Document: Friction Abstract: Friction is a Force that always pushes against an object when it touches another object” “When 2 things are in contact with each other, there will be friction acting between them”

Document: Energy Graphic Organizer1 Abstract: Fill in the blanks.

Document: Balloon Vehicle Hands-on Activity1 (1) Abstract: Make a vehicle using the materials provided. This vehicle should do the following: Use wind power from the balloon to supply a force to move the vehicle travel in a straight line.

Document: Speed Investigation Activity Abstract: Student investigates speed as an important variable regarding force of an impact. Students roll a car down a ramp and into a block of wood. The distance the car travels, the time until impact and the distance the block moves are recorded. The speed of the car is calculated. Students are asked to design and perform...

Document: Energy and Electric Field Activity-1 Abstract: Use this applet for a couple of minutes. Add multiple charges using the “add” button. To adjust the sign or mass of a charge to be added, you must first click on the “Properties” button, make your change and click “done”. The next charge you add will reflect your change. For some reason...

Document: Roller Coaster Physics Investigation Performance Task Abstract: The purpose of this simulation lab is to strengthen your understanding of energy conservation in real-world applications.  You will use a skateboarder and his park to represent the roller coaster and its track.  You will observe many other physics concepts at work as well.

Document: Newtonian Vehicle Abstract: You will design, build, and test a self-propelling vehicle that can travel a minimum distance of one meter. When designing the vehicle, sketch a diagram showing how it will be propelled (balloon, rubber band, mousetrap, etc.) and the forces that act on the vehicle when it is stationary and moving. After building and testing the vehicle, write...
