Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Universe Timeline
This diagram shows a universe timeline as suggested by many scientists and theoretical physics experts. This popular timeline of the universe has different stages which include: quantum fluctuations, inflation, dark ages, first stars,...
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Tennis Physics
This image describes some of the physics involved when using a tennis racquet to hit a tennis ball with either topspin or backspin. The diagram shows the rotation and velocity for both the topspin and backspin shots.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Amplitude Modulation
A simple picture showing amplitude modulation. The thin line goes quickly from top to bottom as it moves from left to right.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Anechoic Chamber
A photo taken from the inside of an anechoic chamber. The effect of rebounding sound waves is kept to a minimum in such an anechoic chamber thanks to the large surface area that absorbs most of the noise.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Anemometer
This photo shows an anemometer, a weather measurement device used to gauge the strength of the wind.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Basic Atom Structure
This diagram shows a basic atom structure with an atom core, proton, neutron and electron.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Broken Piston
This picture shows a broken piston and connecting rod from a scooter.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Cessna 350
A side on photo of a Cessna 350 displayed at an aviation show. Other planes can be seen in the background as well as people attending the event.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Cylindrical Lenses
A photo showing eight different shaped cylindrical lenses sitting on the table.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Electricity Circuit Diagram
This basic electricity circuit diagram shows a resistor and ammeter in series, a voltmeter in parallel and a switch with a cell for charging purposes.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Falling Sign
A black and yellow warning sign showing a person falling backwards over an edge.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
This photo shows the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The Main Ring and Main Injector can easily be seen from the air, as well as the circular ponds that dissipate waste heat from the various equipment.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Force of Attraction
This image demonstrates the force of attraction between oppositely charged objects, in this case two pieces of tape. For more information, take a look at repulsive force in action.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Forces of Lift
This diagram shows the forces of lift that affect the wing of an aircraft. Lift, thrust, weight and drag all affect the flight of the aircraft as well as the angle of attack.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Fuel Injector
This is a cross section diagram showing the inner workings of a fuel injector. The labeled parts include the solenoid, fuel filter, valve spring, plunger, spray tip and atomised fuel. The solenoid components and fuel injector assembly...
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Gears
This image shows a large gear and a small gear from two different angles. Understanding how gears work is important when learning about mechanical advantage and simple machines.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Gyroscope
A computer generated image of a gyroscope. The outer ring supports to free spinning inner rings and a disc at the center. The gyroscope stands on a supporting base which holds it upright.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Iron Filings Magnetic Field
Iron filings are used in this picture to show the path of magnetic field lines created by a magnet.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Kaleidoscope
This photo shows the view from inside a kaleidoscope. The shapes and colors are reflected in a symmetrical pattern by the mirrors inside the kaleidoscope.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Laser Pointer
This photo shows a laser pointer in action in two different lighting conditions. The lighting in the top image is much brighter than in the bottom image but the laser pointer is effective in both.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Lighter Spark
A close up photo showing the bright light produced by a flint lighter spark.
Curated OER
Science Kids: Science Images: Magnet Poles
This photo clearly shows that like poles of a magnet repel each other. This effect can be quite strong. In this image, as a child holds down the top magnet down with their fingers, it looks like the top magnet is floating due to the...
