Students explain that mass times velocity equals momentum. They investigate the impacts of collisions and their results and determine the vector of an incident.

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

In this Kepler's Law worksheet, students answer questions given a diagram of the orbits of two planets about the sun. They use Kepler's Three Laws of Planetary Motion to answer the questions.

In this motion worksheet, students determine the distance traveled, the acceleration, and velocity of different objects. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

Compare the drift speed of conduction electrons in a current-carrying wire to the signal speed of changes in current. They also distinguish between DC and AC and describe how AC is converted to DC.

In this forces worksheet, students will review the different types of forces and how forces are measured. This worksheet has 9 fill in the blank, 1 short answer, and 11 multiple choice questions.

In this power worksheet, students use the equations of power and work to complete 4 word problems. Students use the standard units of watts and joules.

Students investigate the difference between potential and kinetic energy. They examine the formulae associated with both types of energy. They complete how quickly a pendulum with swing by converting potential energy into kinetic energy.

In this waves activity, students define 23 vocabulary words associated with the different types of waves and how waves are measured. Students complete 23 matching terms with definitions and draw the superposition of two waves shown.

In this physics worksheet, learners review vocabulary terms and key equations associated with the quantum mechanical model. Students apply the quantum theory to explain the photoelectric effect. This worksheet has 5 true or false, 12...

Students examine a powerful tool that can be used in the study of motion. They use VideoPoint to measure an aspect of an organism's motion: speed, acceleration, center of mass.

Students find a partner, they think about their favorite TV sport that they might like to perform in an unusual dance. They practice their chosen sport and students see if they can make a litter repeating pattern of three or four parts...

Fourth graders investigate Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion. They determine what makes objects harder or easier to push. While investigating they determine how applying force in order balance out gravity allows things to stay...

Explore functions with non-constant rates of change. The first installment of a 12-part module teaches young mathematicians about the concept of a function. They investigate instances where functions do not have a constant rate of change.
