A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object. Force is measured in newtons (N). Forces are divided into contact forces and non-contact forces. A force ...

As an atmospheric scientist, I encounter many aspects of physics within my discipline. The ideal gas law, momentum, vorticity, and forces are common topics within any meteorology curriculum. However, ...

In this physical science engineering activity, students will have fun designing, drawing, and building K’nex vehicles to meet specific challenges. They will discover the different forces at play as ...

What’s new: Recent classroom studies found gamified physics lessons significantly increased student engagement, time on task, and motivation compared to traditional teaching. Why it matters: ...

Workshops around the world train science teachers to incorporate particle physics into their classrooms. Picture this: A stationary object such as a vase suddenly explodes, sending fragments flying.
