Fifth graders explore how energy changes from one form to another within their surroundings. They explore how kinetic and potential energy relate to each other and the ability to do work. Students observe example of both kinetic and...

Students discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.

Eighth graders work together in groups to discover linear functions. They are giving a situation and they are to recreate it in their groups. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine models whose behavior can be described by a linear function.  The four page worksheet contains explanation of topic, three guided problems, and eight practice problems. ...

Learners solve problems involving electric charges and force. In this physics lesson, student solve word problems using addition and subtraction of vectors. They identify the direction represented by a vector as it relates to an electric...

Students explore the concept of mathematical models. For this mathematical model lesson, students create a mathematical model from data from 4 cities over 15 months. Students are told they are working for a weather station. Students...

Students work on a virtual earthquake to increase their understanding of seismograms, earthquake epicenters, Richter Magnitude and triangulation when finding the epicenter of an earthquake.

Students test different designs of helicopters to determine what of the four designs will fall the slowest.  In this helicopter lesson students complete an activity and fill out their worksheet. 

Students identify the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson plan, students label slopes as positive, negative, zero or undefined. They use the slope formula to find the slope algebraically and graphically.

Students listen to stories about the seasons, and discuss the kinds of clothing people wear for each season. They take a walk, collecting items to go with each season, then draw pictures to match the season.

Students create a poster to explain composite functions. In this composite function worksheet, students explore linear equations and functions. They complete a worksheet and use manipulatives to complete problems.

Students apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In this calculus lesson, students identify the graphical connections between functions and accumulation functions. They use a TI to represent the functions.

In this polar coordinates worksheets, students change ordered pairs from rectangular form to polar form. They plot and label points and identify alternative coordinate pairs for given points. There are approximately 20 problems on this...

Students examine the effects of a stimulus on a reflex by changing the strength or force at which the stimulus is applied. Students chart and record data of the lab using video tape.

Students investigate the concept of Veggie Gardening and develop the plans for a successful yield of crops. They answer some practical questions and then apply the information to the horticulture garden. The project includes finding the...

For this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...

Students learn the importance of caring for eggs as they hatch chickens. In this egg hatching lesson, students observe what happens when eggs are hatched into chickens by completing a e-worksheet and watching a web based movie.

Ninth graders design a safe passage through a 2-D obstacle. In this geometric math lesson, 9th graders engage in a hands on activity to better understand the concept of geometric and algebraic perpendicularity. Students will work in...

Students create a glyph (a symbol or icon) that represents who they are, and read the glyphs of others to explain the glyphs' data.

Students design a fitness trail which incorporates warm-up, aerobic, and cool-down phases. Each student develops their own plan and monitors their own progress through the use of an exercise log.

Students simulate the role of travel agents addressing the needs of a foreign family visiting a state in the US. They prepare a presentation and informational sales pitch of a proposed travel itinerary.

High schoolers examine the nations, battlefields, troop movement of the Germans through Belgium and the location of both fronts during World War I by creating a map. They visualize the strength of the Germans early in the war.

Sixth graders conduct and analyze a survey that explores public perceptions about the reasons for seasonal change. They measure the changing length of days, observe shadows and discuss how the Earth's axis of rotation affects the seasons.

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...
