Students learn the concept of angular momentum and its correlation to mass, velocity and radius. They experiment with rotation and an object's mass distribution. In an associated literacy activity, students use basic methods of...

Assess your understanding of Newton's three laws of motion and the ability to distinguish between the three with this interactive multiple choice quiz. Receive immediate feedback to your answers.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Use this outline to find out about Newton's Laws of Motion. Use the different lesson plans covering the laws of motion to learn more.

A tutorial with accompanying animations on classical mechanics. Well-illustrated. Good navigation.

Manipulate variables while exploring principles and relationships related to moving in a circle at a constant speed. Students change the radius of the circle, the speed of the object, and the mass of the object and investigate the effect...

Newton's three laws are deceptively simple, but they are the underpinning of all of physics and govern the mechanics all of your actions in everyday life. Take an in-depth look at these laws in this learning module.

An easy to do activity that investigates the basic theories of inertia. The activity is in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for Newton's first law of motion, including the difference between mass and weight.

The motion of three simple harmonic oscillators is animated to illustrate the effects of mass and spring constant upon the motion. Several equations and a lengthy discussion accompany the animations.

Provides a long list of physics formulas for easy reference.

Students construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket.

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate rotational inertia, rotational speed, angular momentum, and velocity. Students build at least two simple spinners to conduct experiments with different mass distributions and shapes, as they...

An activity to study how the position of the center of gravity is affected by the distribution of mass of an object. This activity ask students to balance a dowel on their finger and by moving the playdoh around the dowel they see how it...

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

Newton's First Law also called the law of inertia is the most important thing to realize about motion. This article offers more information on motion and explains solved problems involving Newton's First Law. Also included is a video...

Students will create a gravity ball launcher to demonstrate their understanding of mass, force, momentum, and motion. The students will use critical thinking, measurement, and observation and analysis of data to make changes and improve...

A short quiz on Newton's famous laws of motion. Has ten multiple-choice questions.

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 1 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

Balance the force of gravity with the force of the expanding gasses created by mixing baking soda and vinegar. Create a soda bottle submarine that sinks to the bottom of the bathtub and then rises back to the surface.

This article on weight will help you prepare for the AP Physics test. Included are example problems to help you practice.

This site from NASA discusses application of Newton's first law of motion to airplane motion. Includes a graphic and an accompanying explanation.
