Reproducible activities, correlated to the National Science Education Standards, that engage students' minds as they observe, examine & investigate vectors, Newton's laws of motion, friction, gravitation, kinetic & potential energy, and other key concepts in physics.
Includes URLs for Internet tie-ins.
Vectors 1: making vectors -- Vectors 2: adding vectors -- Velocity and acceleration -- Newton's first law : inertia -- Pressure is not the same as force -- Newton's third law : action and reaction -- Friction -- Center of mass -- Earth's gravity and uniform acceleration -- Ballistics -- The pendulum -- Orbital motion -- Momentum -- Work (the physics kind) -- Kinetic energy -- Potential energy -- Electric and magnetic forces.
