[Free Registration/Login Required] Create a science test that checks for student understanding in science, for common misconceptions, as well as for correct ideas. This is a list of key ideas related to Energy: Forms, Transformation,...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between the speed of a wooden toy car at the bottom of an incline and the height at which it is released. They observe how the photogate-based speedometer instrument "clocks"...

By taking a look at the energy of motion all around us, students learn about the types of energy and their characteristics. They first learn about the two simplest forms of mechanical energy: kinetic and potential energy, as illustrated...

Step-by-step illustrated instructions showing how to drop four eggs into four cups without touching them. Demonstrates the concept of inertia according to Newton's first law of motion.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains how to describe matter in the solid state, about the properties of liquid matter and gases, and what the relationship between energy and states of matter is.

In this interactive, drag a pendulum to set its initial height and observe how height is related to potential energy. Then release the pendulum and observe the change from potential energy to kinetic energy, and ultimately to thermal...

The article explains temperature. Specifically, you will learn about the temperature scale, temperature scale conversions, and the types of instruments used to measure temperature. Included are solved examples and interactive problems...
