Curated OER
Measures of Circular Motion
Physicists become Olympians in a competition using centripetal force. They ride a bicycle to comprehend relationships between linear and rotational motion. If you have an old-fashioned record player, it can be used to help pupils...
Curated OER
Angle and Radian Measure
In this angle and radian measure activity, students find the measurement of a central angle. Students determine the speed of rotation, linear speed of a point, and radians per second. This two-page activity contains twelve problems. ...

Physics Aviary: Quick Circular Motion Calculations Challenge
This challenge is designed to help students move back and forth from different circular motion ideas. These ideas include frequency, rpm, period, angular speed, linear speed, total distance and total radians.

Physics Aviary: Rolling Distance Lab
In this lab, students will be able to change the radius and the linear speed of a wheel. They can then see how each of these variables affects the angular speed. Students can also look at the relationship between angular distance and...
