Up, Up, and Away
Students study the concepts of speed and velocity and complete practice problems. In small groups, students fly airplanes and record time and distance traveled for each flight. They calculate the speed and velocity of their plane for...
Curated OER
Walking Home II
Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...
Curated OER
Vision and Optics: Light and Lenses
Students gain a conceptual comprehension of the functioning of the Human Eye in relation to optics and optical vision correction. They explore optics with light sources and various lenses, relating these to visual acuity, accommodation,...
Curated OER
Reflections on Earth: Exploring Planet Earth from Space
Students examine satellite images of Earth and contrast images at different scales. For this exploring Earth from space lesson plan, students use satellite images to contrast images at different scales, calculate distances from the scale...
Curated OER
Human Face of Mathematics - Mathematics in Aboriginal Culture
Students collect statistical data. In groups, students play a dart game and then determine the distance between darts. They collect the data and plot the information on a coordinate plane. They identify the mean and the...
Curated OER
Lessons for Atlatl Users with Some Experience-Grade 5
Fifth graders throw darts, collecting data for distance traveled. In this data analysis lesson, 5th graders throw a dart using an atlatl. They calculate the speed for each throw and determine the best dart length for distance throws.
Curated OER
Indirect Measurement, Surveying Trigonometry
Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.
Curated OER
Hit and Run
Pupils explore data collection in this instructional activity. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.
Curated OER
Triangle Island
Students calculate the altitude of triangles. In the web based lesson, students explore the interior distance from a given point in a polygon to its side. They compute the sum of these lengths. Students read life...
Curated OER
Why All Maps Lie
Eighth graders discover the fundamental advantages/disadvantages of both maps and globes. They see that maps may distort size, shape, distance and direction. They discuss the advantages and applications of 5 types of map projections and...
Curated OER
Wheeling It In!
Students use everyday materials (milk cartons, water bottles, pencils, straws, candy) to build a small-scale transportation device that incorporates the wheel and axle and the lever. They race their carts/trucks, measure distance, time...
Curated OER
Wave Superposition: Interactive On-line Mac and PC
Students study definitions of wavelength, wave speed, wave amplitude, and wave period using an interactive JAVA environment. Distance and time are given so speed=wavelength/period can be verified or deduced by students. Waves reflection...
Curated OER
Keep It Quiet!
Fourth graders study about sound waves and how they behave in various media. They create a soundproofed container. They explain that velocity describes a change in distance over time.
Curated OER
Cell Observation Exercise
Students take measurements of the distance between the objective and the slide when in focus with each objective. They determine the diameter of the field of view at each power in order to determine the size of the cells being observed.
Curated OER
Throwing
Learners throw objects overhand. In this exercise lesson students practice throwing overhand with several different objects. They practice throwing at different distances.
Curated OER
Sight
Students discover how the sense of sight helps us recognize each other and explore color, motion and distance.
Curated OER
How Strong is Your Magnet?
Students measure the strength of a magnet and graph how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases.
Curated OER
UFOs
Students, in groups, construct a catapult. Then they conduct a series of experiments by catapulting a marshmallow, using different lengths of spoons, across the room. They predict, measure, and record the measured distance on a worksheet.
Curated OER
Ready, Set, Go!
Students predict if the height of a ramp affect how far an object travels. They design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions. The results are recorded and a graph is created to show the relationship between ramp height and...
