For this physics worksheet, students complete short answer questions about physics concepts such as electricity, space, light, and more. Students complete 20 short answer questions.

Pupils investigate mechanical and electrical machines in the classroom and school, and identify which produce heat while operating.

Students investigate lever systems in the human body and compare arm anatomy to model.  In this human levers lesson students graph and analyze their results.

Students visualize the relationship between acceleration and velocity as they maneuver a model spaceship in a 2-dimensional applet.

In this science worksheet, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the worksheet. They also work on the skills of spelling and word recognition.

Students predict the behavior of coffee in a cup while it is dropped during a demonstration. They relate their observations to the weightless conditions that astronauts experience in space and discuss the concept of free-fall.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Fifth graders work cooperatively in groups to assemble and launch a rocket.

Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students, in groups, use given materials to devise a way to deposit a ping-pong ball into a paper cup that is located in the middle of a 6-foot diameter circle, while standing outside the circle.

Students use a coffee cup to demonstrate weightlessness. After a lecture/demo, students read an article on free-fall. They perform a simple experiment which helps them explain the concept of weightlessness.

In this ocean instructional activity, students complete a 13 question multiple choice on-line interactive quiz about ocean currents. Prior knowledge is assumed.

Students listen to the book "Henry Builds a Cabin." They design a cabin using Lego pieces based on information from the story.

By the end of this section, you will be able to calculate coefficient of friction on a car tire and to calculate ideal speed and angle of a car on a turn.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define net force, external force, and system; understand Newton's second law of motion; and apply Newton's second law to determine the weight of an object.

A lesson about friction can be found on this website. Students will experiment to see how motion and frictional force affect the game of football.

By taking a look at the energy of motion all around us, students learn about the types of energy and their characteristics. They first learn about the two simplest forms of mechanical energy: kinetic and potential energy, as illustrated...

Explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.

A collection of experiments where students can learn about how friction works and affects the physical world. At the end, students design a tortoise to win by slowing it down using friction. Lesson includes explanation of the concept of...

With this hands-on lesson, help students understand force, gravity, friction, and speed. Students will also learn how each of these concepts affects the another.

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time.

An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

ZOOM cast members mix different amounts of baking soda and vinegar to see which combination produces the most carbon dioxide for launching a film-canister rocket. [3:23]
