A demonstration that will grab students' attention to learn about Bernoulli's principle and Newton's Laws of Motion.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students solve problems dealing with simple harmonic motion using a mass on a string.

Understand the effect of the forces of push and pull on motion.

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"...

Build a multistage rocket from two balloons.

Students' use a motion detector to examine how different types of motion affect the shape of the distance versus time plot. They explore how changes in direction and other factors affect the shape of the plot.

Observe the motion of two cars taking off at a stoplight, and make meaning of the accompanying graphs to answer some motion questions.

Learn about sports science and force and motion alongside Ruff Ruffman.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to record distance and velocity versus time information for a walker. They find the area under the velocity versus time graph and compare it to the actual distance traveled by the...

In this activity, Students can use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.

An animated velocity-time graph demonstrates the motion of two cars where one is passing the other.

Use science inquiry to predict and investigate forces and motion to help rescue Ruff's plushie from the penguins' ice rink in this sports science game.

This study guide on gravitation covers some key vocabulary, Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, and orbiting bodies or satellites. Includes important equations. It is available for download with free registration.

This questions set tests the following knowledge and skills in parametrics: graphing parametric equations; projectile motion; conversions between parametric and nonparametric forms. Solutions are provided.

This exercise was designed to serve as a pre-writing activity for one of their three designated fifth grade practice prompts for the state writing exam. The prompt is: Think about a time when something special or unusual happened at...

This is an online story for early readers about things that can go into motion, and things that can't. It offers help for readers as they can click on a words and it will say the word aloud. It also provides a list of words used in the...

Students learn about rotary encoders and discover how they operate through hands-on experimentation. Rotary encoders are applied in tools to determine angle measurements and for translations of angular motion. One common rotary encoder...

A set of four online courses in Physics for elementary and middle school teachers. Each course targets a different topic area - light, electricity & magnetism, temperature & heat, and force, motion, & energy.

Play hockey with electric charges. Place charges on the ice, then hit start to try to get the puck in the goal. View the electric field. Trace the puck's motion. Make the game harder by placing walls in front of the goal. This is a clone...

Students use a LEGO ball shooter to demonstrate and analyze the motion of a projectile through use of a line graph. This activity involves using a method of data organization and trend observation with respect to dynamic experimentation...

Working as a team, students discover that the value of pi (3.1415926) is a constant and applies to all different sized circles. The team builds a basic robot and programs it to travel in a circular motion. A marker attached to the robot...

The paths of some seismic waves and the ground motion that resulted are shown in this poster.

Create a creature that uses air to create motion with this challenge. Site includes tips, lesson plans, and a place for students to document their design process.
