For this symbols worksheet, learners read about how different symbols are used to represent variables or constants in equations. Then students complete 3 problems.

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Students investigate how skaters can turn in midair. In this physics lesson, students relate Newton's Laws to skateboarding. They carry out the maneuver with the help of their classmate.

High schoolers estimate the energy output of the sun. They estimate how much power sunlight the sunlight provides to the earth. They build a simple device to measure the amount of solar radiation the earth receives from the sun.

In this activity, middle schoolers will use a plywood ramp and various tornado tubes (made from tornado tube connectors and 2 liter pop bottles) to calculate the average speed of the tornado tubes. They will set up 4 investigations...

How is the motion of an object affected by forces that act on that object? Can you predict how the motion of an object will be affected by balanced and unbalanced forces? Is there a relationship between force, mass, and acceleration? In...

By the end of this section, you will be able to understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration; study the turning effect of force; study the analogy between force and torque, mass and moment of inertia, and linear...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to calculate acceleration from force and mass, and force from mass and acceleration.

A video and a short quiz on Newton's Third Law of Motion. It breaks down what action and reaction mean, and how mass and acceleration factor into the outcome of a collision.

In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

This lesson explains why mass and acceleration are inversely proportional. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Mass & Acceleration."

This lesson focuses on Newton's Second Law including the formula Force = mass to the x power acceleration, an example of how to calculate the force needed to accelerate based on mass, and a link to a test.

This experiment allows the period, displacement, velocity, and acceleration of a mass suspended on a spring to be investigated by data logging the output from a motion sensor. It is an example of simple harmonic motion.

Assess your understanding of force, mass and acceleration and the relationship amongst the three with this interactive multiple choice quiz. Immediate feedback is offered.

Students must calculate the acceleration of an object down an incline when their is no friction present. Mass and angle will be generated randomly.

Students work as physicists to understand centripetal acceleration concepts. They also learn about a good robot design and the accelerometer sensor. They also learn about the relationship between centripetal acceleration and centripetal...

In this physics lab activity learners investigate how mass, length and angular displacement affect the period of a simple pendulum. Students control variables, testing one variable at a time, using manual techniques (stopwatch, human...

In this document, we will try to answer a fundamental question of physical science, "Why do things start to move, slow down, speed up, stop moving or change direction?" In answering these core questions we can develop concepts that can...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Newton's second law of motion and the effects of force and mass on acceleration. Direct and inverse relationships between force, mass and acceleration.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about Newton's 2nd Law- the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, for a wind-powered boat.

Students do work by lifting a known mass over a period of time. The mass and measured distance and time is used to calculate force, work, energy and power in metric units. The students' power is then compared to horse power and the power...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will learn to describe and calculate how the magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Acceleration due to gravity and why falling objects with different masses accelerate at the same rate.

Students must calculate the acceleration of an object down an incline when there is friction present. Mass, angle and coefficient of friction will be generated randomly.
