Newton's Three Laws of Motion
This resource provides alternate or additional learning opportunities for students learning the three Newton's Laws of Motion. It includes a collection of interactive materilas, videos, and other digital media. Physics TEKS, (4)(D)
Newton's Law of Inertia
This resource provides instructional resources for Newton's First Law, the law of inertia.
Newton's Law of Action-Reaction
This resource is to support TEKS (8)(6)(C), specifically the Newton's third law or the law of action-reaction.
Wave Behavior: Doppler Effect
Given diagrams, scenarios, or illustrations, students will identify the characteristics of the Doppler effect.
Waves: Practical Applications
Given diagrams, scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions, students will identify uses of waves in medical and industrial applications.
Types of Motion
Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.
6.01 Classifications of Waves
In this video, we explore the two fundamental categories of waves and give physical examples of each.
6.02 Properties of Waves
In this video, we define the fundamental quantities associated with waves, including frequency, period, amplitude, and speed.
6.03 Sound Waves
In this video, we explore how the mathematics and concepts of waves apply to a specific type of wave: sound.
6.04 The Doppler Effect and Interference
In this video, we explore the Doppler effect, which modulates the perceived frequency of waves depending on the relative motion between source and observer.
6.05 Applications of Waves
In this video, we explore how the mathematics and concepts of waves apply in the everyday world.
7.01 Electric Charge
In this video, we define electric charge, conductors, and insulators.
7.02 Coulomb's Law
In this video, we define Coulomb's law and examine the interaction between two stationary, charged particles.
7.03 Electric Field
In this video, we define the electric field and field line conventions.
2.01 Laboratory Safety
In this video, we review lab safety procedures.
2.02 Measurement and Error
In this video, we review the proper ways to measure quantities and how to account for errors due to measurement.
2.03 The International System of Units
In this video, we discuss the use of and importance of the International System of Units (SI).
2.04 Techniques for Graphing and Reporting Data
In this video, we discuss techniques for graphing and reporting data.
2.05 Vectors and Trigonometry
In this video, we present an overview of vectors and trigonometric functions, which are helpful in solving physics problems.
4.01 Newton's First Law
In this video, we explore the law of inertia, which states that when no net force acts on an object, that object travels with a constant velocity.
