Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of sound waves and frequency. As a class, they listen to the differences between different types of instruments. To end the lesson, they practice identifying low and high pitches and playing...

Students examine the problem concerning the evolution of seed color in pinto bean plants "How does natural selection change the frequency of genes or traits over many generations"? Students work in teams to design an experiment that...

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers examine the data from the potato hunt where potatoes are found like Easter Eggs. The data of the number of potatoes found is recorded in the frequency tables.

In this atomic spectra worksheet, students answer eighteen questions about wavelengths of light, the emission spectrum, energy of photons, the frequency of electromagnetic radiation and electrons in the excited state.

For this harmonic motion worksheet, learners read about the difference between harmonic motion and linear motion. They are given the parts of harmonic motion, graphs of harmonic motion and equations to find the period and frequency of...

In this color worksheet, high schoolers answer 16 questions about light, color and wavelength. They label a graph of position vs. displacement and answer questions about the graph including finding the frequency, amplitude, and wavelength.

Young scholars explore sound waves by conducting an experiment in class. In this sound frequency lesson, students utilize a tuning fork in class and identify which objects in class create different sound pitches on the fork. Young...

Students are introduced to mapping by crossover frequency. Genes travel as packaged trains on chromosomes. They use this experiment, genetic mapping assignment, that allow students to quickly complete the assignment and yet examine the...

Students use a mathematical simulation of genetic drift to answer questions about the factors that influence this evolutionary process. They run a series of simulations varying allele frequency and population size and then analyze their...

In this sound worksheet, students answer 17 questions about sound, the wavelength of sounds, the frequency of sounds, the speed of sound, the types of sound waves and the effects of the medium sound travels through on its speed.

In this standing waves worksheet, students answer 9 questions about graphs of various waves. They identify standing waves and their nodes, anti-nodes, wavelengths, amplitude, frequency and number of cycles.

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students roll a six-sided number cube and record the frequency of each outcome.  Students graph their data using a frequency chart and keep tally marks...

Students start to think of evolution in terms of populations. The class follows a cartoon scenario of a rabbit population in which there is selection and change of gene frequency. They receive copies of the scenario or the whole thing...

Students count, sort, and classify jellybeans by color. They use their data to create a bar graph. Students are given a small bag of jellybeans, and a worksheet on Counting Candies Tally Chart. They work in small groups. Students are...

In this central tendency activity, 8th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the mean, mode, and median of various situations. First, they prepare a frequency distribution with a class interval for the data found...

In this atomic structure worksheet, students solve twelve problems related to wavelength, frequency, electron transitions, emission spectra and quantum number.

In this survey and graphing worksheet, students take a survey of 10 friends by asking them to vote for their favorite musical instrument. They fill in a tally chart, track the tally marks, and develop a bar graph with the information.

In this color instructional activity, students read about light, prisms, the RGB model and the CMYK model. Students match colors with their definition, they draw the color chart, they apply the RGB and CMYK models to make colors and they...

In this exploring pendulums learning exercise, students experiment with pendulums they make in the lab. They vary the length of the strings and the weights to observe the changes in the pendulum's amplitude and frequency. They answer 3...

For this radiation and temperature worksheet, students use 2 methods to derive the Wein Displacement law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a body to the frequency where the Planck curve's value is at its maximum....

Students solve the following problem concerning the evolution of seed color in pinto bean plants: "How does natural selection change the frequency of genes or traits over many generations?" They use the constructivist approach to...

Students examine the molecular studies of organisms that have led to a new era in their understanding of speciation and evolutionary relationships. Students study the allelic frequency of genes controlling specific molecules and assess...
