Students identify different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students name polygons using the number of sides. They calculate distance and slopes using the correct formula.

Young scholars place the stories of Chinese migration to Australia into geographical context, appreciating the distances travelled and the time involved - suggest reasons that people may have for migrating to Australia.

Students are introduced to safety rules for observing the Sun, how the distance of the Sun is measured using Kepler's Laws and identify the visible layers of the Sun. They discuss solar eclipses and view images of eclipses using the...

Middle schoolers study the basic concepts of the Global Positioning System and how it increases the accuracy of navigation. They examine trilateration and how the speed of light is used to calculate distances.

Young scholars determine how engineers decide on choices for final designs and sites for construction. They look at a surveyor's report while they evaluate sites where a pyramid could be build. They consider the distance the pyramid...

Fourth graders develop problem solving skills while learning to measure an athletic track. The focus upon logic and reasoning is helpful for all types of science and math calculations.

Students work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...

Learners are able to identify the units associated with linear work. They are able to calculate the work done on an object. Students discover how the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves determines the work done...

Young scholars explore visosity of matter. They run tests of various liquid substances to observe and compare rates of flow of different substances. In addition, they relate viscosity to distance travelled by sample substances.

Students identify, demonstrate properly, and apply correct position and posture while working at the computer. They also demonstrate optimal posture and position at the computer workstation, including: sitting up with the arms held out...

Students define the five rules of loci. In this geometry lesson, students identify the locus of points that creates a circle. They calculate the distance from a fixed line and point.

Pupils study maps and use web based activities to develop their mapping skills. In this mapping skills lesson, students use the internet to define cartography they make a list of information regarding a typical road map and explain the...

Students investigate error. As shown in earlier activities from navigation lessons 1 through 3, without an understanding of how errors can affect position, one cannot navigate well. Students explore how computers can help in navigation....

Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Students examine how physical quantities and laws depend distance, mass and time. They examine the MKS system; meter, kilogram and second, for doing calculations.

Students explore how different textures provide varying amounts of friction to objects moving across them. They build a tool to measure the amount of friction between a note card and various surfaces by measuring the distance that a...

Students model the geologic timescale using distance as a metaphor for time. They write a summary of a major event or fossil organism. and station themselves and their summaries along a path within a gymnasium, and present their...

Students work with a partner to plot the trajectory of a spacecraft traveling between Earth and Mars in the 2018 and returning in 2020. They examine the key factors when planning a mission to and from Mars such as travel time, distances...

For this identifying musical interval numbers worksheet, student imagine the bottom note as 1 and count up each line and space from 1 to fill in the blanks with interval numbers learning how to recognize distances quickly.

Students investigate the Winter Olympics by studying the geography of the 2010 Vancouver games.  In this competitive sports instructional activity, students identify the planning and preparation needed to produce an event like the...

Learners explore the extreme between the distance to the moon in comparison to the size of a particle of moon dust and solve problems related to the Apollo space missions.

Students compare and contrast world maps and globes. They convert a 3-dimensional globe to a 2-dimensional map. They are introduced to the Mercator map projection. They observe map distortions of shape, area, distance, directions and angle.

High schoolers examine Kepler's Laws. They confirm Kepler's 3rd law by comparing orbital periods and mean distances for all major planets and study conic sections, qualitatively.

Students research, using the Internet, cultures of the world. They identify countries, their currency, holidays, climate and societal information. They look at the distance of international cities from their hometown.
