Students calculate the moment of inertia of a disc. In this physics instructional activity, students differentiate the two methods used in finding the inertia. They construct their own pendulum for the lab.

In this science learning exercise, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills.

High schoolers estimate the energy output of the sun. They estimate how much power sunlight the sunlight provides to the earth. They build a simple device to measure the amount of solar radiation the earth receives from the sun.

Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.

Tutorial explains isotopes, atomic weight and how isotopes can be detected using mass spectrometry. Examples are given.

Site from HyperPhysics dealing with the topic of mass and weight. In addition the site deals with weightlessness. The numerous links to other pages help the student see how ideas are interrelated.

Students learn the difference between weight and mass. Practice problems are included to check for comprehension of the concept.

Lars in Antarctica needs help. Can you help him with all the months of the year and with mass?

This lesson demonstrates how to use weight to determine the mass of an object. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Weight & Mass."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of weight and how it differs from mass, and then they have the opportunity to calculate the weight of an object from its mass.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Uncover the relationship between weight and mass, on Earth and beyond.

This website provides explanations of mass, weight, and density with directions for building simple scales and balances. Provided as encouragement to teach these concepts to young children, it offers a good review for older students.

From the Exploratorium Museum. Includes an interactive feature in which a visitor enters their weight on earth and has their weight on other planets computed and displayed. Discusses the distinction between mass and weight and describes...

This interactive resource from the Exploratorium calculates your weight on other bodies in our solar system and offers an explanation of mass and weight and the relationship between gravity, mass, and distance.

Defines inertial and gravitational mass, their scientific history, formulas used in their calculation, the definition of weight, units used for mass, and mass as perceived in the theory of special relativity.

This lesson explains many basic concepts of atomic structure. It starts with atomic mass and number and then works up to more sophisticated information on electron configuration and how each element fits into the Periodic Table.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

Several learning modules that explain the difference between mass and weight. Each module includes a video introduction and detailed lesson plan.

The purpose of this lesson is to help students understand the relationship between the mass and the weight of an object. Students will study the properties of common materials and why airplanes use specific materials.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of weight and how to calculate the weight of an object.

This lesson focuses on gravitational fields and includes what one is, the formula for gravity force, defining weight, formula for mass, an example of how to calculate gravity force, a practice question, and a link to a test.

Using a Periodic table with a list of atomic weights for reference, practice figuring moles of 103 elements.

Covers the meanings of force, friction, and gravity, and the differences between magnetic and elastic spring force, and between weight and mass. The effect of air resistance on an object's motion is also touched upon.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about mass with definitions, how to calculate mass, the difference between mass and weight, solved examples, and practice questions.
