In this science learning exercise, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills.

Students 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.

Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.

Ninth graders explore how pendulums function.  For this pendulums lesson students complete a pendulum lab activity. 

Several learning modules that explain the difference between mass and weight. Each module includes a video introduction and detailed lesson plan.

Explanation of the differences between mass and weight.

A tutorial exploring the relationship between mass and weight. The tutorial also explains the difference between the concepts through pictures and examples.

What is mass? What is weight? Illustrated discussion of mass and weight including how they are measured.

Kids learn about mass and weight in the science of physics and the laws of motion including units and measurement. What is the difference between mass and weight?

A comprehensive guide for learning all about mass with definitions, how to calculate mass, the difference between mass and weight, solved examples, and practice questions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of weight and how it differs from mass, and then they have the opportunity to calculate the weight of an object from its mass.

Learn how to distinguish mass and weight from each other using the information in this resource.

Site from HyperPhysics dealing with the topic of mass and weight. In addition the site deals with weightlessness. The numerous links to other pages help the student see how ideas are interrelated.

From the Exploratorium Museum. Includes an interactive feature in which a visitor enters their weight on earth and has their weight on other planets computed and displayed. Discusses the distinction between mass and weight and describes...

This interactive resource from the Exploratorium calculates your weight on other bodies in our solar system and offers an explanation of mass and weight and the relationship between gravity, mass, and distance.

This site examines the specific difference between mass and weight in addition to length, temperature, and time.

This learning module discusses the definition of matter and what mass and volume measure. Module includes pictures, videos, and review questions.

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of weight and how to calculate the weight of an object.

Defines inertial and gravitational mass, their scientific history, formulas used in their calculation, the definition of weight, units used for mass, and mass as perceived in the theory of special relativity.

Tutorial explains isotopes, atomic weight and how isotopes can be detected using mass spectrometry. Examples are given.

This task challenges a student to use understanding of measurement to convert accurately between units of weight.

Why do hot air balloons float? This resource from the NOVA Web site offers a series of interactive activities that illustrates the physics of hot air balloons.

Join Maria and Boris the Astronaut in their journey. Learn about mass, weight, and gravity in space.
