In this force worksheet, students answer short answer questions about pushing and pulling different objects. Students complete 15 questions.

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this gravitational force lesson, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Students utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to simulate a satellite crashing...

Young scholars use string, wire, weights, and a stopwatch to build pendulum clocks. In this pendulum clocks lesson plan, students use the pendulum clocks to investigate weather, climate, force, and motion.

Students explore how varying force and mass effect the motion of an object.  In this motion lesson plan students participate in a class activity and demonstrations.

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

Ninth graders explore physics with springs and strings. In this force and motion lesson, 9th graders rotate through four stations exploring how various springs stretch and bounce, and how mass and length affect a pendulum's swing. They...

Students investigate forces. In this laws of motion instructional activity, students visit the Glasgow Science Center or Techniquest to participate in activities related to the Newton's law of motion.

Pupils determine the force of a helium balloon that allows it to rise a specific distance.  In this helium lesson students calculate the amount of paper needed to construct a weight and determine the density of a piece of paper. 

Students review what force. In this science lesson, students determine which surfaces are rough and which are smooth by observing how an object moves on each surface.

Learners investigate buoyancy, displacement and density.  In this flotation lesson students study the Archimedes' Principle, analyze data and draw conclusions. 

Students explore the relationship between force and the distance of the load from the fulcrum.  In this experimental lesson students get into groups and make a lever and record the force that is needed to move it, they then try this...

Students participate in a demonstration that helps them visualize mudflows and how they move.  In this exploratory lesson students simulate a mudflow and create an avalanche.

Students explore distance a toy car travels by changing the amount of batteries used to power the toy car.  In this force and motion lesson, students calculate the average speed of a car while investigating the power from various...

Pupils investigate friction on a playground slide. In this force and energy lesson, students will predict, plan, and implement a scientific investigation to the problem; What materials will allow me to slide the fastest down a slide?

Students investigate the connection between work, potential energy, kinetic energy, and heat. In this physics activity, students use pulleys to produce mechanical advantages and incline planes to demonstrate energy conversion.

For this fourth-grade science standardized test practice worksheet, fourth graders answer 42 multiple-choice and short-answer questions to review their science knowledge.

In this eighth-grade science standardized test practice activity, learners answer 79 multiple-choice and short-answer questions to review their science knowledge.

For this science assessment, fourth graders complete 44 multiple-choice questions covering a variety of fourth-grade science concepts.

Third graders examine simple machines. In this simple machines lesson, 3rd graders observe simple machines at work in a video, then experiment with creating their own simple machines to move objects.  

Young scholars discover the forces that affect the surface tension of water. In this surface tension lesson plan, students use pepper, soap, and liquid detergent to discover the forces.

Students write a research paper about human space travel. In this space travel lesson plan, students watch a video and research issues related to space travel. They use their research to write a paper about whether human space travel...

Learners investigate the properties of air by capturing it, squeezing it, and feeling its weight. In this forces lesson, students capture bags of air and examine its properties. The weight and pressure of air is emphasized.

In this forces in action worksheet, students look at the pictures and identify the forces in action, then draw arrows to show the forces, and draw pictures of forces in action.

Students participate in a variety of activities of scientific principles.  For this science lesson, students experiment with spaghetti and marshmallows to build a strong structure, balance nails on a nail, and use force to catapult...
