In this math worksheet, students investigate the given vectors. Then they apply the knowledge to prove the formula for the triangle formed by them.

Students discuss the Sars outbreak in 2003. For this biology lesson, students research the effect of the outbreak to the world. They create a public announcement about the topic.

Students write the electron configuration of elements in the ground state. In this chemistry lesson, students draw how subatomic particles are arranged in the atom. They construct Lewis dot diagrams of valence electrons.

In this science activity, students match each type of scientist listed in the left-had column to its correct description found in the right-hand column. There are 34 different scientists to match on the sheet.

Students research the Great Depression. In this Great Depression lesson, students analyze primary sources to develop an understanding of life in the American south during the depression era as they read Harper Lee's To Kill a...

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

Students observe two chelae. They write three differences they observe in their notebooks. Students suggest a hypothesis which would explain these differences. They dissect the chela. Students analyze the lobster claw as a mechanical lever.

Students use math to help them discover the movement of a pendulum.

Fourth graders discuss the many elements of weather. They research an aspect of weather they find most interesting. They create movements to go along with the element they have chosen.

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body lesson, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Students explore biology by researching living cells. In this living organism lesson, students participate in a role-playing activity in which all the students in class form one plant cell by portraying specific parts of a cell. Students...

In this conflict worksheet, students answer a set of 6 questions related to conflict. Site has links to additional resources.

Students examine the topic of child labor in history. They discuss jobs that children their age would have done before child labor laws. They decide on an action to take on Labor Day to share what they have learned with others.

Students explore different ways heat can be added to water.

From a chapter on Statics and Torque in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter provides an in-depth discussion of forces and torque in the human body. We learn about muscular force, the importance of posture in preventing back...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define conservative force, potential energy, and mechanical energy; explain the potential energy of a spring in terms of its compression when Hooke's law applies; and use the work-energy...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define nonconservative forces and explain how they affect mechanical energy, and to show how the principle of conservation of energy can be applied by treating the conservative forces in...

In the following interactive students will begin to explain how an object must be displaced for a force on it to do work. They will also explain how relative directions of force and displacement determine whether the work done is...

For this lesson, the students will work across the curriculum using technology, business education, and mathematics. They will form a company and use the physics of force and motion to build a hovercraft. The students will use this...

In the following interactive students will begin to define nonconservative forces and explain how they affect mechanical energy. They will show how the principle of conservation of energy can be applied by treating the conservative...

What keeps you in your seat of a giant loop-de-loop roller coaster? Surprisingly, it is not the seatbelt but the seat. It works because of something called centripetal force and it does much more than make a great roller coaster. In this...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This module has students using a simple machine to learn about the relationship between work, force, and energy.

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text about how a compass works using electromagnetic force. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.
