Learners conduct an experiment to apply Newton's first law of motion. They observe the inertia of an object in regard to its mass. The students record and graph the outcomes of their investigation and present the relationship between...

Students practice the 4 question strategy to form more questions and develop further experiments. The four questions are engage, explore, explain, and elaborate. They use the 4 question strategy on an investigation involving the mass...

Learners conduct 8 experiments to gain an understanding of inertia. Students use a variety of materials to conduct these experiments. Learners learn the difference between objects at rest and objects moving in a straight line.

Here's a presentation that not only covers momentum, impulse, conservation of momentum in both one and two dimensions, angular momentum, torque, and the moment of inertia, but offers many applied guided practice problems as well.

Show us your moves. Using sensor equipment, scholars track the motion of different movements, such as jogging, skipping, or jump roping. They analyze velocity and acceleration and create graphs representing each movement.

In this forces worksheet, students will review the different types of forces and how forces are measured. This worksheet has 9 fill in the blank, 1 short answer, and 11 multiple choice questions.

High schoolers explore the basic underlying concepts of Newton's first law of motion. They discuss forces and brainstorm different examples of force and what they act on. Students examine force by observing springs and gravity. They...

Saving the best for last, the final video in the series of 12 covers all of the equations young physicists should memorize because they are not on the equation sheet provided at the time of AP Physics 1 exam. This fast-paced video even...

In this motion worksheet, students review Newton's Laws of Motion including terms such as inertia and net force. Students complete 11 matching, 7 fill in the blank, and 7 problems to solve.

Students investigate how water goes from a solid to a liquid then back again.  In this experimental lesson students conduct their own experiment and see how water changes form. 

In this momentum worksheet, students will complete two fill in the blank statements on inertia and momentum. Then students will compare the momentum of a bowling ball and baseball with differing masses and velocities in 3 short answer...

Fourth graders investigate Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion. They determine what makes objects harder or easier to push. While investigating they determine how applying force in order balance out gravity allows things to stay...

In this laws of motion activity, students review Newton's 3 laws of motion and compare force and net force. 11 matching, 18 fill in the blank, 6 word problems.

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. For this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

If you have a rotating office chair in your classroom, you can have physics pupils participate in this simple, yet effective demonstration of angular momentum. One partner sits in the chair, arms outstretched, holding heavy weights. The...

Students design a wheel that can go down the ramp with the smallest moment of inertia. In this technology lesson plan, students construct their model using a computer program. They calculate the moment of inertia of their finished product.

May the mass times acceleration be with you. The presentation covers forces, Newton's three Laws of Motion, momentum, and vectors.

Students design and build their own car. For this physics lesson, students collect data to determine the speed of the car. They plot the data on the graph analyze the relationship between variables.

In this physics worksheet, students examine Newton's Laws of Motion by completing 4 different mini labs and answering follow-up questions for each lab.

In this motion worksheet, high schoolers read about the 3 laws of motion and then complete a graphic organizer describing the laws and giving an example for each one.

In this Newton's Laws worksheet, students answer ten questions about Newton's three laws. They answer questions about specific situations and the laws that govern each.

Learners investigate the engineering design process and the relationship between distance, time, and speed. Using a generic car base, small groups design a device that will protect an egg on or in the car as it is rolled down a ramp at...

Eighth graders choose a sport to observe and capture pictures of Newton's Laws of motion in action within the sport. They import these pictures into Avid Cinema to create a multimedia project to go along with the written report and oral...

Students examine how motion capture technology allows computer based animators to design realistic effects in animation. They study how the center of gravity contributes to animation and how to use the center of gravity to write an...
