HAVE YOU experienced touching a hot object–like the cover of your kettle? Your reflexes immediately responds to the heat that is being transferred from the hotter metal to your colder hand, thus, you pull your hand back, right away. That is an example of energy…

HERE ARE five multiple choice questions on select topics in optics.  

HERE ARE the multiple choice on the Law of Universal Gravitation. You may check your notes, books, and other online resources to answer the questions below. Quiz expires by 8PM tonight, January 17, 2014.   More review questions will be coming up soon, only here…

HERE ARE review questions in Mechanics covering Newton’s Laws, momentum, and impulse. This multiple choice quiz will close at 8pm tonight, January16. Make sure you have sent your responses before that time. Review the concepts, using your notes, books, or online resources to make sure…

Hi, Kids! This is our introductory activity to our new topic: light. All of us have experienced light. You observe everyday that when the sun sets in the afternoon, it becomes dark. When you turn of the lamp at night, it becomes dark. This means…

IT’S ALWAYS good to see my students working their brains out to use what they have learned in the classroom to build something. After we have discussed rotational motion, and work, power, and energy, I asked my students to build a compound machine, with three…

AS WE conclude our lessons on electricity, I asked my students to come up with an infographic on the enrichment topics, electrical safety and electricity economics. I created this infographic below, which summarizes the mechanics of the project. With this project, I aim to integrate…

ONE OF my favorite sources of learning materials online is PhET, which is run Colorado University. Here is another activity I designed using a simulation available on the PhET website in teaching basic circuits. Electricity is one interesting topic in Physics because it is a…
