In this graphing activity, students determine the speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time plots based on the velocity vs. time graph given. Students complete 2 graphs.

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.

Students create and build cars to race in class. In this physics lesson, students calculate the speed using distance and time information. They evaluate their design and make adjustments when needed.

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.

Students investigate the concept of velocity and apply it to the velocity of sound and measure the velocity of sound by measuring the echoes produced in a tube. They show their calculation of time and speed, and then conclude that sound...

Tommy is stuck in a dungeon and can only escape if you can discover the correct formula for velocity! Through trial and error, scholars enter the velocity required for Tommy to reach the elevator at the proper time. Then they extrapolate...

Increasingly, colleges and employers want applicants with strong conceptual analysis skills, so give them some practice! Applying these skills to position-time graphs encourages synthesis of knowledge. To complete an installment of a...

Lead your class in this exciting activity to learn more about motion and its importance. Pupils learn about a centripetal and why it is required to maintain a constant speed in a circulating moving mass. They apply the equation for...

Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

Do you weigh slightly less when an elevator first starts its descent? The simulation teaches the change in the force based on the acceleration, constant speed, or deceleration of an elevator. Scholars control the mass and acceleration...

Take another look at the exam. A set of questions is a different form for the 2004 AP® Calculus BC free-response question section. The questions are evenly split into calculator and non-calculator sections. Pupils use their knowledge of...

In this acceleration and velocity learning exercise, learners explain how long it would take a car to reach a speed of 100 m/s from resting. Then they determine the acceleration of a plane as it slows down to land if it is going at 75...

Eighth graders examine the difference between speed, velocity and acceleration.  In this velocity instructional activity students read and construct a line graph and a bar graph to show information about velocities of sports...

Young scholars are asked how do they calculate velocity? They take a trip to the school's track and have a series of timed races. Students return to class and calculate their velocity and see who is the fastest. They summarize what...

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

In this motion worksheet, students draw and label the trajectory of objects including the x-component and y-component of the velocity. Students calculate acceleration and speed. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this unit III: 3 worksheet, students describe motion in words and graph drawings. Students calculate the instantaneous velocity and average velocity. Students also graph the displacement of the object in the word problems.

Students compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

My acceleration is downward at 9.8 meters per second squared. That means I'm falling for this physics of motion worksheet. Once motion has been covered in class, give a worksheet that offers multiple choice and short answer...

Students determine what factors affect the speed of the car. In this physics lesson, students calculate speed, velocity and acceleration from experimental data. They construct and interpret motion graphs.

Young Newtons solve nine momentum problems on a physics homework assignment. They tell which moving object has more momentum, compute average force, determine velocity, and more. Using this resource, you can assess your physics pupils'...

Sometimes it appears that a bowling ball slides down the alley rather than rolling, while other times it appears to switch rolling directions at some point. Scholars control the bowling ball size, initial rotation, initial speed, and...

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.

Most water fountains are designed to keep the water inside the fountain, but how are they designed to shoot up and out without the water leaving the fountain? Scholars vary the launch angle, fountain height, launch speed, and...
