This lab/learning activity is designed to introduce students to some of the basic terms with circular motion. They will be introduced to rpm, frequency, period, angular frequency, speed and velocity. It is hoped that students will be...

This has been used for the physics portion of a ninth grade physical science course. This lab experience is designed to give young scholars a conceptual sense of the relationship between one-dimensional distance, velocity and acceleration.

In this activity students will collect and analyze data of their walking speed. They will compare their speed to an outside speed walker. They will determine their speed every 20 meters up to 100 meters. They will complete five trials to...

This lab is designed to have students learn the factors affecting the RMS velocity for a sample of gas. The student will be able to set the temperature of the environment and the mass of the particles.

In this physics lab students look at conservation of energy to find the horizontal velocity of a sphere in order to predict where it will land.

This lab is designed to have students discover the relationship between the work that is done by a force and the speed gained by the object experiencing the force. Students can adjust the strength of the force. They can decide how much...

A physics lab activity where students gather data from classmates running at different rates on a football field. They then share their gathered data and transfer it to a graphing program to ultimately calculate average velocity.

For this lab, learners investigate the motion of toy cars and collect data to analyze the speed of the vehicle between various points and overall speed.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the maximum speed a car can go around a turn. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, radius of the turn and the initial speed...

Personal site in which a teacher outlines a unit on motion. Probes through topics such as average speed, velocity, acceleration, speed, deceleration, force and more.
