Students calculate wind chill using a mathematical formula. In this earth science lesson, students compare the wind chill in Antarctica to that of their local area. They explain how this can lead to hypothermia.

Ninth graders select and build one of five different paper airplane designs and test them for distance and for time aloft. Part of this activity is designed to explore NASA developed software, FoilSim, with respect to the lift of an...

Students investigate the motion of a swinging pendulum. They experiment with a pendulum to find out why it might swing at different speeds at different times.

Students work together to compare and contrast Mars and Earth. Using the internet, they answer questions given to them by their teacher and calculate answers showing their work. They graph their answers and discuss the results of the...

In this kinetics and equilibrium activity, students use the diagram to answer the questions as it relates to endothermic or exothermic reactions. Students indicate the result in the reaction rate as speeding up or slowing down.

In this unit III: 3 worksheet, students describe motion in words and graph drawings. Students calculate the instantaneous velocity and average velocity. Students also graph the displacement of the object in the word problems.

Students arrange various pictures of the Earth to identify its journey through space. In this Earth's rotation instructional activity, students use models of the Earth and demonstrate its journey through space. Students complete the...

Students determine the coefficient of friction for different surfaces. In this physics lesson, students identify the factors that affect friction. They collect data and write a formal lab report.

Students explore the concepts of velocity, acceleration, distance and football. They collect data on the velocity of a football and they determine the distance and height of a football when it is thrown. Students compare their findings...

Eighth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  In this eight grade math/science lesson, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose the...

Students calculate the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. They identify the four different quadrants.

Students sketch cones and identify its properties. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the surface area and volume of each three dimensional shape. they define and sketch prisms, pyramids and cylinders.

Students are introduced to the pedometer, and use this tool to associate physical activity (physical energy) with calories burned (chemical energy). They comprehend the making and burning of energy.

Unit rates are introduced to your math minors on this printable worksheet, complete with answers. There are only three problems: the first involves biking speeds, the second the cost of bracelets, and the third the cost of apples....

Students investigate the relationship between force and momentum using motion detectors and sensors. In this physics lesson, students graph experimental results. They calculate impulse using the area under the graph.

Young scholars calculate the midpoint of a line. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different parts of the coordinate plane. They use the midpoint formula to find the middle of segments between a pair of coordinates.

Learners calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.

Students use their knowledge of multiplication to learn problem solving strategies to solve division problems. In this division lesson plan, students play a circle game, work in small groups to review times tables, and solve division sums.

Young scholars use the reaction time to figure out problems. They use the following example to get them started with reaction time: the edge of a ruler is placed near a person's thumb and index finger and, without warning, the ruler is...
