High schoolers perform an experiment with different sizes of followers (from an easy to follow set of teacher directions) and record their observations. They test the rotations of the driver compared to the rotations of a follower and...

For this light worksheet, students calculate the frequency and wavelength. Students practice applying Planck's constant and determining the energy of a photon. This worksheet has 9 problems to solve.

In this distance worksheet, students calculate the angular size or angular diameter of objects at a given distance. This worksheet has 6 problems to solve.

Students apply what they recall about objects in motion by animati ng sequences of pictures that model a set of physical conditions. They animate the orbital motions of the Earth, the space shuttle, and the Moon based on calculations of...

What came first, pedestrian one or pedestrian two? Scholars consider a problem scenario in which two people walk at different rates at different times. They must decide who reaches a checkpoint first. Their answers are likely to surprise...

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Connect proportional linear equations and systems. The seven-question assessment is the last installment in a 33-part series. The items cover comparing proportional relationships, slope concepts, and simultaneous linear...

In this orbit of stars in galaxies worksheet, students are given an equation that models the orbital speeds of stars as they relate to their distance from the nucleus of a galaxy. Students solve 5 problems using this equation and...

For this secondary mathematics learning exercise, high schoolers collect data based on a person’s motion. From this data, high schoolers create graphs comparing displacement, velocity, and acceleration to time. The five-page learning...

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics lesson, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric system.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students determine the speed at which we travel a circle around the axis of the earth and around the sun.  The one page worksheet contains one problem. A solution is provided. 

Young scholars, using wood blocks and model boats, investigate how the shape of an object affects friction it encounters as it is drawn through a towing tank.

Young learners explore motion graphs in this lesson. They investigate distance-time plots as they move in a specific way in front of the CBR in an attempt to make a motion plot that matches a given plot. Pupils explore the connections...

Students identify the different factors affecting the size and shape of ocean waves. In this math instructional activity, students calculate wave speed and wavelength given a mathematical formula.

For this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders are tested on the mathematics skills. Students use problem solving strategies to work the given equations and situations.

In this Dulles to Denver activity, students determine the airspeed of an airplane.  This one-page activity contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided.

In this Walk Two Moons comprehension check worksheet, students respond to 15 short answer questions covering chapters 41-42 of Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech in order to help them better understand the novel.

High schoolers interpret a message sent to space using a radio telescope and draw inferences from the interpreted message. Working with a partner, they interpret data that scientists believe is a message from aliens. They work on...

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables lesson. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms. Finally, they write...

Plumb the depths of the Submarine Ring of Fire and explore seismic waves with this lesson. Junior geologists simulate s-waves and p-waves, calculate their speeds, and then apply the data to discover the material that makes up inner...

In this motion worksheet, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

Ninth graders investigate motion. In this science lesson, 9th graders conduct experiments on objects to analyze motion and speed. They define motion in everyday life.

Investigate vectors and learn how to use them. Explore why size and direction, as well as knowing speed and distance, are important components of the vector problems you are trying to solve. This is an extensive lesson which includes six...

Scholars follow eight steps to create a flipbook and discover key facts about mammals' locomotion.
