A lesson plan for stations that allow students to explore how a push or pull affects motion.

The NSTA vetted source includes resources to teach how to analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. Included are assessment ideas, videos,...

Children discuss, observe, and play with equipment used in familiar sports, and then brainstorm a list of familiar sports and the equipment used in the sports. They discuss how the equipment is used, and predict how it is put into motion...

Students will explore what they can do with balls, cars, marbles, and ramps and document findings in their science journals. This will engage their curiosity, allow them to make self-discoveries, and explore self-interests.

This resource demonstrates shrink wrap science.

Students use inclined planes as they recreate the difficult task of raising a monolith of rock to build a pyramid. They compare the push and pull of different-sized blocks up an inclined plane, determine the angle of inclination, and...

Classical physics describes and predicts how things work in our everyday environment. Football falls well into the limits of classical physics. In football we encounter many situations where only a few interactions, maybe only one push...

Activity 1 of this module investigates: How does potential energy change when things are pushed or pulled? Exploring how force is related to potential energy, this activity investigates how potential energy is changed when a spring is...

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.

An easy to do activity that investigates the basic theories of inertia. The activity is in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.

An easy to do activity that investigates Bernoulli's principle. The activity is presented in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.
