Physicists and educationalists have many theories about why so few girls study physics. Valerie Jamieson goes back to school and asks female pupils what they really think. Vanessa Bennett, Callie ...

Welcome to Python Physics Lesson 13, where we explore how two masses interact via a spring. In this lesson, we break down the physics of spring-mass systems and demonstrate how to simulate their ...

Welcome to Python Physics Lesson 5, where we explore projectile motion with drag forces. In this lesson, we go beyond idealized motion to show how air resistance affects trajectories, velocity, and ...

So Oh. Yeah. Yeah. This is all about having combining the engineering design process and the physics theory. It uses impulse momentum, Newton's laws of motion, and kinematics, which is what they've ...

Reyna Pratt spends her days preparing high school students in Virginia for an increasingly competitive world. They learn biology, algebra, English composition, world history, and world cultures. “I ...

Each winter, students in grades five through eight at St. John's Lutheran School in Midland go on an educational field trip - to ski! Their award-winning teacher, Mark Koschmann, leads STEM activities ...

As California schools move to implement new science standards, they are under pressure to offer more physics instruction, creating a demand for teachers in a subject area where there is already a ...

The Great Smoky Mountains are wonders of nature. Thanks to my kids, I get to experience them at times. My daughter used to have volleyball tournaments in Sevierville, Tennessee, and this weekend, the ...

Five years after the creation of a multi-institution graduate school for physics PhD students, Peter McDonald and James West outline the lessons learned Diligent learning: Mark Patton from Oxford ...

With neon-colored ear plugs clamped tight, Conroe High School students gripped the aluminum bleachers as 124 decibels of roaring sound and wind heralded a recent physics lesson — an Apache helicopter.
