In this science instructional activity, learners identify the Newton laws that explains what happens in 6 steps. The steps involve a yo-yo that is suspended from a hook on a ceiling.

Pupils use an online interactive to launch a rocket from earth. They have control over the angle and thrust of the rocket to discover the relationship between the two.

Students explore simple machines and demonstrate thier acquired understanding by building a simple machine.

Students engage in a instructional activity to investigate some of the properties of sound. They create sounds and listen to the vibrations that are made while listing all the sounds that are heard. This is done while the eyes are closed...

In this Isaac Newton worksheet, students analyze ten words in a word box that pertain to Newton's Law. Students match these words to their definitions.

Seventh graders progress through the Science Court: Gravity CD-ROM program. They read about and discuss how gravity was discovered. They complete review worksheets in preparation for the test.

Students study scientific names and descriptions of forces.  In this motion lesson plan students organize information into a graphic organizer then teach it to other students. 

Students examine how simple machine work can make work easier.  In this machines instructional activity students complete an activity that shows them what makes up a machine, and how to measure displacement and velocity. 

Students participate in propeller experiments. They research the purpose of the propeller and its functions. Students create and experiment with blades and straws to produce a breeze.

Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Fourth graders pour three cups of sand on the top of a plastic table near the edge. They tap the table lightly with the rubber mallet. When they tap the table lightly they see the sand ump into the air.

Students learn how snakes move. In this locomotion instructional activity, students learn the four main methods of locomotion that snakes use. Students visually create one locomotive movement.

Students understand that an aquifer can become a non-renewable resource if it is not used wisely. Students do an experiment that recreates an aquifer in the classroom.

Understand the effect of the forces of push and pull on motion.

Students will understand that pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. Students investigate the effects of these different pushes and pulls.

Nikos is cleaning up and organizing in his family's theater. He finds out that different movements need different motions; sometimes a push, and sometimes a pull. Help him figure out which force to use.

In group students will learn to identify pushes and pulls. Students will learn how a push or pull will affect various items. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will learn what balance, force, push and pull are. There are video clips and interactive practice of these vocabulary words and concepts.

See how forces affect various items that are pushed or pulled.

In this activity, students will learn about push and pull forces that make things move. They will also practice using position words to describe location. To learn about forces, they will move objects, observe the movement of objects and...

Cody the tour guide is learning about forces on the island. Try to help him learn about pushing and pulling.

This super simple activity for kindergarten-age students requires no materials and can be done inside or outside, or both and explores forces and motion.

Teaching students about pushes, pulls, and motion? Use this site to plan lessons for students to conduct investigations to compare the effects on the motion of an object when pushes or pulls come from different directions or strengths.

In this guided inquiry activity, young scholars will use 2 marbles of different size and a box to investigate what makes the marbles move and what will cause the marbles to change speed and direction.
