This
resource
from
Glenbrook
High
School
in
Glenview,
Illinois
explains
and
illustrates
the
nature,
properties
and
behaviors
of
waves.
The
unique
nature
of
a
standing
wave
is
also
introduced
and
explained.
Each
lesson
resembles
the
type
and

of
coverage
given
to
that
physics
topic
in
class.

This
resource
from
Glenbrook
high
school
in
Glenview,
Illinois
applies
Newton's
laws
of
motion
and
kinematic
principles
to
describe
and
explain
the
movement
of
objects
in
circles.
Specific
applications
are
made
to
roller
coasters
and
athletics.
Newton's
Universal
Law
of
Gravitation
is
then
presented
and
utilized
to
explain
the
circular
and
elliptical
motion
of
planets
and
satellites.

This applet explores the interaction of two waves, allowing users to control both the period and amplitude as well as the phase between the two waves. Students can try to get the sum to be zero when the two component waves have a nonzero amplitude.

This
lesson
introduces
students
to
gravity
as
a
force
and
explores
the
role
of
gravity
in
falling.
Elementary-school
students
typically
do
not
understand
gravity.
They
see
the
phenomenon
of
a
falling
body
as
natural
with
no
need
for
further
explanation.
This
lesson
will
help
to
correct
misconceptions
about
gravity,
such
as
thinking
it
is
the
air
that
exerts
this
force,
or
that
the
magnitude
of

This lesson provides students with an understanding that certain materials are attracted to magnets while others are not. It is the first in a two-lesson series on magnets. In Magnets 1: Magnetic Pick-ups, students will look at various objects, make predictions about whether they are magnetic, and then test their predictions. This exploration is an introductory activity to magnets and magnetism.
