen to ask the them to find the vanishing point. Students trace lines in...
Curated OER
Solids in Bottles
Pupils use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.

Forces Applied to an Object
Fourth graders predict, observe, and compare what happens when a force is applied to an object. In this forces lesson, 4th graders complete a 'swinging hammer' activity to learn about forces and motion.
Curated OER
Making Bouncing Balls
Second graders analyze the composition of different balls. In this science lesson, 2nd graders create their own balls using materials provided by teacher. They demonstrate what their invention can do.

The Physics Classroom: Vectors: Inclined Planes
Through examples and interactive practice problems, this physics tutorial helps students understand how forces behave on an object on an inclined plane.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Investigating the Inclined Plane Through Inquiry
For this activity, students will use different materials to find the most effective way to use an inclined plane (in other words, moving an object with as little force as possible). This is a guided inquiry. Although the students will be...

Teach Engineering: An Introduction to Inclined Planes
Students are introduced to the concept of simple tools and how they can make difficult or impossible tasks easier. They begin by investigating the properties of inclined planes and how implementing them can reduce the force necessary to...
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Episd: Inclined Planes
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will identify how work and force are figured out on inclined planes as well as how to apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to them.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Inclined Planes Review
Review the key concepts and skills for inclined planes, including how to write Newton's second law for forces parallel and perpendicular to the incline.
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Physical Science: Inclined Plane
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses what an inclined plane is, its mechanical advantage, and how it changes force to make work easier.
Sophia Learning
Sophia: Objects at Rest on an Inclined Plane
Investigate which forces are acting on an object resting on an inclined plane.
Sophia Learning
Sophia: Practice With Inclined Planes
A video presentation providing example problems on finding the net force acting on objects at rest or sliding across inclined planes. [13:08]

Scholastic: Dirtmeister: The Inclined Plane
This site from Dirtmeister gives information on how the Ancient Egyptians used the inclined plane. Dirtmeister explains the inclined plane and its uses.
Walter Fendt
Walter Fendt: Inclined Plane
This site is an interactive app of an inclined plane showing the effect of the angle, the weight of the block, and the friction as a block is pulled up an incline.
TeachEngineering
Teach Engineering: Slide Right on by Using an Inclined Plane
Students explore building a pyramid, learning about the simple machine called an inclined plane. They also learn about another simple machine, the screw, and how it is used as a lifting or fastening device. During a hands-on activity,...
