In this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

In this scientific notation worksheet, students convert 8 numbers from scientific notation to standard notation. They convert 8 numbers from standard notation to scientific notation. They solve 14 problems using the exponent function on...

Hand your incoming scientists a collection of helpful worksheets to introduce them to your chemistry class. The packet addresses exponents, scientific notation, metric conversion, and dimensional analysis.

In this scientific notation worksheet, students are given examples of how to multiply and divide using scientific notation and they practice both.

In this scientific notation worksheet, students practice calculations using scientific notation and being sure to have the correct number of significant figures. This worksheet has 17 problems to solve.

Learners construct a model of an electromagnetic spectrum using play-doh and string. They use exponents and plot the radio/microwave, infrared, and visible bandwidths of the spectrum.

In this scientific notation worksheet, students review how to write a number in scientific notation and then how to write a number in standard notation. Then students complete 5 problems.

What do logarithms have to do with bone density? Scholars learn that the equation for bone density includes logarithms. The majority of the third lesson plan of seven is devoted to logarithms and their properties.

Zeroes are more important than they look! A guided practice activity takes learners through the process of both scientific and decimal notation, culminating in more complex word problems and equations.

It's a parade of prefixes! Chemistry scholars identify common prefixes used throughout the sciences using an interactive puzzle series. Learners solve puzzles by pairing the prefixes with the power of ten they represent.

Learners gain an understanding of how the powers of 10 and scientific notation can be used to represent the scale of things in the universe. They relate the number of stars in the universe to the number of grains of sand on Earth's beaches.

The 12th lesson in a series of 20 opens with a demonstration of exponential functions using pasta. This concept is connected to the Richter Scale, which is also an exponential function. Scholars compare the exponential scale that...

Log some practice with logarithms. A PowerPoint presentation provides a tutorial on the change of base formula involving natural logarithms and solving exponential equations with logarithms in the fourth installment of a seven-part...

Learners investigate the biodiversity of living things and how they are interdependent upon each other. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Specifically students create a graph to show how a population can grow in an...

In this physics learning exercise, students complete 5 sets of unit conversion problems. They express exponential expressions to expanded form and vice versa.

How high will it bounce? Groups determine the height different balls bounce off of different surfaces. By performing the necessary calculations, they determine the initial and final momentum of the balls. The included worksheet provides...

Get into the swing of things. Pupils use a pendulum to demonstrate the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and back. After measuring the speed of a pendulum and compare it to the calculated theoretical speed, they...

In 2015, Peter Cook found that sea lions with high levels of exposure to toxins suffered permanent brain damage if they survived at all. Scholars learn about the accumulation of toxins at various levels of the food chain. Using...

Students discover how crystal structures go together to create minerals.  In this earth science lesson, students work in groups to create 3-dimensional shapes of crystals that they then put together in a compact structure.

In this 3-D shapes learning exercise, students practice identifying 8 3-D shapes with their following precise names: cube, cuboid, square based pyramid, cone, cylinder, tetrahedron, octagonal prism and hexagonal prism.

Middle schoolers explore the concept of expressing numbers in scientific notation. For this scientific notation lesson, students understand the importance of using scientific notation by finding real world examples where scientific...

Students examine the differences in exponential growth and linear growth of a system. They interpret data on graphs and develop their own charts. They answer discussion questions as well.

Students explore universe, and examine how big it really is and how scientists measure the distances or sizes of things by estimating sizes of different objects and reading and writing numbers in scientific notations.

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing lesson! This cross-curricular Ornithology lesson incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry, Internet research, art, and...
