Students use Hudson River salinity data to create a line graph that shows the location of the salt front, and use math skills to explore how this location varies over time. They use the graph to estimate the location of the salt front...

Young scholars examine how water affects the community of Braintree. Using a map, they locate main resevoirs and rivers in the area and research the history of one of the resevoirs. They use charts and graphs to show how land use has...

Students analyze energy efficiency in lighting by visiting eight different classroom stations, determine cost vs. light output, graph their results, and answer questions on worksheet.

Students experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Third graders examine the concept of work as the movement of an object through a distance. They define gravity and determine what type of work is caused by gravity. They measure how far an object is moved by a force. They make a...

Students discuss definitions of estuary, salinity, and the salt front. They listen as the teacher explains the Hudson River Miles and ways the upriver and downriver sections relate to the north and south. Students graph the salt front...

Eighth graders complete labs using toy trucks to study deceleration, record thier data, and then transfer it to graphing software to produce a graph. They create a lab report of the completed lab using a word processing program.

Students experiment with magnets to determine the distances at which they attract and repel each other.

In this precalculus worksheet, 12th graders find the solutions to the parametric equations and practice with the help of a graphing calculator.

Eighth graders examine the difference between speed, velocity and acceleration.  In this velocity lesson students read and construct a line graph and a bar graph to show information about velocities of sports activities. 

Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Students draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents

Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Students predict, then measure how far a bug can travel on a "course" over a specified amount of time, then construct graphs based on the data they acquire.

Middle schoolers discover the difference between kinetic and potential energy in an experiment using toy cars and tracks. In small groups, they set up the experiment to determine the distance milk cartons will travel when hit by toy car....

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.

This site is used for distance education purposes and professional development of teachers

Students examine the paintings of various Indiana artists. Using the internet, they relate the landscapes shown to the history of the state and how it affected Native Americans. Using the information they gathered, they write story...

Students investigate the relationship between shape of object and moment of inertia. For this physics lesson, students collect data from the experiment and use spreadsheet to graph them. They discuss how load affects deflection.

Learners explore logic and use Geometer’s Sketchpad and patterns of logic to solve a puzzle.

Writing an equation of a line is as easy as m and b. A lesson presentation gives individuals different strategies for writing equations of lines. Some items provide a slope and a point while others provide two points. Whatever the given,...

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.

Students identify when uniform motion occurs. They watch a teacher made PowerPoint explaining the concept of uniform motion and carry out an experiment to understand the concept.

A nine-page physics resource supports your lesson on acceleration. A step-by-step lesson plan walks you through the materials you need, the background information, steps for leading experimentation, and the explanation of the results....
