Students are introduced to the basics about zone defense in basketball. In groups, they practice this technique to turn away from gravitating to the ball handler. They also complete non-bounce passes and examine how to move without a...

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between mass and speed. In this physics lesson, 5th graders experiment with motion by being given a ramp, two balls, and blocks or books for elevation. Students determine how different variables...

Students explore density by floating golf balls. They explore having their golf balls float halfway in a container of water and discuss density and its realtionship to where the golf balls are floating. After adding food coloring, they...

Students play a cooperative game.  In this health and fitness lesson, students organize a ball game and keep score. Students get into groups and try to make it to around all bases.

In this secondary mathematics learning exercise, students determine the largest number of ping pong ball that cannot be purchase given the various packing numbers. The one page learning exercise contains one problem. The solution is...

Third graders create Zoom Balls to explain how sometimes both forces of push and pull need to be used at the same time.

Students investigate Newton's Laws of Motion and the Law of Conservation of Energy. They examine how a ball and half-ball behave and relate these laws to what happens to the ball. Students produce a graph of the data collected and...

Eighth graders participate in different activities that reinforce Newton's Laws. Activity begins with question/answer session about Newton's first and second laws. Students then try to bounce kick ball off of a wall to get it to given...

Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

Learners experiment with distance, speed, and motion by graphing the motion of a bowling ball. In this distance versus time graphing lesson, students observe the speed and distance of a rolling ball and graph their findings. They then...

Students reinforce the cues involved in order to successfully trap a soccer ball with the sole of their foot.

Fifth graders work in teams of four to measure the rebound heights of a tennis ball dropped from four different heights. They investigate with the bouncing balls to measure changes in the type of energy they possess.

Eighth graders play Medical War Ball. In this Civil War activity, 8th graders research the role of women in the Civil War as nurses. They play dodge ball with slightly different rules to incorporate a nurse on each team. 

Students determine the exact relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the distance that it rebounds.

Learners investigate the parameters involved with launching a basketball at an angle.  In this motion activity students predict and sketch graphs that show the motion of a ball toss. 

Students role several balls of different weights down a ramp and into a paper cup and record how far each ball made the paper cup move. They then answer questions that help them analyze their results and reinforce the idea that energy...

For this ESL location word matching worksheet, students examine the location of a ball in 9 clip art pictures. They match the picture to the description of the ball's location.

In this counting worksheet, learners count the 7 beach balls on the worksheet. They then write the number 7 in the blank space on the worksheet.

In this sport worksheet, learners circle the types of balls used in their favorite sport, then count the various type of balls and record the number.

Students discuss the responsibilities of advancing in grade and participating in more activities. In this grade transition lesson, students watch a 'ball juggling' demonstration to visually identify the responsibilities they have as...

High schoolers investigate and compare the bouncing ability of the materials from which four different balls are made. They determine which material performs the best for use as a basketball. After collecting data in a small group they...

In this counting activity, students count the number of blocks, balls, crayons, and chairs they see in the room and cut and paste the correct number next to the item. Students count 4 items.

For this counting/coloring worksheet, students follow directions to color designs on a large ball that correspond to numbers. Worksheet is designed for fine motor and basic counting practice.

In this early childhood letter Bb worksheet, students practice tracing the uppercase B and lowercase b lines before they form the same letters independently on the lines provided. A picture of a ball is included.
