Kinematics: The Gravity Lab
Falling objects can be brutal if you don't protect your noodle! Scholars explore the motion of falling objects through measuring short intervals to determine if the distance traveled varies with time. Building off of this, scholars...

Activity #6 'Nothing' Matters: A Demonstration
Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.
Curated OER
Gravity
Sixth graders explore the characteristics of gravity. They discuss gravity on Earth and then use cereal boxes to research and compare the weight of objects on Earth to the weight of those objects on other planets.
Curated OER
Weightlessness
Eighth graders study weight, force and mass as it pertains to the earths pull. For this weightlessness lesson students are divided into groups and complete an activity.
Curated OER
Tools of the Trade
Third graders explore and identify the tools that can be used to measure length, mass/weight, and volume. They discuss how things are measured using different units, and observe the difference between the English and the Metric systems....

Density of the Human Body
In this density of the human body activity, learners measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Using Metric Measurement at the Zoo
In this using metric measurement at the zoo worksheet, student solve twenty multiple choice problems about the weight and length of zoo animals using the metric system.
Curated OER
Convert This!
Young scholars use conversion factors to solve problems. In this algebra activity, students convert between Metric and English Units. They measure different objects and using both systems in their units.

GUM: More, Less, or the Same?
Pupils confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.
Curated OER
In-Line Inertia
Young scholars practice calculating the moment of inertia when discussing a skater and the position in which it is best to spin. After class discussion, students practice calculating inertia on their own.
