Do not let friction drag you down! The 11th segment in a series of 22 focuses on the fourth force acting upon an airplane—drag. Pupils learn about the effects and causes of drag.

Get the ball rolling with this upper-elementary science unit on forces and motion. Offering over three weeks of physical science lessons, this resource is a great way to engage the class in learning about simple machines, friction,...

Let's get moving! Newton juniors solve 19 problems using force, speed, and acceleration equations. This is a nifty learning exercise that includes a few diagrams and multiple choice selections for each question. It provides the...

For this forces worksheet, students determine the x and y components of each of the force vectors given. Students calculate the force of tension, frictional force, and draw force diagrams. This worksheet has 6 problems to solve.

A clear explanation of Newton's First Law of Motion, the law of inertia, with diagrams and real-world examples. Useful for both students and teachers. Written by a high school physics teacher.
