How Can They Tell?
Pupils compare the characteristics of arcade tokens to those of a circulating U.S. quarter to determine how a video game can tell the difference between the two. They examine coins and arcade tokens very closely to observe the differences.
Curated OER
Discovering Friction
Students watch a demonstration that introduces them to the idea that friction is a force that impedes motion when two surfaces are in contact. They work in groups to experiment with frictional force using a coffee cup on which they alter...
Curated OER
Newton's Laws
Students examine and discuss Newton's Laws and discover his contribution to physics. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they much apply the Laws to the world around them. They describe contact and conservative forces...
