  • Students often fail to see the connections between the science they study and real life. Segments of the population are intimidated by technical equipment. Budgets limit the equipment available in the classroom.
This workshop provides examples of how toys can be used in laboratory activities, demonstrations, and for applications of standard physics concepts. These activities add reality, enthusiasm, and fun to the physics classroom. Participants will engage in activities from portions of the AAPT publication, "The Role of Toys in Teaching Physics", and receive a sampling of selected toys they can use with their students..

4. Solar Learning Activities
Many of these activities teach you about the Sun itself. Others teacha physical concept, like rotation, using the Sun as an example.
http://solar.physics.montana.edu/YPOP/Classroom/
The YPOP Solar Classroom is filled with hands-on, solar related activities. There is something for everyone. Many of these activities teach you about the Sun itself. Others teach a physical concept, like rotation, using the Sun as an example. We invite teachers, students, parents and children of all ages to experiment with the activities below. Enjoy!
Hands-On Solar Learning Activities
SOLAR CYCLES: Investigate the cycles of the Sun with 250 years of data! Learn to recognize common features and match x-ray images of the sun with visible light images from the same day. This lesson has been adapted into an exciting ICEBREAKER ACTIVITY as well! IMAGE FILTERING: Build your own inexpensive, color, filter wheel and use it to study an image of the Crab Nebula! Discover why scientists use different filters to study astronomical images. View several images of the Sun as seen through different solar filters. SATELLITE ORBITS: Have you ever seen a satellite passing overhead at night? Did you wonder how high up it was? In this lesson you will obtain the period of the Yohkoh satellite from an image of its orbital path which is updated regularly. With this information you will calculate the height of the satellite above the Earth's surface.
FUN WITH PIXELS:
Magnify images of your school or yourself and see what happens. Learn about the pixels that make up all images. Use pixels to create secret messages to your friends, or uncover a mystery picture!

Mass Academy Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and Their Activities
Hi, I am Jacklyn Bonneau, a teacher at Massachusetts Academy for Mathematics and Science at Worcester, Massachusetts . At Mass Academy, I teach Chemistry, Integrated Chemistry and Physics (ICP), Research Seminar, and Engineering as part of out Technology program.
The academy is a school for students accelerated in mathematics and science as juniors and seniors. It is an exam school which is free to the students and considered a public school. We are located on the campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute . Our philosophy includes an active learning environment where students explore many topics in an interdisciplinary way. Please walk through some of the activities below and let us know what you think. I am currently working to construct student pages, faculty support pages will be following. At the academy, any student who has not had Chemistry in their sending school takes a semester of Chemistry as a mandatory elective. As an elective it is an "extra" academic class which contains a laboratory component and many home activities and labs. Below you will find many such activities for your use. Explorations in Physics is taken by all juniors at the academy. We do a variety of activities, most of which are hands-on and open ended. A sampling of some of those which I have worked to create is listed below.

    Applications of Probeware for Physics
    Scroll Down for Table of Contents
    Introduction
    Physics teachers probably do experiments involving collecting data more often than any other kind of teacher. Coach probeware is designed with educators needs in mind. Coach is great at quantitative experiments but it also helps students with hands-on conceptual physics. Coach is unique in that it can easily control variables in an experiment as well as recording data. This is used in a very thought provoking experiment about resonance. On this page you will find information about using CoachLab software and hardware (as well as TI-CBL) in Physics and Physical Science.
    Benefits of Coach Probeware for
    Physics Teachers
    • Coach can record data for milliseconds thus allowing you to perform many time sensitive physics experiments. Coach can record data from up to six sensors at a time. Coach can graph one sensor vs. another one thus allowing experiments such as voltage vs. current or temperature vs. pressure. Video Analysis lets you present physics concepts in a concrete way that students can easily understand.

    Amusement Park Physics
    Tell your students that they're going to be learning about conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy, the balance of motion and force, Newton's Third Law of Motion, Galileo's study of falling objects, and the interaction of gravity and weightlessness and you'll receive blank stares. But, you'll get a different reaction if you announce that in their next unit they'll be learning about Amusement Park roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, free fall and the pendulum rides. Each ride at the site has a brief description of the physics underlying it, an activity or extension (e.g., students design their own rollercoaster), and related links where students can learn more.

    SeaWorld Physics Mission Student Mission: Each of you will be placed on a scientific research team of four or five members. Each team will be given an assignment to visit specific habitats, shows and rides at SeaWorld and make observations and gather data. Since each team's assignment may vary, it is important that you carry out your mission precisely, so that the group picture will be complete. It is critical that your research group work together as a team comparing answers, taking turns making the measurements and asking questions of each other. Before your visit to SeaWorld, your team will be involved with pre-activities to prepare you for your mission. These activities will teach you how to use the tools and begin your training in collecting and analyzing data. Your mission is to understand how the physics concepts of velocity, acceleration, free fall and buoyancy apply to SeaWorld. In the post-activities, you will have an opportunity to compare your abilities to those of the animals you observed in the park activities. You will also be combining your data and observations made at Sea World with those of other teams who had the same assignment. The analysis which will then follow will give your team a chance to show what you have learned. The better your data and the more observant you are, the easier the analysis will be.

    • Prepare a handout for your students listing Newton's Three Laws of Motion, leaving blank space underneath each law for the student to write in. Ask students to paraphrase each of Newton's Laws in their own words.
      Initiate a class discussion about gravity and how it affects us each day. Now ask students to write a short story about what a typical day would be like if there was no gravitational force. Students must include descriptions of normal activities, such as eating meals, sleeping, going to school, participating in a sport, etc.

    The collision of objects moving at different velocities. The transfer of energy from one object to another. Conservation of momentum. The effect of gravity on a projectile. If that all sounds like something from a physics textbook, it very well could be. But it could also be describing the kinds of interactions and events observed in a typical professional football game. This Sunday night, February 3, the New England Patriots and the St. Louis Rams will meet in Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans, Louisiana. This annual championship game between the two National Football League (NFL) conference titleholders is usually one of the most-watched televison shows of the year. The New England Patriots upset the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-17 for the American Football Conference (AFC) championship. Riding high on spectacular play by their special teams, the Patriots are anxious to return to New Orleans where they lost their only two previous Super Bowl appearances.
