You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Fourth-grade students at Jackson Elementary School recently practiced measurement skills and developed an understanding of force and motion by conducting experiments in teams. Brian Hunt, from left, ...

Students will apply their knowledge of physical science concepts to create a lunar lander game using Scratch. They will use Vernier force and acceleration sensors to understand forces and integrate ...

Some of the most difficult (and most important) experiments in the history of physics had to do with making connections between different concepts. What about the connection between objects moving ...

Tugging a small toy with your dog can be a lot of fun—but it’s also a great way to experiment with forces acting on an object. Forces are what scientists call the pushing and pulling on objects. In ...

Bumble bees create and feel the buzz of static electricity, and you can too. Use simple household items to investigate static charges. Build an air vortex cannon that shoots air across the room, then ...

Find out more about Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of force and motion at the amusement park, Silverwood. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything.

Why do things fall? It’s about force and motion. Find out more in this Science Trek short. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything. On this ...

Kurth Primary and Trout Elementary teachers were dodging Easter marshmallows when sixth-graders from Lufkin Middle School’s STEM prep classes came to present science experiments to second-graders ...
