Fourth graders watch a video that describes the climate and vegetation zones of Hawaii. They describe the different physical conditions that create vegetation zones from the sea to the mountains. In groups, they create an illustrated...

Students will examine solids to determine which has the least surface area. They will also understand the use of units, square units, and cubic units. There is also the teaching and application of geometry formulas to perform calculations.

Pupils evaluate the impact of volcanic ash on the surroundin environment. Through discussion, videos and activities, they identify the various ways in which volcanic ash can be more detrimental than volcanic magma and lava.

In this vector worksheet students find the geometric interpretation of the change in a vector. They identify vector fields for specified functions. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

In this math worksheet, students analyze two vector fields. They tell which of the vector fields is the scaler field for the given function. Students draw solution curves to match the differential equations represented in the illustrations.

Use this lengths of horizontal and vertical line segments practice learning exercise to have learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters.  For this airplanes lesson students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land. 

In this geometry worksheet, students differentiate between regular triangles and isosceles triangles. They apply the converse theorem and the vertex angle. There are eleven questions with an answer key.

Using a plastic dome  to represent the hemisphere of the sky, your class is able to demonstrate the path of the sun at different points of the day and year.  They use a protractor to record movement and answer questions about...

Aspiring meteorologists make themselves a tool for reviewing the characteristics of each layer of the atmosphere. The procedure for this little project divides the paper into five sections, but many earth science teachers opt for the...

Four triangles are depicted for learners to construct on a geoboard. They compute and compare the areas, and so meet one of the sixth grade Common Core standards for geometry. Note that the set of triangles does not include a right...

For this tropopause worksheet, students read about the temperature of the air in the tropopause or the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth. They answer four critical thinking questions about this layer and the energy changes...

In this triangles instructional activity, students solve 4 multiple choice problems. Students find the centroid, orthocenter, incenter, and circumcenter or various triangles.

The landscape impacted by glacier activity is drawn at the top of this worksheet. Ten multiple choice questions follow, some relating to the diagram, and some about the quality of soil left by glaciation. It is not often that you come...

Students construct and launch a simple bottle rocket. Working in teams, they construct a simple bottle rocket from 2-liter soft drink bottles and other materials.

Students demonstrate rocketry principles through a cooperative, problem solving simulation. They work in teams to simulate the development of a commercial proposal to design, build, and launch a rocket.

Students construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

Students examine the dangers of mountain climbing. After watching a video, they discuss the role of a German research team going into the Alps to predict who is going to adjust to the change in oxygen levels. They discover the...

Students examine Ernest Shackleton's journey through the Antarctic and trace Shackleton's Actual Route on a map using longitude and latitude coordinates. Students compare his intended route with his actual and determine how far off...

In this water on Mars instructional activity, students use a diagram to answer four questions about the structures in the image. They find the dimensions of the image, the width of the streams half-way down their flow channels, the...

In this atmospheric carbon dioxide worksheet, learners observe a map showing the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide taken by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder instrument. Students solve 4 problems using the map. They determine...
