Faster speed-Shorter Time
Students calculate the inverse variation, and speed given the formulas. In this algebra lesson, students investigate properties of conics, focusing on the hyperbola. They identify the distance between the directrix and other parts...
Curated OER
Velocity vs. Time
Twelfth graders read and interpret v-t graphs. After studying velocity and time, 12th graders read graphs to calculate the acceleration of a moving body and determine the distance and displacement of a body. Students explore the...
Curated OER
How do we measure global earthquakes?
Students examine three seismograms of a recent South American earthquake recorded by USGS stations. They measure the S-P distance and use a P and S wave travel-time graph to find the epicenter distance for each seismogram. In addition,...
Curated OER
Worksheet 20
In this math worksheet, learners investigate the given vectors. Then they apply the knowledge to prove the formula for the triangle formed by them.
Curated OER
Trigonometric Ratios
Students measure and analyze angles. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students measure angles and distances use non-traditional techniques. They identify the different ratios of sine, cosine and tangent.
Curated OER
Perimeter and Area of Rectangles
Sixth graders solve for the area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders investigate polygons and use a formula to find the area and perimeter. They find the area and perimeter of various polygons.
Curated OER
Pi
Sixth graders read the book "Sir Cumference and Knights of the Round Table" to introduce them to the concept of Pi. As a class, they discover where Pi originated and define the terms circumference, radius and diameter. To end the...
Curated OER
Worksheet 22
For this math worksheet, students apply the following: In physics, the equation W=Fd gives the amount W of energy expended in moving a distance d by applying a constant force F.
Curated OER
Exploring Volume of Cylinders
Tenth graders investigate the volume of a cylinder. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders create three-dimensional cylinders and use a ruler to determine the dimensions. The lesson plan progresses to the use of the...
Curated OER
Work
Ninth graders determine when work is being done on an object. They define work and calculate work for several examples. They define and give examples of force and distance and define power and calculate power. They determine the...
Curated OER
Drop Zone Challenge
For this science challenge worksheet, students construct a parachute that will have the longest time in seconds and best accuracy when dropped from a predetermined height. Then they use the formula given to determine the calculations.
