Sixth graders make 2 different kinds of parachutes and record and graph the time for each one for the different drag forces. In this parachute lesson plan, 6th graders compare the results to the rest of the class of each parachute and...

Middle schoolers make a parachute. In this air resistance lesson, students create a parachute using materials they think will work the best. Middle schoolers try out their parachutes, noting which one worked the best. Students discuss...

Students examine how parachutes work, and research and discuss the first man to envision and sketch the first parachute. They analyze air resistance, drag force, drop time, and terminal velocity.

You have to crack a few eggs to make a good engineer! Working in small groups, young scholars design, build, and test devices that protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a ladder.

The classic "Egg Drop Activity" is described in this fine science lesson plan. Young scientists work together to design a container that will protect the eggs inside of it when dropped from a high place. Lots of good scientific...

Pupils construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Students study deceleration devices like parachutes and parafoils.

Students design a name tag to post on a wall chart. Teacher uses the name tags to learn student names.

Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them...

Students, in groups, first build/design something using equipment given. Then students write a detailed description of what they built. After all groups are finished they switch directions and try to build the other teams design by...

High schoolers design a rocket that stays on air for the longest period of time. In this physics lesson, students research the function of different rocket components. They test their design and make necessary modifications.

Students and parents participate in a variety of activities designed to explore the issue of every person's right to adequate housing. They make butter, make models of different types of housing, read books, discuss the rights and...

Students investigate space travel. In this space travel lesson students examine space exploration history, engineers and scientists involved in space exploration, and Newton's third law of motion. Students make rockets.

Students investigate the physics of flight through various experiments. In this physics instructional activity, students construct different flying objects. They explain the dynamics that make these object fly.

Learners apply the use of technology to real life scenarios. In this technology lesson plan, students discuss and identify a method to move sponge bob from one location to the next, without touching the floor. They share the same...

Students describe in words and graphic displays the elevation or depression profile of sections of Mars' Olympus Mons and/or Valles Marineris. They explain how orbiting spacecraft build up global maps one data slice at a time.

Pupils showcase what they are doing in physical education classes. They volunteer to participate in this activity and perform activities that they do every day in their PE classes. They demonstrate their skills in a one minute...
