Displacement is a foundational concept for physics pupils. If they are having trouble discerning it from distance, this activity can help clear things up. The first page is essentially a piece of graph paper. It has a compass rose and a...

Across the top of the page is a large Z diagram representing varying degrees of acid-base equilibria. Advanced chemistry classes answer eight questions using the values listed for the H+ and the OH- ions that are part of the...

How do one's habits and lifestyle choices affect the environment? Through a short online survey, learners will calculate their own carbon footprints then determine how to reduce their impact on the environment through simple steps, such...

How many humans does it take to power a light bulb? The 10th part of a 25-lesson Energy Systems and Solutions unit has learners conduct an experiment to calculate power. They then use the results to determine how many classmates they...

Students use a hypothetical scenario to investigate inhalation of an airborne pollutant and ingestion of a waterborne pollutant. They work in pairs, investigating differences in overall exposure to contaminants by calculating inhalation...

High schoolers measure various dimensions of a male and a female dolls body and scale them proportionally to average human measurements. They calculate the appropriate scale factor (magnitude) to enlarge their doll and apply that scale...

Students examine how a rate is calculated from two points. Using battery operated cars, pairs of students measure time and distance. Afterward, they use this data to calculate the rate. Students then plot four ordered pairs and discover...

Students complete Part A: Dissecting a Circle. They generate their own chords within the circle. Students measure the various parts of the arc in the shot put pit. The first two measurements, the chord and distance from the midpoint of...

Upper elementary or middle schoolers will explore non-linear functions, graphing, and the curve of best fit through real-life data collection and trial analysis. They explore the concept of half-life and radioactive decay using M&Ms,...

In this chemistry overview worksheet, students calculated the volume of different gases and liquids given in a word problem. Students had to calculate the molecular mass and write the empirical formula and the molecular formula.

An MRI uses both a magnetic and electricity, so how do the two interact with each other? Class members observe the effects on a charged particle when it is subject to both an electrical and magnetic field. The teacher background...

High schoolers use diagrams of the constellation Orion and the constellation Ursa Major which show the distances between the stars of the constellations. They calculate the perimeters of each, find the average distance of the stars for...

For these calculating and converting fractions and percentages worksheets, learners add and subtract fractions, solve word problems, and convert fractions to percentages and percentages to fractions. They solve 85 problems.

Technology tutees read a description about coconuts and how they are used to make biodiesel fuel. Note that the link to the article does not work, and the article does not appear to be available online. There are, if you look for one,...

Students calculate the standard and metric measurements of a playground. In this measurement lesson, students use GPS coordinates and graphing calculators to determine the dimensions of an area outside of the school in both standard and...

Students graph linear http://www.lesson planplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson plan, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon,...

Examine ratios and proportions in several real-world scenarios. Children will calculate unit rates, work with proportions and percentages as they plan a party, purchase produce, and take a tally. This lesson plan recommends five...

Using Google SketchUp, learners draw a model of their bedroom. They begin by measuring the dimensions of their bedroom, inputting this information into the software program, and calculating perimeter and area. This is an interesting and...

After giving the definitions of the different compound terms and formulas, equations are provided to teach your chemists to calculate different values. Relative formula mass, atomic mass, and empirical mass are shown and explained with...

By splitting a rectangle into equal parts, scholars can see area as well as calculate it. First, they determine the area of a rectangle given its side lengths. Then, they use the space provided to segment it into four equal parts,...

You would think that humans make up more mass than ants do on this planet, but think again, and this time by performing calculations. Middle schoolers use scientific notation to compute and compare the estimated total mass of all humans...

How do you calculate your Body Mass Index, and why is this information a valuable indicator of health? Class members discover not only what BMI is and practice calculating it using the height and weight of six fictitious individuals, but...

Just how far off is the least squares line? Using a graphing calculator, individuals or pairs create residual plots in order to determine how well a best fit line models data. Three examples walk through the calculator procedure of...
