Students view a video and use their knowledge of forces and motion to create an art piece. In this forces and motion lesson, students research forces and motion vocabulary and view a QuickTime video. They apply their knowledge by...

Young scholars examine the relationships between force, mass and balance through the lens of clay sculpture. They discuss the definitions and concepts behind Newton's Third Law of motion then individually apply these principles to the...

In this changes in motion worksheet, students view the concept of pulling and pushing an object, decide whether 10 statements or examples of push or pull and circle their multiple choice answers. Students draw a picture of themselves...

Students approach science through artwork.  In this art and science lesson students work together to develop theories and gather data. 

Students explore the concepts of force and motion by creating a video.  In this physics lesson, students are assigned one particular aspect of force and motion to investigate and work in groups to create a video that will be...

Students investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  In this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Students create their own fighter kites...

Eighth graders imagine they are getting ready to "take off." They may imagine themselves in any type of aircraft or spaceship. They may then sketch themselves as passengers anticipating this moment.

Fourth graders explore communications by reading assigned space science text. For this satellite lesson, 4th graders identify the concept of orbiting and examine gravitational pull by viewing diagrams. Students are assessed based on...

Third graders study the forces of push and pull on motion

Learners explore physics by participating in an engineering activity. In this rocket lesson plan, students define a list of scientific vocabulary terms such as "re-engineering" and "trade-off." Learners identify the rocket creation...

Students explore symbolism, visualization of key literary elements

Sixth graders investigate the forces that move certain objects.  In this physics lesson, 6th graders design and create paper flying objects using origami methods, which they practice flying in different conditions.  Students...

Students decide on an activity like running, swimming or skating for a performance analysis. They have friends or family members videotape them as they exercise, then review the video to see how they can improve their performance.
