Students solve problems using implicit differentiation. For this calculus lesson, students take the derivative to calculate the rate of change. They observe two robots and draw conclusion from the data collected on the two robots.

Learners study Faraday's law of induction and the equations that show how to calculate electromagnetic induction.  In this electromagnetic lesson students complete several experiments on the law of induction.

Students determine their reaction time using a ruler. In this Physics lesson plan, students calculate the class' means and variances. They plot the graph and analyze if there are outliers.

Exploring the weather has never been more intriguing! Whether you are looking for a quick glance at the 10-day forecast, trying to figure out if lightning is heading your way, or wondering what the pollen count is, you will find out...

In this accumulation function worksheet, students find the graphical relationship between two functions. They describe the relationships between the graphs of a function when accumulation begins at 0 and at 2.

Seventh graders investigate velocity and speed. For this Vernier Probe lesson, 7th graders will use probes to calculate motion, speed, and velocity of an object. They will create a graph of their collected data.

Students discover how to use maps and why they are important when using a map. They calculate distance using a map scale and time using travel speed and a map scale.

In this forces worksheet, students define acceleration, speed, velocity, and net force. Then students calculate net force on objects, order momentum of objects, and determine which object will acceleration the fastest. This worksheet has...

Students predict the speeds of humans and hermit crabs and investigate their predictions using ratios and formulas. AppleWorks is used for this instructional activity, which includes a data worksheet.

Raise the energy level of your physical science class with this exciting hands-on activity. Applying their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy and Newton's laws of motion, young engineers use foam tubing and marbles to create...

Students, individually and in groups, utilize Internet sites to access maps, scales, and information to assist them in calculating distances. They research modes of travel from their homes to Nagano, Japan, and write a travel agenda for

Students determine speed and bearing, calculate a position by dead reckoning, and modify this position using vectors for wind and current drift.

Students read a NASA Web-based text and use its information to complete an activity which uses a pitot tube to calculate the speed of an airplane.

Fourth graders determine how long it would take to fly to each of the planets in the solar system. They do two calculations: one, if they were using conventional jet, the other if they were using the fastest spacecraft possible.

Students use the World Wide Web to access additional information needed to complete the activities on the forces on an airplane, the function of the stabilizer, and the calculation of Mach speed, temperature, pressure, and thrust.

Students are introduced to the the formula for calculating travel time. They listen to different scenarios relating to long distance travel into space and calculate travel time using the formula.

Fifth graders investigate how to find the average and the concept of a per unit quantity and its applications. They also make connections of using population density and how to find the speed with its relating formula. This is bringing...

Students graph the relationship between the release point and the final position of curveballs and fastballs thrown by both right and left handers given a constant speed, and explain the relationships illustrated by the graphs of data.

Students use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.

Students use the Internet to do research on the roller coasters at Magic Mountain Amusement Park. They must use mathematical formulas to calculate the highest and fastest coaster at the park.

Students calculate feeding rates of whales and compare this to the feeding rates of humans.

Pupils calculate the stride length of a walking or running animal. They use scale models of dinosaurs to calculate the leg and stride length of the animals.

Students are introduced to the concept of motion. In groups, they practice calculating the rate, time, and distance of various objects on a variety of surfaces. To end the lesson, they apply the same principles to those objects moving...

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...
