Physics Applets - High School - Science

This site is a collection of interactive JAVA applets which simulate topics for Physics, Astronomy, or Environmental Science classes.

Amusement Park Physics Interactive - High School - Science

This interactive physics module allows students to investigate the science behind amusement park rides. Students explore roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, free fall, the pendulum, and ride safety. Some physics topics covered include potential energy and kinetic energy (roller coasters), tangential speed, velocity, and acceleration (carousel), and elastic collisions and momentum (bumper cars). Students create their own roller coaster and predict the outcome of various collisions within the modules.

Help Wanted: Physicist! - High School - Science , Social Studies , Writing

"Students study current topics of physics research and consider potential social and economic implications for the world at large. Students form collaborative teams and select an area of physics research to investigate. They collect information summarizing current research and issues related to their topic, biographical information on scientists who work in the field, and information on possible effects this area of research could have on mankind. Students represent informed experts who present their findings to a Senate subcommittee, taking a point of view about the risk or benefit of the research endeavor."

Hit The Target - High School - Science

This interactive physics modules requires students to calculate vertical or horizontal displacement of a projectile when given the initial velocity and height of the object at launch. The Shockwave activity and data sheet are available directly from the given Url.

Position vs. Time - Primary - Science

This interactive activity involves position and time. Students will click and drag a person on a bicycle watching the graph that is created as a result of the movement. Other keywords: physics, mechanics, kinematics

Name That Motion - High School - Science

This interactive physics module requires students to match eleven motion statements to the motions they represent. Students watch a car move across the screen at various speeds and directions at different intervals before matching the motion to the correct statement. Requires Adobe Shockwave. Other keywords: velocity, speed, positive, negative, acceleration.

Uniform Circular Motion - High School - Science

This interactive physics module with accompanying questions requires students to investigate circular motion while controlling or manipulating the object's velocity, acceleration, mass, and radius of the object's path. The Shockwave interactive links from the directions page. Requires Adobe Shockwave.

Gravitation Activity - High School - Science

This interactive physics module and accompanying student questions require students to investigate the factors that influence universal gravitation: distance and mass. Students use qualitative statements to compare various situations they create with the interactive simulator. The URL links students to the question page. Scroll to the bottom and click on the link "Do the Gravitation Activity". Requires Adobe Shockwave.

Graph That Motion - High School - Science

This interactive physics module requires students to observe an object's motion across the screen and then match its motion to one of eleven position or velocity graphs. Through this activity, students must demonstrate understanding of positive and negative direction, displacement, velocity, speed, and acceleration. To complete this activity, students must click to participate as guest. Students may work with partners. Requires Adobe Shockwave.

Dimensional Analysis - High School - Mathematics

In this online activity, students will learn to recognize the different names for dimensional analysis, recognize a unit factor and how to use it, solve conversion problems using unit factors, and apply dimensional analysis in solving science problems. Students will learn these concepts through a series of online tutorials and activites. Activities also allow students to make connections to chemistry, physics, and biology.

Projectile Motion - High School - Science

This interactive projectile motion simulator allows physics students to manipulate launch angle, initial speed, mass, diameter, drag coefficient, and air resistance. The simulator can be downloaded or run off the website, http://phet.colorado.edu/new/simulations/sims.php?sim=Projectile_Motion. Four different labs accompany this simulator in the compressed file attached. Teachers can choose questions most appropriate for his/her class or grade level. Additional labs can be found at the Projectile Motion website. Requires Adobe Flash Player.
