In this word problem worksheet, students are given directions and guidance as to how to solve word problems. They are given the variables used in word problems, the math codes, how to change letters into formulas and 5 steps to solving...

Students dicusss Newton's First Law of Motion. They calculate a projectile moving horizontally and vertically at different intervals. They particpate in an experiment in which the projectile is at an angle. They record and discuss the...

In this projectile motion worksheet, students solve 3 problems and an inquiry problem using three equations that describe projectile motion. One equation is for the maximum velocity to reach a height, H, the other is the maximum...

In this Ares 1-X launch worksheet, students read about the path of this rocket's launch and solve 2 problems. Students find the number of seconds it took the rocket to fall from a given altitude and they determine how far from the launch...

In this motion worksheet, young scholars read about the 3 laws of motion and then complete a graphic organizer describing the laws and giving an example for each one.

Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus instructional activity. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.

High schoolers study Galileo and his scientific discoveries. They complete a series of experiments/model constructions, using 17th century equipment and procedures, to "recreate," demonstrate and explore the various discoveries of Galileo.

Students examine motion of a sphere on an inclined plane.  In this inclined plane lesson students complete an activity to discover basic relationships.

Fourth graders conduct a lab activity that measures the factors that change the swing rate of a pendulum. They create a hypothesis and test it during the experiment. They record their observations using the recording sheets and journal...

Ninth graders investigate motion. In this science lesson, 9th graders conduct experiments on objects to analyze motion and speed. They define motion in everyday life.

Students examine digital images and how satellites orbiting Earth send information and pictures to Earth over the Internet. They use a digital camera to put pictures on a computer and decode a satellite image from space.

Learners use the reaction time to figure out problems. They use the following example to get them started with reaction time: the edge of a ruler is placed near a person's thumb and index finger and, without warning, the ruler is...

Young scholars describe how to recognize a force, define balanced and net forces, state Newton's first law of motion, explain why friction works, state Newton's second Law of Motion, and explain why the direction of force is important.

Students are introduced to the concept/idea of a vector, what it represents and why they are used. They develop an understanding of what vectors are, how and why they are used.

Students study the basics of a model rocket and its classifications.  In this rocket lesson students determine the flight duration of a model rocket.

In this Newton's law of motion worksheet, students review the concepts and equation associated with Newton's second law of motion. Students complete 7 matching and 5 true or false questions.

Young scholars, in hands-on activities, explore how a dump truck might be made to negatively accelerate or slow down. They participate in activities using friction force to modify the truck-and-ramp system. Student groups test ideas for...

Students demonstrate direction of velocity of an object in circular motion. They discuss the mathematical formula, and demonstrate the formula using a string, rubber stopper and a target.

Learners see that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate, as established experimentally by Galileo. They see that falling objects, and balls rolling down an incline, tend to accelerate at a constant rate a. Their velocity...

In this motion worksheet, students will match 5 physics vocabulary words relating to motion with their definitions. Then, they will review 9 statements of different motion scenarios to determine is the statement is true or false....

In this energy use worksheet, students read about kilowatts and solve 2 problems. They find the costs to run certain electrical items for a given amount of time and they determine the electricity consumption of an accelerator that runs...

Students investigate how mass affects the speed of an object. In this physics lesson, students record data on the data table and graph results. They analyze findings and formulate a conclusion.

In this Newton's Laws of Motion word search worksheet, students locate and identify 12 words related to Newton's Laws of Motion within the word search puzzle.

Students determine their reaction time using a ruler. In this Physics lesson plan, students calculate the class' means and variances. They plot the graph and analyze if there are outliers.
