Students examine the concepts of balanced forces, unbalanced forces, and resulting net forces. They participate in a force and motion demonstration by pushing students in various directions, and calculating and identifying the resulting...
Curated OER
How do forces combine?
For this calculus-based worksheet, students experiment how to add forces in order to get a net force of zero with no acceleration while following the directions of a variety of different scenarios.
Curated OER
Roller Coaster Physics
Young scholars design a roller coaster that allows a marble to run the course as fast as possible. Students create an experimental roller coaster taking into account the steepness of the hills and the sharpness of the turns. Young...
Curated OER
Energy and Work
In this energy and work activity, students determine the forces acting upon objects and the work accomplished in moving objects. Students identify the location on a diagram where kinetic energy is increasing and they describe the energy...
Curated OER
Universal Gravitation Worksheet
In this universal gravitation worksheet, students answer thirteen questions using the equation for universal gravitation, and force equals mass times acceleration.
Curated OER
Ar.... What Gives?
Students investigate the properties of air through inflated objects. In this physical science lesson, students examine gas as a state of matter. Student push on inflated objects and note the space the gas has taken up inside. Students...
Curated OER
Power in the Tubes
Eighth graders investigate the relationship between force, distance and time. In this physical science lesson plan students compute the work done, graph and find the relationship between work and power.
Curated OER
Force/Newton's Laws/Friction
Students describe how to recognize a force, define balanced and net forces, state Newton's first law of motion, explain why friction works, state Newton's second Law of Motion, and explain why the direction of force is important.
