Curated OER
Class Activity: BOUNCE!
Kinematic equations are used to calculate the velocity and momentum of different types of balls bounced on different surfaces. The lesson plan is detailed and provides a materials list, background information, and procedures....
Curated OER
Phase Changes
For this phase change worksheet, high schoolers read about the particles in substances that speed up and slow down for substances to change phases. They answer eight questions about phase changes, the states of matter and how changing...

BELT-ABOUTS Lesson 1
Students explain how safety belts prevent injury. They identify three other safety features in a vehicle. Students discuss how fast 40 miles per hour is. They discuss how high a five story building is. Students discuss other types...
Curated OER
Skateboard Disaster
Young scholars conduct a hands-on experiment with collisions between two skateboards of different masses. They are introduced to the concept of conservation of momentum in collisions and consider how their observations might help...
Curated OER
Bouncing Balls
Students explore the concept of gravity. In this gravity lesson, students drop super balls from varying heights. Students record the height of the super ball on bounce zero and bounce one.
Curated OER
Momentum And Colliding Spheres
Learners explain that mass times velocity equals momentum. They investigate the impacts of collisions and their results and determine the vector of an incident.
