In this lab activity, students observe and describe motion from different frames of reference and measure the time for the motion. They analyze their findings and develop a working definition of "frame of reference".

This activity is an activity where students build a motor, learn motor operation and theory, interpret their understanding through troubleshooting, and develop a new, experimental question related to the motor. One follow-up activity would be coupling their motor to a fan blade or other axle to convert electrical energy to magnetic energy into mechanical motion for real world application.

This activity is a structured inquiry for students to observe how Newton's 3rd law of motion which states that to every action there must be an equal reaction. By flicking a set # of coin into a row of coins they will observe the force of the impact being passed along until the last coin flies off when no other coin prevents it from moving.

This activity is an outdoor lab investigating Newton's Third Law with film canister cannons.

This physics lab activity is an introduction to Simple Harmonic Motion, utilizing the variables of mass, length, and angular displacement to determine their effect on period. Acceleration of gravity is calculated and the results of manual data collection and Vernier LabPro data collection are compared.

This activity is a project where students build a catapult and analyze the energy transformations, role of Newton's Laws, and role of friction and other forces.

Students will understand that projectile motion is a result of two independent motions, horizontal and vertical by reading, problem-solving, and experimentation.

This activity is an investigation regarding rotational inertia and factors that affect it.

In this classroom guided inquiry lesson, students will rotate through five stations of various sound instruments to look at how length affects pitch. Student will develop a hypothesis, make observations, and draw a conclusion about what happens when the length of the vibrating sound source changes.

Open tube resonators of nearly identical length produce sound waves with frequencies very close together. The difference between the two frequenciesy is the beat note frequency heard when two resonators (musical intruments)are slightly out-of-tune.

This activity is a classroom experiment where students learn about sound. Students will use musical instruments to explore the relationship between length and pitch.

This activity is a classroom activity where students use the inquiry method to answer the question "How is sound made?" by observing different sound producers and coming up with their own conclusion.

This activity is an experiment on how sound is energy and travels in waves. Students will investigate sound using different objects in the room.

Students will investigate how sounds are made and changed, record their findings in their journal, share these findings with the class, and develop further questions about sound.

In this activity students will learn to calculate the speed and acceleration of an object using tornado tubes and determine if mass affects the speed of the object.

Students gather data on miniature cars and use this data to calculate speed and acceleration.

In this activity students will conduct an investigation on speed and velocity by designing a roller coaster model.

This activity is a guided exploration of how static electricity works and how it relates to lightning.

This lesson focuses on torsion as a force acting upon structures. Students will have the opportunity to design something to withstand this force.

This activity is a lab investigation where students develop an investigable inquiry question, construct a fleet of boats, collect data about how many passengers (pennies) each will hold before sinking, interpret their findings, and will share methods and results during a poster session.
