Students examine how gravity affects launching rockets into space. In this physical science lesson, students review the concept of gravity and use an interactive online site, "Gravity Launch," to simulate a rocket launch.

In this force and motion learning exercise, students answer multiple choice, true/false and fill in the blank questions about force and motion.

Students observe the motion of both a pendulum and a spring pendulum . They then explain the differences and the similarities between the two types of motions.

First graders discuss work, force, and energy. They study how work is done. Students discuss various types of work that are done. They act out how work is done. Student draw pictures of types of work they have done.

In this motion worksheet, learners review Newton's Laws of Motion including terms such as inertia and net force. Students complete 11 matching, 7 fill in the blank, and 7 problems to solve.

In this Newton's laws worksheet, students review the law of inertia, the law of acceleration, and the law relating force to acceleration. This worksheet has 10 short answer questions.

In this Newton's laws worksheet, students review the definitions of the law of inertia, law of acceleration, and the law that relates force to acceleration. This worksheet has 10 short answer questions.

Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics lesson, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Fourth graders identify the different types of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. In this ecology lesson, 4th graders create models of wind mills and hydropower. They discuss the pros and cons of using alternative forms of energy.

Fourth graders investigate Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion. They determine what makes objects harder or easier to push. While investigating they determine how applying force in order balance out gravity allows things to stay...

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

In this forces and machines activity, students will review vocabulary associated with forces including friction, inertia, and work. Students will also explain how simple machines help to do work easier. This activity has 10 matching, 6...

Students explain that mass times velocity equals momentum. They investigate the impacts of collisions and their results and determine the vector of an incident.

Third graders study how forces of push and pull can change speed or direction.

Third graders complete an experiment to introduce them to the concept of water pressure. In this water pressure lesson plan, 3rd graders create pressure in a water bottle and observe the force of water that is created.

A lever comes in handy when scholars build a launcher for a ping-pong ball. They test the launcher and redesign it to send the ball higher or to accommodate a tennis ball. This is the third lesson in a five-part unit.

In this physics 240:10 instructional activity, students calculate the speed and distance as presented in the given word problems. Students apply their understanding of Hooke's law to answer the questions provided.

Third graders investigate Bernoulli's Principle. In this Bernoulli's Principle instructional activity, 3rd graders examine blowing air through a tube and the movement of the ball. Students make inquiries into what effect the air has on...

In this Newton's Laws worksheet, learners answer ten questions about Newton's three laws. They answer questions about specific situations and the laws that govern each.

In this physics review activity, students compare inertia and momentum, insulators and conductors, and series and parallel circuits. Students review Newton's laws. This activity has 20 fill in the blank, 12 matching, and 20 problems to...

Learners will make many discoveries about how and why objects move. They will explore and manipulate the motion of objects and the forces required to control that motion (pushing, pulling, throwing, dropping, rolling, and so on). This...

Students construct a paper glider. In this physics of gliding instructional activity, students first learn about Borneo and it's rainforest habitat. After students discover the way animals in Borneo glide from tree to tree, they use...

Fourth graders predict, observe, and compare what happens when a force is applied to an object. In this forces instructional activity, 4th graders complete a 'swinging hammer' activity to learn about forces and motion.

Students study tree leaves to complete the activity, In this tree leaf experiment lesson plan, students observe, measure, and sort tree leaves individually, in groups, and in relationship to the entire tree.
