In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

A video and a short quiz on Newton's Third Law of Motion. It breaks down what action and reaction mean, and how mass and acceleration factor into the outcome of a collision.

A video and a short quiz on acceleration.

Students watch video clips from the October Sky and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone movies to see examples of projectile motion. Then they explore the relationships between displacement, velocity and acceleration, and calculate...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to calculate acceleration from force and mass, and force from mass and acceleration.

A slideshow and a short quiz on simple machines and how they reduce the amount of work or effort needed to complete a task.

This resource provides reproducibles that aide in student learning of force and motion. Also offers hands-on and cooperative learning activity ideas as well as an ESL/ELD activity. This resource is in PDF form; requires Adobe Reader.

Use science inquiry to predict and investigate forces and motion to help rescue Ruff's plushie from the penguins' ice rink in this sports science game.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the meaning of inertia.

Learn about sports science and force and motion alongside Ruff Ruffman.

Covers the meanings of force, friction, and gravity, and the differences between magnetic and elastic spring force, and between weight and mass. The effect of air resistance on an object's motion is also touched upon.

This is a performance task for Grade Four students where they observe two different pendulums and compare the two types of motion. The activity is designed for a lab setting where students work at individual stations. A rubric and...

Students will have an opportunity to determine what makes everyday objects move. Students will be given objects and asked to make predictions on how far each object will move after they blow on it. Then they will measure the distance and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Newton's second law of motion and the effects of force and mass on acceleration. Direct and inverse relationships between force, mass and acceleration.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This lesson explores forces, and how they react to the world around us. It also discusses Newton's Laws of Science.

Students learn about various forces and how they relate to everyday life in this interactive learning module.

A collection of interactives, videos, and documents on a variety science concepts.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of motion and how it is related to frame of reference.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of gravity and inertia, and how they work together to keep objects from floating off into space.

Videos that accompany activities that are hands-on challenges that focus on the engineering design process. They use simple materials, allow for multiple solutions, and are ideal for ages 9-12.

Students will take a pretest to assess their knowledge about motion in a physical science class.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to draw a velocity-time graph and what it represents.

Use your knowledge about friction to help Carrie get to the Invigatron before someone steals it. Following the activity, read more about friction and resistance, and then take a quick quiz to check for understanding.

Kids learn about glossary and terms in the science of physics and motion. Definitions for words such as momentum, force, work, energy, gravity, scalar, vector, power, and more.
