Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...

If your students like sports, rockets and roller coasters, then they’ll like Sir Isaac Newton! Newton’s Laws will help your students understand force, motion, and the transfer of energy. In this ...

In this video, I walk you through a super fun and simple balloon rocket experiment that you can set up in any classroom or at ...

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 ...

All of the objects in our solar system are acted upon by forces. Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force has both a strength and a direction. Applying a force on something–like pushing a toy car–can ...

We are talking about Centrifugal and Centripetal forces using a tornado as an example. Centripetal force is a force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, this force points TOWARDthe center ...

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, ...
