Students calculate the revolution and circumference of circles. In this calculus lesson, students derive the formulas for their given shape. They use the d=rt to calculate the distance and rate of travel.

Twelfth graders differentiate between total distance and displacement. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders rewrite word problems using calculus terminology and solve for distance in miles per hour. They analyze and solve word...

Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in...

It's just a sign of the times. Given a billboard with distances and travel times to two different interstate highway junctions, learners determine the speed limit. They must incorporate the concepts of distance, rate, and time with that...

Students calculate the distance in light years. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems involving distance, using the distance formula. They rewrite big numbers using scientific notations and apply their knowledge of everyday...

What will your class learn in a curious tale of a fungus, a virus, and a chestnut tree? Biology scholars discover the world of viral biocontrols through a DNA restriction lab. Groups research the decline of the American chestnut tree at...

Students are presented with the problem of constructing a parachute that has the maximum hang time. They construct their own parachute using available materials. Pupils drop their parachutes from a height of two meters and record the...

Middle schoolers investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.

Students calculate the speed, rate and distance. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They perform an activity with a CEENBoT and calculate the distance and speed.

Students examine United States currency with its new design. They discuss the reasons for the change. They also examine the impact this had on the economy as a whole.
