Students find the circumference of various round objects.  In this finding the circumference of various round objects lesson, students find the circumference of the Earth.  Students find the circumference of trees, tires, and...

In this math worksheet, learners read facts about bicycling, saving fuel and helping the environment. Students are given math facts to use to complete 5 problems.

Students are introduced to two of the four principles of flight: drag and thrust. As the class watches a video on these principles, they utilize ballons, straws and clothepins to simulate what they're seeing in the show. Nice, hands-on...

Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.

Students predict if the height of a ramp affect how far an object travels. They design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions. The results are recorded and a graph is created to show the relationship between ramp height and...

In this acceleration worksheet, students use weights to increase the mass affecting the force on moving objects. Students plot a graph of their data and answer 3 questions about how the acceleration of the toy skateboard used in the...

Students determine the characteristics of a stream ecosystem and its organisms.  For this water ecology lesson students complete several labs that shows them presence of life, water appearance, and water flow.

Students pretend as if they have been hired by the commissioner of Major League Baseball. Their task is to explain the mathematics of baseball so that more people enjoy the game.

Student's measure sporadic meteor activity.  In this physics and astronomy lesson, 11th graders construct a dipole antennae, and build, test and wire a full wave diode rectifier between the dipole antenna and the laptop. 

In this gases learning exercise, students review the kinetic molecular theory and use the ideal gas law to solve 20 problems.

In this sentence completion worksheet, 4th graders fill in the blanks with 2 words for each sentence. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Given diagrams, data, or scenarios, students will calculate average speed using distance and time measurements.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand how to apply proper calculations to determine speed and velocity and clarify the meaning of instantaneous velocity.

In this activity, students will use a plywood ramp and various tornado tubes (made from tornado tube connectors and 2 liter pop bottles) to calculate the average speed of the tornado tubes. They will set up 4 investigations filling the 2...

Speed is a type of rate. Have you ever been asked to define the term speed? If so, you would probably answer, "how fast an object is moving." More specifically, speed is the distance an object travels in a given amount of time. This...

Students are introduced to the calculator as a graphing tool and distinguish between average speed and instantaneous speed.

By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: Explain the relationships between instantaneous velocity, average velocity, instantaneous speed, average speed, displacement, and time; Calculate velocity and speed given...

This lesson focuses on how to calculate average speed and distance traveled. It also explains how to convert different units of measure and provides a link to an assessment.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of speed and its SI unit, instantaneous speed and how to calculate average speed and distance or time from speed.
