Students explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Students solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces, fraction and...

In this solar storm worksheet, students use images of a solar tsunami to determine the size and speed of the wave. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

Students improve their cardio-respiratory fitness and to learn about our country. They move (skip, jog, walk, slide, gallop, etc.) for 2 minutes (approximately .2 mile). Fourth graders calculate our weekly mileage and are responsible...

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is about the concept of data analysis with the use of quadratics. They use a Precalculus text in order to give guidance for independent practice and to serve as a source for the teacher to use. The...

Students explore the size of our Universe by understanding how long it takes to travel around from object to object in it - even if you travel at the speed of light! In making our exploration, we will examine ways of measuring distance,...

Students explore projectile motion using an interactive program and the projectile launcher. In this physics lesson, students calculate a give projectile motion problem. They compare their answer to Interactive Physics' answer.

Middle schoolers determine which wind-up toy is the fastest. However, they can NOT race the toys. They must find another way. On the first day of the activity, students work in pairs or small groups to develop and write a plan.

Students explore Jupiter's Moons. They calculate and predict the location of Jupiter's 4 large moons. In addition, they draw Jupiter with its moons correctly shown for the time of the observation.

Students, through the use of the Curveball interactive software package, become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an object affects its ability to lift, spin, and curve. After reading the explanation given...

High schoolers gain an understanding of Kepler's 2nd law--that planets (and satellites) move fastest at their closest approach to the center of attraction, and slow down when far away. They explore the concepts of "potential energy" and...

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...

Young scholars describe the different units of measurement. In this space science lesson, students calculate astronomical distances using a scale. They explain the significance of using scientific notation in expressing very small...

Second graders use mental math in calculations involving addition and subtraction. They study doubles facts to work out addition problems mentally using part and or whole reasoning.

Fourth graders perform basic calculations using time. They read and construct a variety of scales, timetables, and charts. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore the situation mathematically.

In this moon worksheet, students calculate information about the crater that was created by a massive impact. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Students utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball.  In this physics lesson, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by breaking the video...

Students relate algebra to real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, students design a plan to help traffic flow smoothly using velocity and speed. This assignment is done using Microsoft Excel.

Students investigate how skaters can turn in midair. In this physics lesson, students relate Newton's Laws to skateboarding. They carry out the maneuver with the help of their classmate.

Students convert mole to mass to particles and vice versa. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss the importance of Avogadro's number. They apply what they have learned in a team competition.

Young scholars solve several differential equations. In this calculus lesson plan, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.

Students discover the functions of instruments used to help predict the weather. In groups, they use the Beaufort Scale to calculate the wind speed and a chart to determine cloud cover. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson plan.

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...
