Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body instructional activity, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects...

Students receive balloons representing the "Life Cycle of the Stars." As the attached script is read, students follow the directions for the color of balloon they are given. Students chart the results for their star. They plot data from...

In this science instructional activity, students match each type of scientist listed in the left-had column to its correct description found in the right-hand column. There are 34 different scientists to match on the sheet.

Tenth graders role play that they are nutritionists devising a healthy dietary plan that focuses on the client's needs.

In this science worksheet, learners select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

Second graders create a hypothesis on what objects will attract to magnets. In this magnets lesson plan, 2nd graders use a computer program to create a hypothesis as to what will attract or unattract magnets. For an extension, they test...

In the following interactive students will begin to explain work as a transfer of energy and net work as the work done by the net force. They will also explain and apply the work-energy theorem.

Learn about energy and power in this learning module that contains videos and animation.

In the following interactive students will define conservative force, potential energy, and mechanical energy. They will explain the potential energy of a spring in terms of its compression when Hooke's Law applies. Students will also...

Here we learn what work and energy mean in physics and how they are related.

The mathematical model for the relationships between work and energy serves to model physical problems and, more importantly, predict natural and man-made phenomena. Students discover the relationships which serve as a powerful...

This is a glossary of words and definitions of terms having to do with work, energy, and energy resources.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A video module where students learn about the relationship between force, work, energy, and mechanical advantage using a simple machine.

In the following interactive students will begin to explain the human body's consumption of energy when at rest vs. when engaged in activities that do useful work. They will also calculate the conversion of chemical energy in food into...

By the end of this section, you will be able to explain work as a transfer of energy and net work as the work done by the net force and to explain and apply the work-energy theorem.

This page explores the quantitative relationship between work and mechanical energy in situations in which there are no external forces doing work. It is a basic analysis of situations in which mechanical energy is conserved. Examples...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define conservative force, potential energy, and mechanical energy; explain the potential energy of a spring in terms of its compression when Hooke's law applies; and use the work-energy...

By the end of this section, you will be able to derive the equation for rotational work, calculate rotational kinetic energy, and demonstrate the law of conservation of energy.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This module has students using a simple machine to learn about the relationship between work, force, and energy.

By the end of this section, you will be able to explain the human body's consumption of energy when at rest versus when engaged in activities that do useful work and to calculate the conversion of chemical energy in food into useful work.

Through interactive practice problems and examples, students calculate the amount of work done by forces.
