In this simple machines worksheet, students identify the 6 simple machines. They answer 21 questions about the types of simple machines, the output force of simple machines, the input force and the work involved in using a simple machine.

Students launch a rocket.  In this laws of motion activity, students discuss the forces of flight, how a plane flies and how a rocket gets off the ground.  Students watch a video about rocket launches, discuss Newton's Third...

Students investigate the physics of flight through various experiments. In this physics lesson, students construct different flying objects. They explain the dynamics that make these object fly.

Students view a video clip about suspension bridges. They discover what forces support this type of bridge. They build their own suspension bridge using classroom materials.

Learners design and build a small glider. They see how the flight of a bird is similar to the flight of a sailplane. They explain how birds get their thrust and how they control their direction of flight.

Students analyze an engineering problem. They contrast paper and pencil mastery of concepts with hands-on mastery. They present their design and rationale behind it, whether it works or not.

In this work worksheet, learners will match vocabulary words with definitions: joule, Newton, force, and work. Then students will answer 8 problems based on the equation: work = force x distance.

Fifth graders explore how a plane can stay aloft. In this engineless airplane flying lesson, 5th graders experiment to find how the design of a plane and Bernoulli's principle keep planes in the air. Student's create a plane and answer...

Learners conduct Internet research on the different parts of the skeletal system. Then they create a model arm that demonstrates how muscle and bone work together to create movement.

In this math learning exercise, students solve math problems based on a trip around the Sarehole Mill. The learning exercise includes black and white photographs of the site as well as questions that relate to the mill. Students answer...

In this simple machines worksheet, students read about various types of simple machines. They then use what they learned to answer 17 questions. The answers are on the last page.

Students use an inclined plane to move a heavy load.

In this equations worksheet, students practice solving problems using the equation for mechanical advantage. Students complete 2 problems.

High schoolers use paper plates and detailed directions to build a model of the Michigan Avenue Bridge's gear system. By carefully measuring and cutting "teeth" for the gears of the "Gear Train," they create small gear that will...

Students investigate the properties of air through inflated objects. In this physical science lesson, students examine gas as a state of matter. Student push on inflated objects and note the space the gas has taken up inside. Students...

Eighth graders investigate the relationship between force, distance and time.  In this physical science instructional activity students compute the work done, graph and find the relationship between work and power. 

Students study mechanical engineering and how it plays a part in the creation of windmills. They design and test their own windmills using various materials and sail designs.

This lesson includes visuals and animations designed to aid the instructor or coach to help young scholars learn to use correct techniques in playing badminton. Visuals include drills, tutorials, and exhibitions suitable for all levels...

In this grammar learning exercise, students join each simple sentence into a complex sentence by adding words to make one sentence of each pair an adverbial or relative clause.

In this summer Olympics learning exercise, students fill in a crossword answering questions about the summer Olympics. Students fill in 35 questions.

Young scholars create a paper dart airplane and measure its flight pattern. In this flight lesson, students follow the included directions to build their own paper airplane. The young scholars change the aileron configurations to see how...

In this using articles worksheets, students read each sentence and fill in the blanks using the correct article. Students are given 10 sentences to practice the skill.

Learners investigate the connection between work, potential energy, kinetic energy, and heat. In this physics lesson, students use pulleys to produce mechanical advantages and incline planes to demonstrate energy conversion.
