Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...

Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

If your students like sports, rockets and roller coasters, then they’ll like Sir Isaac Newton! Newton’s Laws will help your students understand force, motion, and the transfer of energy. In this ...

In this captivating experiment, explore the fascinating world of electric motors and their magnetic rotors in motion. Discover the principles that power these remarkable devices as we dive into the ...

All of the objects in our solar system are acted upon by forces. Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force has both a strength and a direction. Applying a force on something–like pushing a toy car–can ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Fourth-grade students at Jackson Elementary School recently practiced measurement skills and developed an understanding of force and motion by conducting experiments in teams. Brian Hunt, from left, ...

A new experiment encodes quantum information in the motion of the atoms and creates a state known as hyper-entanglement, in which two or more traits are linked among a pair of atoms. Manuel Endres, ...

Last time the online creators from “Mommy and Me: The Listers” visited the “Houston Life” studio, mom Crystal Lister and her daughters Kinsley and Krissy literally passed fire from hand-to-hand.
