In this solar flares learning exercise, students observe a sequence of figures of a solar flare observed in 2003 from the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager satellite. Students solve 6 problems including finding the scale of...

In this solar and auroral events worksheet, students answer 5 questions about a coronal mass ejection that traveled to the Earth. They find the time it took to arrive and they determine the speed of the coronal mass ejection in...

Students create piston systems and explore the conversion of linear to rotary motion that propels a car. In this motion lesson, students build and test a model piston/crankshift system and discover why there is a maximum limit to how...

For this secondary mathematics worksheet, students use the given information regarding a rocket’s distance and time to calculate the speed of sound.  The one page worksheet contains one problem with the solution. 

In this applied trigonometry problems worksheet, students solve 12 short answer word problems. Students use trigonometric ratios to find angles of elevation and depression. Students find distances between objects using trigonometric...

In this experimental design worksheet, students use a cup and coins to determine the distance they can blow a cup with varying amounts of coins. They analyze their results and design an experiment using the same materials.

In this Bohr model worksheet, students read about Neils Bohr and the model he proposed of the atom. Students answer nine questions about his theory that electrons travel in orbitals and give off energy when they are excited.

In this sound learning exercise, high schoolers answer 17 questions about sound, the wavelength of sounds, the frequency of sounds, the speed of sound, the types of sound waves and the effects of the medium sound travels through on its...

Students work in groups to increase nutritional awareness.  In this health and fitness lesson plan, students travel to various stations and complete the task on a body composition card. 

Students use the design process to investigate physical science.  In this force and motion instructional activity, design a track to achieve a specified outcome. Students complete additional experiments with speed and...

Sources of light, and the reflection of light off of objects, are the focus of this brief and simple science worksheet. Learners must trace the path that light takes which enables a boy to read a book. A suggested activity is to have the...

Students investigate the concept of velocity and apply it to the velocity of sound and measure the velocity of sound by measuring the echoes produced in a tube. They show their calculation of time and speed, and then conclude that sound...

Students examine how work is measured and name the units that are used to measure it.  In this science lesson plan students create their own story problem. 

Students demonstrate an understanding of the text by completing a propulsion activity, charting the results, and answering questions that demonstrate an understanding of rocket propulsion.

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.

Are you going on a trip? ¿Cómo estás viajando? Whether Spanish learners are taking el avión, el autobus, or el tren, they'll know how to describe and pronounce their modes of transportation with an interactive Spanish resource.

Challenge your young readers with a passage about physical science. After reading about sound waves and electric currents, kids answer five reading comprehension questions about what they have read.

Just this once, it's okay to throw things in class. Out of craft sticks and rubber bands, pupils build catapults to launch an object of choice. This can be a ping-pong ball, a marshmallow, or any other small item. As long as it hits the...

Scholars become rocket scientists as they take off on a journey exploring Newton's laws of motion. After learning the laws of motion, pupils design their own investigations using straw rockets. They highlight their literacy skills in a...
