For this calculus worksheet, 12th graders calculate the line tangent to a curve and find the average value of a function. There are 12 questions.

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.

Sixth graders read about and study motion. They conduct a lab in which they calculate speed using track records at their school. They graph the results and then invite a guest speaker (an officer from the local police department) who...

Students describe and quantify the motion of toy cars. In this motion lesson, students observe a battery powered toy car on a flat surface and a standard toy car on a sloped surface. They write their observations, measure average speeds,...

In this scientific method learning exercise, learners perform an experiment to determine the speed at which they can chew a piece of gum. They record data, calculate speed and answer reflection questions.

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Fifth graders utilize basic physics concepts to calculate speed of an object set in motion from various heights. In this basic physics lesson plan, 5th graders make observations, calculations, record data, and conclusions throughout...

Students work in teams conducting an experiment that demonstrates why the height of an inclined plane affects the speed at which an object travels. They record data on a chart and calculate speed to reveal the results of three trials at...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve verbal problems in which they calculate the indicated rate and choose the appropriate unit of measurement.  The three page worksheet contains a combination of nineteen multiple...

Fifth graders investigate how forces affect the motion of an object. In this physics instructional activity, 5th graders calculate an object's speed using a mathematical formula. They discuss how force and mass affects the speed.

Students use everyday materials (milk cartons, water bottles, pencils, straws, candy) to build a small-scale transportation device that incorporates the wheel and axle and the lever. They race their carts/trucks, measure distance, time...

In this light worksheet, students match 12 terms related to light and the electromagnetic spectrum to their definitions, they order waves by their speed, they analyze the energy and wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum and they...

In this refraction through a circular disk learning exercise, students are given a diagram of a circular disk of leaded glass with light striking it. Students use the diagram to find the angle of incidence of the light, the angle of...

Sixth graders compare and contrast mass and weight. In this physics lesson, 6th graders calculate speed given distance and time information. They construct a rocket and relate this to Newton's 3rd Law of motion.

In this travel time of light worksheet, students read about the NASA satellites and space probes that transmit radio signals at the speed of light across huge distances. Students solve 3 problems about data transmission from space to...

Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...

In this jogging worksheet, learners solve a distance and rate problem.  They determine the rate a jogger runs and calculate when the jogger and a train will meet.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 problem.  The answer is...

In this refraction through a triangle learning exercise, students use a given diagram of light striking a triangular piece of plexiglass to determine the light ray's angle of incidence, the ray's angle of refraction, they use Snell's Law...

Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

Students determine how the slope affects the graph of a line. They relate "b" to the "y"-intercept of a line and solve the equation of a line given "m" and "b." They are given scenarios and possible answers to which they explain why or...

In Beacon Valley, katabatic winds regularly knock fit adults to the ground. The lesson compares the actual temperatures to the wind chill after factoring in katabatic winds in Beacon Valley. Scholars learn to calculate wind chill and...

Teaching about inclined planes may seem like an uphill battle, but there's a straightforward way to do it. An Honors Physics presentation covers static and kinetic friction, the forces of friction, and inclines. Additionally,...

Do curves slow runners down or help their speed? Pupils simulate a 200-meter dash to calculate the angular and linear velocity of a runner. They then determine whether the runner is faster around the curved section of the track...
