Young scholars view a demonstration on Newton's Laws of Motion using a soda can.  In this Newton's law instructional activity students discuss what they learned from the demonstration.

High schoolers discover the differences between P- and S-waves using a slinky. They see that when displacement occurs along a fault, the built up strain of energy is released in the form of seismic waves.

Pupils investigate the concept of voltage and electricity. They differentiate between an insulator and a conductor in the context of using electrical safety with the help of a doll house. Then students pretend the doll lives in a real...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this gravitational force activity, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Students utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to simulate a satellite...

Students search for different rhyming words.

Learners test the strength and speed of their Manduca. They keep their insect in a small dish and wiegh it down with pennies. They share their observations with the class.

Learners create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

In this paper helicopter instructional activity, students design and experiment making a paper helicopter to explore how some things fall and how varying the size of the rotor blades affect the way a helicopter spins.

First graders complete activities with the story The Ogre Bully. For this literature lesson, 1st graders discuss opposite words and then read the story. They answer questions for comprehension and complete phonics activities and...

Fourth graders predict, observe, and compare what happens when a force is applied to an object. In this forces lesson, 4th graders complete a 'swinging hammer' activity to learn about forces and motion.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A text about a red wagon that can be pushed or pulled. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

In group learners 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.

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

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.
