I would weigh less on the moon? Send me there, then! On the top of the first page, a cartoon image demonstrates the difference between Earth and the moon. It then goes on to describe weight and mass and provides five practice problems...

Every knows that opposites attract! Here's a presentation that uses this background knowledge to explain magnetic fields and forces. The resource also explains the shape of magnetic fields and how to determine the direction of forces.

In this math worksheet, students find the plane perpendicular to the path (t2, t, cos 2πt) at time t = 1/4. Then they determine the location in which the object is moving the fastest.

In this distance, speed, and time worksheet, students determine the effect of wind on the time of a flight.  The students answer five questions to help them come to a conclusion regarding the airplanes travel.

In this math activity, students complete the practice exam that asks for the solution to the parametric equation. Also they name the perpendicular line in relation to it.

In this math worksheet, students state Newton's second law of motion and his law of gravity. Then they state Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.

In this function worksheet, students evaluate problems involving functions, identify the domain and range of functions, and complete inversion mapping. This two-page worksheet contains approximately twelve problems.

Fifth graders are introduced to Newton's First Law of Motion. In groups, they describe the differences between balanced and unbalanced forces. They participate in experiments that demonstrate how equal and opposite forces act upon...

Students are introduced to Kepler's 2nd law of Planetary Motion. The instructional activity reinforces the understanding of focal points. They calculate the sector area of an ellipse.Students expand understanding by modeling Kepler's 2nd...

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students research articles about science technology and society. In this science and technology lesson, students answer questions about an article they chose. They share what they learned with their peers.

Students investigate projectile motion. In this projectile motion lesson, students investigate a website with an interactive lesson. Students view the changes in the projectile they see in the lesson. Students watch short video clips and...

In this math instructional activity, students examine how the moment of a force about a point is defined. They look at the 2 problems to define the information contained in them.

In this math worksheet, students demonstrate that the point ( 1√ 2 , −1 2 , 1 2 ) lies on the unit sphere. They find the equation of the plane tangent to the unit sphere.

In this math worksheet, students write down the equation of a plane. Then they create the equation of a line. They also define the lines that are perpendicular.

Middle schoolers discuss and view examples of acceleration. They work together to determine acceleration rates in two ways. They analyze their data and discuss.

Learners examine the mathematical relationship in scoring a basket. They observe the arc of the ball as it travels to the basket from different points on the floor.

Young scholars are introduced to the concepts of impulse and momentum and problem solving strategies for these types of problems. In groups, they discover the law of conservation of momentum and share their answers with the class.

Learners explore the nature and magnitude of gravitational forces.  In this gravitation activity students study gravity and answer questions. 

A program that will randomly move an object from one location to another in three-dimensional space. You must determine the three components of the velocity vector that is created by this movement and also the speed of the object during...

In the following interactive students will begin to apply principles of vector addition to determine relative velocity and explain the significance of the observer in the measurement of velocity.

Three complete tutorials on vectors and two dimension forces and motion. Lessons include informational text, interactive activities, animations, and quick, interactive comprehension checks along the way.

Professor Shankar introduces and discusses vectors in multiple dimensions. The discussion includes topics such as null vectors, minus vectors, unit and velocity vectors. The lecture can be accessed as video, audio or as a transcript.

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.
