Students study the physical properties of different fluids and investigate the relationship between the viscosities of liquid and how fast they flow through a confined area. Student groups conduct a brief experiment in which they...

In this unit, students first are introduced to the historical motivation for space exploration. They learn about the International Space Station and are introduced to new and futuristic ideas that space engineers are currently working on...

Students explore the basic physics behind walking, and the design and engineering of shoes to accommodate different gaits. They are introduced to pressure, force and impulse as they relate to shoes, walking and running. Students learn...

Graph theory is a visual way to represent relationships between objects. One of the simplest uses of graph theory is a family tree that shows how different people are related. Another application is social networks like Facebook, where a...

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is an interesting and somewhat publicized environmental problem. A swirling soup of trash up to 10 meters deep and just below the water surface is composed mainly of non-degradable plastics. These...

Students discover fluid dynamics related to buoyancy through experimentation and optional photography. Using one set of fluids, they make light fluids rise through denser fluids. Using another set, they make dense fluids sink through a...

As students begin to understand the physics behind thrust, drag, and gravity and how these relate these to Newton's three laws of motion, groups assemble and launch the rockets that they designed in the associated lesson.

Fear of Physics uses animations and simple language to teach the theory of relativity.

Defines photoionization analytically, describing it in terms of formulas. Contains links to other sites related to atmospheric/ionospheric physics.

This website is a great resource to discover new physical education activities to bring to the classroom. Activities are grade appropriate (although keep in mind this is a British site and curriculum standards may differ).

Great lesson plans covering a wide-range of science-related subjects. A wonderful resource for wonderful teachers!

This resource gives details about dancers and choreographers. Includes nature of the work, working conditions, training and qualifications, job outlook, earnings, and related occupations.

The Illinois Institute of Technology offers this lesson plan to teach high school students the concept of periodic motion and relate it to the movement of a pendulum.

Science website from PBS that teaches the basics of mountain formations in relation to the Himalayas and Bhutan. Includes graphics & suggested use of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich!!!

Learn about the annual KoMal competition in mathematics, physics, and information technology, and challenge your ability to solve problems involving advanced algebra, logic, and other related topics through the tests provided at this site.

Investigate the physical force exerted upon organisms and objects by the environment, and relate pressure to depth in deep-sea exploration. Experiment to discover the impact of pressure on the lungs.

Dutch version of the well-known "Particle Adventure" physics website that teaches students about atoms, mass, particle physics, and quantum physics. The site discusses theories related to physics and provides other links related to the...

This video teaches the concepts of Balance of Trade and Balance of Payments. The balance of trade is calculated by subtracting imports from exports. The balance of payments includes payments related to exports and imports of goods;...

Mathematics explains the workings of the universe, from particle physics to engineering and economics. Math is even closely related to music, and their common ground has something to do with a Rubik's Cube puzzle. Michael Staff explains...

While the specific questions proposed here relate to physical therapy, the method of designing good questions that is taught can be used universally. The author teaches a pattern of asking "What" "Why" and "How" to develop successively...
