Uniform Motion

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...

Introduce your young scholars to the concepts of circular motion, projectile motion, angular speed, simple harmonic motion, torque, center of mass, centripetal force, and Hooke's Law with a 86-slide presentation. The circular motion...

Does your class feel unprepared for the upcoming exam? Use this video to review the simple harmonic motion concepts that will appear on the AP Physics exam. While maintaining interest and a fast pace, the presenter not only reviews...

What is motion and why does it often follow a straight line? Share the video with your class so they understand the answers to this question and others. Pupils participate in discussions on displacement, acceleration, time, velocity and...

Do we know Newton's Laws of Motion as well as we think we do? Examine how observation alters what physics class teaches in an engaging video. The narrator acts out examples of each incorrect law and describes the examples in...

Don't let rotational motion make your head spin—use a video lesson to highlight the important ideas related to this concept! The 11th lesson in a physics series breaks down the motion in a rotating object. The narrator includes a...

Continue the journey into the world of physics as you lead your class on a winding road complete with vectors and scalers. Pupils learn more about motion, direction, and velocity as they use these concepts to explore two- and...

Do the laws of physics apply in space? Astronaut Randy Bresnik explores Newton's second law of motion in one part of the "STEM on Station" series. Then, learners explore the same concepts in the classroom by propelling a car weighted...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define net force, external force, and system; understand Newton's second law of motion; and apply Newton's second law to determine the weight of an object.

This concise handout posts a diagram of a block sliding down a ramp. High schoolers draw qualitative graphical representations for displacement vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time. They draw a motion map and list the...
