Momentum
Learners explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". In this physics lesson, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Learners on roller blades and model cars of different weights...
Curated OER
Momentum
Students explore the concept of momentum. In this physics lesson, students observe and compare two "carts" being released to move in various situations, and draw conclusions as to why the carts moved or didn't move.
Curated OER
Action and Reaction
Students experiment with Newton's Third Law of Motion. In this physics and motion lesson, students complete two experiments to illustrate force and its equal and opposite reaction. Students first work in pairs to exert an equal force on...
