Students explore wind energy. In this wind power lesson, students create models of wind turbines and experiment with changes that will help efficiency. Students watch a video on wind power and discuss. Students work in groups to create...

Sixth graders research machines used in agriculture. In this agriculture lesson, 6th graders complete a variety of activities that involve farming and crops. Some examples include: answering questions, creating a storyboard, poetry, and...

Twelfth graders rewrite word problems using algebraic expressions. In this calculus activity, 12th graders calculate the velocity, time and acceleration while analyzing real life scenarios. They solve problems related to when the...

Second graders experiment to understand how force is effected by friction.  In this forces in action lesson, 2nd graders view a website to simulate what happens when the height of a ramp is changed. Students participate in an...

Students develop a fast travelling hull for a boat. In this physical science lesson plan, the students' hulls will be tested in a channel (built by the teacher) with a fan as the driving force. The students will compete for who has the...

In this dynamics worksheet, students calculate speed, acceleration and forces to complete 50 multiple choice questions on kinematics.

For this physics worksheet, students complete 50 multiple choice questions on physics. They determine the magnitude of work, energy and power.

In this linear momentum worksheet, learners calculate force, impulse and momentum to answer 50 multiple choice questions. They identify elastic and inelastic collision.

You have to crack a few eggs to make a good engineer! Working in small groups, young scholars design, build, and test devices that protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a ladder.

Students explore uniform circular motion, and the relation of its frequency of N revolutions/sec with the peripheral velocity v and with the rotation period T. They examine how uniform circular motion is a type of accelerated motion.

Learners study about deriving centripetal acceleration for motion at constant speed around a circle.

Students investigate the motion studies of Thomas Eakins. They design motion studies as Eakins did using photography. They use digital photography to capture human motion and draw a representation.

Ninth graders explore the concepts of motion, velocity and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They become more familiar with the computer technology. Students explore graphing in real time and graph on...

Students create a motion diagram for a distance and motion project. In this time and motion lesson plan, students take turns walking around the track and take pictures of their motion. Students measure the distances and...

In this motion worksheet, students review how to measure motion and describe the direction and position of motion. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Students recite a poem and perform motions to the words. In this stretching and moving lesson, groups of students perform the motions by crouching into a ball, getting up, breathing deeply, stretching arms, and leaning forward. An...

In this object in motion worksheet, students will brainstorm ideas of what can change an object's motion. Then the student will write in supporting details for each idea in a graphic organizer.

Seventh graders are introduced to Newton's Third Law of Motion.  In this physics lesson students examine the concept of thrust as one of the forces acting on aircraft. 

Students drop a variety of objects from a jungle gym to explore how different shapes, sizes, and masses relate to forces and motion.

Students make observations about Mystery Boxes that their teacher has made up and describes the motion of the object inside the box and hypothesizes it's shape based on their observations.

Students develop problem-solving strategies dealing with Kepler's laws of planetary motion. they examine the law of universal gravitation and continue with problem-solving strategies. Students complete a take-home quiz.

Pupils identify and categorize knowledge needed to design an experiment. They observe, recognize and describe the motion viewed. They document any changes caused by various solutions.

In this motion worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by describing the different ways an object can move: position, distance, direction, and speed.

In this Newton's laws worksheet, students write in 1 main idea and 4 supporting details about Newton's laws of motion. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
