Students solve several differential equations. In this calculus activity, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.

Students use their knowledge to crash a comet into Jupiter or make a comet fly past the planet without colliding with it.

In this geography skills learning exercise, students read a 4-page article titled "As Populations Age, a Chance for Younger Nations." Students then respond to 4 short answer questions based on the content of the article.

In this science worksheet, students apply themselves to the acquisition of new vocabulary while solving the crossword puzzle.

In this math worksheet, students analyze a path around a circle. The interval is defined. Students sketch a graph of a given parametric curve. Five application problems give students practice using these concepts in real life situations.

Students explore the concept of frames of reference in physics.

The lesson has sufficient background information for the teacher to implement the lesson. Students are asked to summarize the three laws of motion. They also conduct classroom activities to role play the Laws of Newton.

In this math activity, students consider a path around the unit circle parameterized by σ on the interval [0, 1] with σ(t) = sin(5πt − π), cos(5πt − π). Then they find the vector.

For this symbols worksheet, learners read about how different symbols are used to represent variables or constants in equations. Then students complete 3 problems.

In this Isaac Newton activity, learners analyze ten words in a word box that pertain to Newton's Law. Students match these words to their definitions.

Students use a coffee cup to demonstrate weightlessness. After a lecture/demo, students read an article on free-fall. They perform a simple experiment which helps them explain the concept of weightlessness.

Students describe how cosmic rays achieve high kinetic energy via conservation of momentum.

High schoolers estimate the energy output of the sun. They estimate how much power sunlight the sunlight provides to the earth. They build a simple device to measure the amount of solar radiation the earth receives from the sun.

Students investigate how skaters can turn in midair. In this physics lesson, students relate Newton's Laws to skateboarding. They carry out the maneuver with the help of their classmate.

In this activity, middle schoolers will use a plywood ramp and various tornado tubes (made from tornado tube connectors and 2 liter pop bottles) to calculate the average speed of the tornado tubes. They will set up 4 investigations...

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will differentiate between speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Take control of a virtual car and learn how vectors are used to represent velocity and acceleration in this interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain.

Students roll miniature cars down a ramp and measure their speed and acceleration every 10 cm. Students can vary the type of car, height of ramp or the ramp material. Student change one of these variables to investigate how the car's...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students solve problems involving displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and acceleration, and then explore problems and graphs involving one-dimensional motion.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore and calculate an object's motion in terms of position, displacement, speed, and acceleration.

Students understand that vectors have both magnitude and direction components as they investigate velocity and acceleration vectors.

Students interactively create predictions of position, velocity, and acceleration graphs using java applets. The applets automatically classify student answers, so instructors can create graphs of student predictions.

In this introduction to motion activity, students will get a personal understanding of speed and acceleration by experiencing it firsthand. Wheeled office chairs or other cart like devices are used to give one student a ride as a fellow...
