Students investigate time. In this investigative lesson, students run through an obstacle course using standard timers. They record the time and apply this knowledge to problems in math. Students record their predictions, and graph...

Students discover time keeping by reading clocks.  In this time-telling instructional activity, students read the story Hickory Dickory Dock, and discuss the measurements of time we use.  Students complete worksheets in which...

Elapsed time is a skill developed by the single question that is the center of this activity. Fifth graders are asked to find out the time that is 2011 minutes after the beginning of 2011. This question addresses the standard that...

Students explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication lesson plan, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Students identify the multiplication values...

Third graders measure the speed at which they can walk in order to understand speed and distance traveled. They then research the history of transportation and express data in a class timeline.

Students construct a car based on directions given. In this physics lesson, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Students explore Newton's three laws of motion using a variety of activities. In this physics lesson, students calculate the average speed of a vehicle they constructed using distance and time information. They identify and draw the...
