Exploring Earth's Magnetic Magic: Reading Passage and Experiment
Overview: This resource combines a reading passage with a hands-on experiment, allowing students to grasp the concept of magnetism and Earth's magnetic field in a fun and interactive way.
Key Concepts Covered:
This worksheet is designed to help students strengthen their understanding of momentum and impulse in physics. Through a series of engaging problems and calculations, students will explore concepts such as momentum, force, velocity, and kinetic energy.
Engaging with these problems will enhance your comprehension of momentum and impulse concepts while honing your problem-solving skills. Have fun tackling the challenges and mastering the principles of physics!
The answer key is provided as well.
This physics lab worksheet focuses on exploring the concepts of collision and momentum using a simulation. The lab is designed to engage students by interacting with a digital simulation of two balls slamming into each other. Students will make predictions, and analyze outcomes. Students will develop a deeper understanding of momentum, velocities, and the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions. It is suitable for middle school and high school physics or physical science classes.
Students will be engaged in hands-on experimentation and discover the principles of motion and collision through a series of captivating lab exercises.
Lab Setup: To begin, set up the lab by placing one end of the track on two reading books and the other end on a pencil, creating a slanted track. The angle of the track will determine the direction of the marble movement.
If you are a science teacher and don't have a water rocket lab, you should begin. This experiment is the highlight of our year. This is a doc for a higher-end physics class and contains math calculations. Students have restrictions as to rocket design. We launch twice. On the first day we build and launch and calculate distances. The next day we do the say, but his time they should be making repairs to see if they can get it to fly further.
Egg drop competition instructions and material list. It contains follow up questions.
This video isn't so much about Thor's hammer as it is about the density of dying stars. I am only assuming that Vsauce, the video creator, did the research, but this video would make a great conversation starter when talking about density and specifically about the density of collapsed stars.
In this video the question as to whether there is actually gravity in space is answered. The video discusses that astronauts are not actually floating in space but in reality they are falling and so ismthe International Space Station.They never hit the Earth though because they are also moving forward at an incredible speed. Gravity does affect objects in space but because of motion, objects can maintain an orbit.
If you are teaching physical science and have often tried to come up with a great explanation about why objects hit the ground at the same time if they are dropped from the same height and time, then this video does an excellent job with this explanation The video first starts off people off the street being asked about which ball will hit the ground at the same time. After listening to their ideas he then performs the experiment. He takes it one step further when he asks the people why they think both objects hit at the same time. Some of their scientific ideas are pretty funny to list
This NASA video describes how the Wright Brothers used the scientific inquiry in learning to fly. It will demonstrate how their first plane worked. It discusses pitch, yaw, and roll.
