Students examine the Magnus effect and its history.  In this forces lesson plan students investigate the lift of a rotating cylinder.      

Students use styrofoam and cardboard to create prints. Students choose a theme and create designs and pictures on styrofoam and cardboard. Students also use construction paper, cardboard cylinder sections to make their art.

Seventh graders investigate the relationship between energy and matter, and measure the mass of various objects. They listen to a teacher-led lecture about potential energy, and in small groups measure the mass of various objects such...

Students explore the concept of density. They use the the formula Density = Mass/Volume, one can determine where certain liquids and objects will settle in a graduated cylinder. In addiiton, they design a process to separate the liquids.

In this solid shapes reteaching worksheet, 1st graders review solids in a box at the top of the page. They see examples of a sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, and a rectangular prism. They circle the objects with the same shape as the one...

In this identifying faces of solid figures learning exercise, students solve each of the 6 problems that require them to identify the faces of a cylinder, box, cone, and pyramid.

In this SAT practice test, students compute the area and perimeter of polygons.  They determine the volume of a cylinder and solve problems with exponents.  This one-page worksheet contains 10 problems.  Answers are provided.

Learners identify and use appropriate formulas to find surface areas of solid figures, practice using formula sheet to solve textbook problems, construct solid figures of given surface area using TABS+ software program, and use Internet...

First graders use Kidspiration to sort solid figures by the number of faces. They work in pairs with a set of solid figures. Students sort them according to the number of faces, or whether or not it can roll, slide, be stacked. Students...

In this 3D shapes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 5 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the logo item shown. Then, students find the height of a cuboid given its length and width. In addition, they circle...

In this solid figures worksheet, 5th graders are given six objects in which they are asked to chose which solid figure each object looks like. Students are provided a visual of each solid figure.

In this math study guide, learners solve problems previously studied throughout the school year. Problems include, but are not limited to, volume, area, perimeter, square roots, binomials, trinomials, graphing, and consumer math. This...

In this surface area worksheet, students find the area of rectangular prisms and cylinders.  This four-page worksheet contains eight multi-step problems.  Answers are provided on the last two pages.

In this geometric shapes instructional activity, students answer 6 questions about geometric figures. For each question, a diagram of a geometric figure is shown and students are asked to choose the correct name for the figure shown. 

In this geometry worksheet, students choose the multiple choice answer to 15 questions involving several different elements of geometry.

Name that shape! This simple worksheet has learners identify each geometric figure. They examine rectangular prisms, cylinders, rectangular pyramids, and hexagonal prisms. This one-page worksheet contains 8 problems, and the goals seems...

Middle schoolers investigate Pi. In this mathematics lesson, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.

There are so many topics touched upon in this Jeopardy-style science game, that it is difficult to classify! The categories include electricity, matter, ecology, earth and space, and scientific investigation. This would best be used at...

More than 70 percent of people and 90 percent of businesses use spreadsheets regularly. While many courses overlook the important skill, the simple water lab focuses on entering spreadsheet data, formatting it, and printing plots based...

The humble soda can gets the geometric treatment in an activity that links math and science calculations. After a few basic assumptions are made and discussed, surface area calculations combine with density information to develop an...

Math: The only subject where the solution to a problem is seven million matches. Young scholars first complete an assessment task estimating the number of matches they can make from a tree of given dimensions. They then evaluate provided...

Sometimes being mixed up is a good thing! Young chemists explore the basics of making solutions with a realistic interactive. Pupils observe the differences in volume using quantities of water and ethanol, as well as the effects of...

Understanding volume means less mess in the kitchen. Viewers observe a can of peas and a small bowl. They must determine if all of the peas from the can fit into the bowl without spilling using volume formulas to solve the equation.

As the saying goes, a penny saved is a penny earned. Young scholars use a penny activity to earn their way to an understanding of volume. Given three different-sized cylindrical containers, individuals make calculations to determine the...
