Students engage in a lesson to investigate some of the properties of sound. They create sounds and listen to the vibrations that are made while listing all the sounds that are heard. This is done while the eyes are closed to strengthen...

Teaching students about pushes, pulls, and motion? Use this site to plan lessons for students to conduct investigations to compare the effects on the motion of an object when pushes or pulls come from different directions or strengths.

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 are asked to create a bungee jump that will protect a hard-boiled egg from breaking. A force sensor is needed to measure the push/pull forces on the egg. Data is inserted into force-time graphs. After completing three...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Featurea the definition of combining forces: Pulling down and pushing up, forces acting in opposite directions, forces acting in the same direction.

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.

See how forces affect various items that are pushed or pulled.

Learn about forces (push or pull), gravity, and friction in this module by training dolphins.

Learn why every force is a push or a pull.

Understand the effect of the forces of push and pull on motion.

Through hands-on activities, this lesson will show students that a force is a push or a pull and forces cause changes in motion. Included are a minute-by-minute lesson plan, activities, and teacher discussion points and questions.

Compare the forces of pushing and pulling.

Learn about pushing and pulling.

You have probably heard the word "force" before in conversations. Here are a few examples: "the rocket had a lot of force at blast off" or "the force of the storm blew the roof off the building." What is force? Force is defined as a push...

A learning module reviewing how much force is needed to push or pull objects. Also learn about the force of gravity.

In this activity, young scholars will learn about push and pull forces that make things move. They will also practice using position words to describe location. To learn about forces, they will move objects, observe the movement of...

This tutorial is to introduce students to the concept of forces. Tutorial includes activities, content and teacher notes.

Students will understand that pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. Students investigate the effects of these different pushes and pulls.

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

Cody the tour guide is learning about forces on the island. Try to help him learn about pushing and pulling.

Nikos is cleaning up and organizing in his family's theater. He finds out that different movements need different motions; sometimes a push, and sometimes a pull. Help him figure out which force to use.

In group students will learn to identify pushes and pulls. Students will learn how a push or pull will affect various items. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.

A practical application of the use of the components of vectors with force. Example and general form are both given.
