Students solve problems by discovering the eigenvalues that satisfy design questions. They explain how relaxing a small angle approximation can change the solution. Students apply the numerical model of pendulumm motion to solve the...

Lesson 2, which is about bowling footwork, is part of a unit on bowling. There is a link at the bottom of this page that will go to the unit page. The unit plan is pretty comprehensive and the lessons should be taught in order. The unit...

In this energy worksheet, 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 practice finding the location of cities across the world by using an interactive Web site, and figure out the world's time and the value of time zones the world over.

Students participate in long rope jumping. In this physical education lesson, students use four cones and a long rope to complete several activities. One students has the role of a "turner" and their partner is the "jumper." Each...

Students solve systems of equations with radical expressions. After reading real life situation, they translate the problem into algebraic expressions. As a class, students solve quadratic equations and inequalities by graphing and...

Students are introduced to the concept of Energy Conservation with the example of: Tony Hawk seems to defy the conservation of energy as he keeps reaching new heights on each pass on the halk-pipe. Actually, Tony is supplying the extra...

Students discuss and view examples of acceleration. They work together to determine acceleration rates in two ways. They analyze their data and discuss.

Students manipulate a model of a wave in order to solve the wave equation in 1 dimension. By using a model of a wave on a string the student is able to change the tension, length, and mass of the string as well as fix either end of the...

Pupils interact with science and math classes around the world by doing the same experiment and communicating their results. They use iChat AV and an iSight camera to share relevant information about their area, decide on the...

In this work and energy worksheet, students review energy laws, potential energy, and kinetic energy. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, and 5 matching questions.

Students explain the theory of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by performing hands-on, practical application experiments.

Students analyze data received from high-energy satellites of various binary star systems' orbital periods or stellar rotation periods.

A series of graphics, downloadable animations and text describe and explain the motion of a pendulum. Some sections require an understanding of calculus.

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...

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...
