In this slope of a line worksheet, students read about line graphs and plotting the slope of a line. They read about the rate of change which is represented by the slope. Students practice finding the slope of lines.

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

In this tracking the rising tide worksheet, students use the data in a graph showing the seal level change versus time from 1900 to 2000 to answer 3 questions about the rising tides. Students determine the slope of a line drawn from 1920...

Students develop a spreadsheet and import the information into a line graph. In this spreadsheet and line graph lesson plan, students develop a spreadsheet of ocean depths. They import the information into a word processed document. They...

Students investigate reaction rates.  In this seventh or eighth grade mathematics lesson, students collect, record, and analyze data regarding how the temperature of water affects the dissolving time of a sugar cube. Studetns...

Pupils use the point-slope formula to determine the relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature. They use a graphing calculator to determine the slope of the line between two points in each scale.

In this graphing speed instructional activity, learners find the slope in a position vs. time graph to be the speed. They are given example graphs of position vs. time to show the changes in slope reflect the changes in speed. Students...

In this rates and slopes instructional activity, students solve 2 problems where they find the rate corresponding to the speed of the galaxies in a Hubble diagram for galaxies and they calculate the rate of the sunspot number change...

Students use graph paper to construct a graph and determine the slope of a straight line. They determine the weight (mass) of paper clips with a pan balance. Pupils weigh an unknown number of paper clips, and to interpret the graph to...

In this Earth's rotation and day length worksheet, students are given a table with the period of geological time, the age of the Earth and the total days per year. Students calculate the number of hours per day in each geological era,...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Students conduct a series of investigation on latent heat of fusion. In this chemistry activity, students explain how thermal storage systems work. They draw and interpret graphs.

On a topographic map, high schoolers identify the scale bar, north arrow, and contour interval. They then locate a hill on the map and make note of the contour lines. Students then locate other places with similar contour line patterns....

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

In this prescription drug worksheet, students answer short answer questions and create graphs on the sales of prescription drugs over a five year span. Students complete six questions.

In this topographic map worksheet, students learn how to read a topographic map and create a topographic map of their own using clay or Play-Doh. Students include contour lines by layering the clay. Students answer 6 questions about...

Students describe and quantify the motion of toy cars. In this motion lesson, students observe a battery powered toy car on a flat surface and a standard toy car on a sloped surface. They write their observations, measure average speeds,...

In this linear motion learning exercise, students answer 11 questions including finding acceleration of moving objects, finding the distance objects travel and finding the time it takes objects to move a particular distance. Students...

In this velocity worksheet, students solve 13 problems including finding acceleration of objects, forces on objects, velocity of objects and interpreting graphs of position vs. time.

Young scholars investigate the concentration level of solutions. In this math/science lesson, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.

In this kinetics worksheet, students find rate laws of reactions, they determine rate constants, they find rate-determining steps of reactions, they find half-life's of reactions and they determine the overall order of reactions.

Young scholars explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity lesson students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...
