Conduct an experiment to determine the accuracy of pedometers versus pedometer apps. Class members collect data from each device, analyze the data using a hypothesis test, and determine if there is a significant difference...

Life science learners construct lung-o-meters from gallon-sized milk jugs and then measure their lung capacities. For older learners, have them graph the vital lung capacities of each person in the class. Cross-curricular pieces are...

Students work in small groups to create a game. They begin by performing a fitness activity, and discussing the fact that a game must be invented in order for people to play it. Students practice playing their game, and make refinements...

In this literacy activity, students unscramble the words and then write the new spelling for the five questions. The answers are found by clicking the answers at the bottom of the page.
