Seven problems regarding gravitational pull are presented in this physics drill. Pupils solve for displacement, time, speed, and acceleration. Critical thinking and problem solving skills are both required to complete the assignment. 

In a force diagram, a stick figure man in an elevator takes a ride. Physics analysts work out the force exerted on him by the elevator floor. As the acceleration changes, they draw new force diagrams and compute new force values. This...

Circular motion can make you loopy! On this physics worksheet, learners practice solving problems regarding centripetal force, rotational period, speed, acceleration, and more. A flying aerobat and a couple of amusement park rides make...

Neat and succinct, here is a worksheet that provides problem-solving practice for your physics fans. They calculate acceleration and friction coefficients. They also draw force diagrams and analyze blocks moving across various surfaces....

More of a math lesson plan than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and...

A nine-page physics resource supports your lesson on acceleration. A step-by-step lesson plan walks you through the materials you need, the background information, steps for leading experimentation, and the explanation of the results....

Quiz those kids to assess what they've gleaned from your last lesson on Newton's laws of motion. There are 10 questions that have learners define force, acceleration, velocity, and speed. A bonus question has them write a motion story...

Students calculate the speed of an object, by measuring the amount of time it takes to cover a given distance, and then divide: speed=distance/time. However, the object may not have been moving at a constant rate over the given distance....

Raise the energy level of your physical science class with this exciting hands-on activity. Applying their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy and Newton's laws of motion, young engineers use foam tubing and marbles to create...

Physics masters solve five sliding mass problems. For each, there are a few different values to be determined: normal force, force of friction, acceleration, velocity, coefficient of friction, or net force. Pupils must draw a force...

Students design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. In this physics lesson, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results and conclusion.

Students view a video on friction and examine how friction and gravity affect some sports.  For this investigative lesson students write a paragraph and draw a picture that illustrates how friction and gravity affect sports.

Learners explore momentum. In this physics lesson, students perform an experiment in which two balls are released on slanted boards while learners observe which ball will go the farthest and the fastest. Students define and explain...

In this acceleration worksheet, students construct a motion map and a qualitative and quantitative graphical representation to determine the motion of a car after it applies its brakes. This worksheet has 8 problems to solve.

In this gravity worksheet, students solve four problems including calculating masses of planets, determining forces of asteroids on traveling spaceships, and determining the altitude where the acceleration of gravity is equal to a given...

In this graphing worksheet, learners use velocity vs. time graphs to create speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Students create 24 graphs.

In this motion worksheet, students use a graph showing velocity vs. time to create a speed vs. time graph and an acceleration vs. time graph. Students label all critical values along the y-axis.

In this motion activity, students use a graph showing the velocity of an object over time to describe the motion of the object and to determine the position of the object at different intervals. Then students create speed vs. time and...

In this weight worksheet, students read about weight, friction, and equilibrium. Students then complete 10 matching, 7 fill in the blank, and 8 word problems.

For this laws of motion worksheet, students review Newton's 3 laws of motion and compare force and net force. 11 matching, 18 fill in the blank, 6 word problems.

In this energy activity, students will determine if 7 examples represent kinetic energy or potential energy. Then students will study an illustration of a child coming down a slide and answer 5 energy questions based on the illustration.

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. For this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...
