Forces at play in the Physics Theater. The gravitational force between two masses, the electric force between two charges, and the magnetic force between two magnetic poles -- all these forces take essentially the same mathematical form. Newton's script suggested connections between electricity and magnetism. Acting on scientific hunches, Maxwell saw the matter in an entirely new light.

In this video, Mr. Edmonds sings to help students remember the units and the contrast between mass and weight (metric system). He also uses visuals as he sings. Mass involves the measure of the amount of matter in an object in grams (g) or kilograms (kg) and weight is the measure of gravity's pull on an object in Newtons (N). Some of the key vocabulary words include the following: mass, weight, grams, kilograms, newtons, balance, scale, and gravity. This is a great resource to help students master this important skill. Middle School and High School students will enjoy this fun, catchy tune. (03:12)

This explains the relationship between buoyancy and density using hot air balloons, fish and cruise ships as examples of objects using buoyant force. Includes instructions for calculating the density of a rectangular prism and a liquid. Includes a brief explanation of Archimedes' Principle and the role gravity plays in buoyant force. (12:09)

Magnets stick to other magnets and to metal objects made of iron or steel. How much force is required to break the attraction between two magnets? In this workshop, fourth-grade students explore ways to balance the force of magnetism against the force of gravity. A magnet placed in a cup on one side of a pan-balance is stuck to a stationary magnet beneath the cup. When enough washers are placed on the opposite side of the balance, the magnets will separate. Graphical analysis shows some unexpected results.

Tides are the rise and fall of the Earth's seas and oceans, and they are caused by the pull of gravity from the sun and moon. Tides cause changes in the depths of the water, meaning that the seas and oceans are continually experiencing cycles of high and low tides. Learn more about tides with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

Why is the Moon, our nearest neighbor in the solar system, so different from the Earth? In this session, participants explore the complex connections between the Earth and Moon, the origin of the Moon, and the roles played by gravity and collisions in the Earth–Moon system.

The force of gravity makes a ball roll when it is placed on an incline. In this workshop, first-grade students roll balls of different sizes, masses, and materials down ramps of varying heights, comparing their speeds. The students then experiment by replacing the ramp with a cardboard tube, and try to determine how the tube must be oriented to allow the ball to roll, much as it rolled down the ramp.

What are the forces that act on airplanes that allow them to fly? That is the focus of Mr. Os most recent O Wow Moment video, where we take a look at Daniel Bernoulli's famous equation, confront the controversy surrounding the Newton vs. Bernoulli debate, and, most importantly, answer the question - what can you do with a leaf blower and a roll of toilet paper? Join Mr. O he discusses thrust, drag, gravity, and lift. (05:49)

The students in Mrs. Matthews science class have been studying plants this week. They have been learning the parts of a plant, parts of a flower, parts of a seed, and various jobs a plant has. The students work through six centers throughout the week. The centers include (1) an art activity about pollination (2) an A.R. book about pollination (3) several interactive websites about the growth of plants and how plants respond to light and gravity (4) an art activity about the life cycle of a plant (and how a flower turns into a fruit) (5) a multiple choice game called "Can-Do!" and (6) a crossword puzzle and flashcards. The students also have an ongoing experiment about moldy bread. They have been discussing the different variables in the experiment and are observing the mold under a microscope. They've learned that mold is NOT a plant because it does not make its own food. (03:53)

This interactive activity adapted from Indiana University features time-lapse videos that reveal the movement and growth of plants in their pursuit of light. Although plants have no choice about where they are rooted, they do respond to environmental cues in ways that enable them to survive. This interactive site includes five videos using time lapsed photography (no audio) with written explanations. The videos include: seed germination and gravity, light and dark responses, twining vines, plant growth and gravity, and circadian response.

This humorous video shows examples to help explain the differences between the theories of gravity provided by Aristotle and Galileo. After the first experiment have the students reach a conclusion about which scientist was right. Let the video play to the end and see which students were correct. A good lesson. (05:53)

In this slow motion video for IPS Schools by Clayborn a ball is released on an inclined plane and accelerates due to the force of gravity. At the bottom of the first inclined plane to the beginning of the second inclined plane the ball stops its positive acceleration by nearly maintaining its horizontal speed. On the second ramp the ball accelerates backwards down the slope, or loses speed to a point where it momentarily comes to rest. Therefore this video demonstrates POSITIVE ACCELERATION, ZERO ACCELERATION, AND NEGATIVE ACCELERATION or acceleration in the opposite direction. This video ignores friction and wind resistance and was intended for basic illustration of acceleration. (05:02)

Anyone undertaking a building project must understand mass wasting — the downslope movement of earth under the influence of gravity. Various factors in mass wasting, including the rock’s effective strength and pore spaces, are discussed, as are different types of mass wasting such as creep, slump, and landslides. Images of an actual landslide illustrate the phenomenon. (28:54)

This video is about how the solar system was formed. Planets were formed by pieces of debris colliding into each other until it formed a planet. The sun's gravity held them in orbit. Each of the planets is quickly shown with some debate about Pluto. Dwarf planets are explained. A good overview. (04:19)

This 12:27 video introduces electric potential energy. Electrical
potential energy is due to the gravitational field of the objects mass. Potential energy is essentially the work/energy from its position (on Earth, moving away from Earth). This means the energy needed to overcome the gravity pulling down for the desired distance. The video uses a smart board and a narrator.

Ever wonder why a stone sinks in water? Let's make sense of it with science. If you've ever tossed a stone into a lake, you know what happens next-it sinks. Let's find out why. Key vocabulary words are density, volume, sink, float, natural force, gravity, upward force, and weight. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge for students and would work well in conjunction with a lesson/unit or reading non-fiction texts on properties of waters, oceans, physics, etc. (01:46)
