Fourth graders measure wind speed over a week's time uisng a ping pong and a protractor and graph the results. They convert the number of degrees to miles per hour using a scale. They discuss patterns and relationships.

For this graphing time and distance worksheet, students graph data of a two race cars as they drive over time. Students plot the time vs. the distance for both cars and answer questions about the data. They determine the speed of the...

During the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812, only 25% of the bombs and rockets fired at Fort McHenry actually reached their target. Using an interactive online simulation, combine your historical study with physics and...

A helpful physics presentation will have you talking in circles! The material covers circular motion, and includes diagrams, formulas, and example problems. When used in addition with directed instruction and a teacher-created form...

Graphs, functions, symbols, and more! Use these strategies to model everything from the flow of a river to the number of cars passing a toll booth. Presented differently but solved similarly, learners consider five different scenarios...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Practice with unit rates, proportions, and ratios when Carlos purchases an amount of bananas. Learners must interpret a graph to decide whether points on the same line represent similar proportional relationships. Use with lesson plans...

Unscramble a carnival mystery! Scholars observe a video of an overhead view of a carnival ride, The Scrambler. They then must determine mathematically where a specific car will stop after a certain amount of time.

In this math worksheet, students solve seven problems using the formula for speed, distance, and time. Students use a table to elicit the system of equations, and solve them using either combining techniques or substitution.

Students study stream speed.  In this stream speed lesson students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.

In this algebra learning exercise, students analyze the designs of a speedometer. They collect data on the distance and time as the speedometer works. They draw conclusion and make predictions from the collected data. There are 4 word...

Students determine the length of time needed to walk or run or walk a given distance. They plot the data on a graph and use the results of data collection to develop the concept of slope.

In this Olympic bar graph worksheet, students pick a sport from the 2004 Olympic games and find data from the Olympic web page. They graph the scores (times, distance, or speed) and the medals. They answer questions about the variables...

Students find the length of the arc of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of an arc and find the measure of the central angle given the length of the arc. They convert between linear and angular speed. They...

Students explore slope.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Students use a motion detector to collect data as they...

Students construct and race tin can cars. In this motion lesson plan, groups build tin racers, complete timed runs, and record their data on the provided worksheet. The teacher leads a discussion comparing data between groups. Specific...

Students research the distances between objects in the Milky Way. In this astronomy instructional activity, students calculate the time it would take for a robot to travel from Milky Way object to another. They create a travel package...

In this science instructional activity, students name what each of the units listed represent whether it is distance, time, speed, or acceleration. Then they solve each of the word problems that follow, showing all of their work.

Students explore the relationship between time traveled, distance and speed.  For this solar race car lesson students wire solar batteries using series and parallel circuitry. 

Students discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.
