Students examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Fourth graders investigate the principles and uses of gears, and examine how gears can be used to alter the direction of motion or the speed of an object. They observe two cars with different sized wheels roll down an inclined plane,...

Students apply definitions and theorems to verify special quadrilaterals using coordinate geometry. They apply the slope formula, the midpoint formula, and the distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram....

In this hypothesis and title writing learning exercise, students are given five experimental questions and they are to write an appropriate title and hypothesis for each question.

In this speed and experiments worksheet, students read about how to calculate the speed by using the change in distance divided by the change in time. They also read about experimental design and scientific method. Students match 5 terms...

In this inequality and measures of central tendency worksheet, students solve and graph linear inequalities. They organize given data to identify the mean, mode and range. Students interpret box-and-whisker plots. This three-page...

Students use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object using an...

Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

Students find the slopes of linear functions. For this graphing lesson, students analyze linear equations and calculate the slope of the line. They graph a line given the slope and y-intercept.

Students study the concepts of speed and velocity and complete practice problems. In small groups, students fly airplanes and record time and distance traveled for each flight. They calculate the speed and velocity of their plane for...

Students examine the advancements made in aviation during and since WWII. They read an interview with Charles McGee, research a plane, build a model of a plane, and develop a Powerpoint presentation about aircraft.

Students apply the mechanical advantages and problem-solving capabilities of six types of simple machines (wedge, wheel and axle, lever, inclined plane, screw, pulley) as they discuss modern structures in the spirit of the engineers and...

Students read and discuss Scientific Revolution information sheet and the diagram concerning the causes of the Scientific Revolution. They construct a timeline including Aristotle, Democritus, Copernicus, Bacon and Descartes along with a...

Students plan an airport visit. In this Airplanes and Airports lesson, students observe the people, activity, and machinery at airports. Then students compare the characteristics of their observations at the airport. Students make...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...
