What happens in the muscles during anaerobic and aerobic exercise, and how does this affect the heart and our overall health? A cross-curricular lesson that introduces learners to the lifelong benefits of exercise, including the...

Students gain first-hand experience on how friction affects motion. They build a hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disk (CD), learning that a bed of air under an object significantly reduces the...

Students explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". In this physics instructional activity, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Students on roller blades and model cars of...

Students explore the relationship between conservation of our resources and the use of other modes of transportation (walking, biking and roller blading). They show respect for their environment by picking up garbage in the area. They...

In this guided inquiry demonstration, a person on rollerblades and a medicine ball are used to teach the concept of conservation of momentum. Various sorts of collisions are used to show how momentum is conserved within a system.

This lesson designed for primary level students, describes the bodily-kinesthetic method of showing the conservation of momentum with students rollerblading, using cars, and colliding marbles.
