High schoolers construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. In this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is...

At the end of a general physics course focused on light and electricity, you can administer this exam. Concepts covered include electromagnetism, circuits, induction, light rays, lenses and mirrors, characteristics of light, electron...

Your class will use a set scale to convert diameters of planets to the model size, the diagram given to expand on the number of planets drawn as concentric circles, and examine the scale that would be needed to fit the larger...

An engaging activity enlightens young chemists in this instructional activity on atomic structure. They play musical chairs through a series of concentric circles that represent electon orbitals. A laundry basket in the middle holds the...

For this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students answer ten questions about radioactive decay, half life, electron capture and alpha emission.

Young scientists must put their math caps on and figure out what fraction of each flower is in a raised flower bed. They must problem solve to simplify the fractions, and then graph the amount of flowers that are in different flower beds.

This activity leads the class through the calculations needed to construct circles to represent the planets of our Solar System. The actual values are provided, as are suggested calculations to create the scale diameters. The ten...

Sailboat design requires more than a half-circle and triangle sketch. After viewing a slideshow presentation that outlines the requirements for sailboat design, learners draw a design, perform the needed...

NASA presents a mini-unit on distances in our solar system. It incorporates scientific concepts of gravity, mass, density, and payload while your aspiring astronauts also employ mathematics skills. They calculate speed, they determine...

Students study the concept of using a map as a tool with the usage of a balloon designed to mimic the features of the Earth with the major features marked and shown on the balloon.

Students investigate the structure of the atom and its composition. In this atom structure lesson, students find the area of cut out circles and drop pens into the circles. They count the number of marks in the circles and relate their...

In this space science worksheet, 7th graders use the star circles given but the teacher to complete 14 short answer questions. They plot the stars on the graph.

Students explore Newton's three laws, gravity, momentum, trajectory, projectiles, circular motion, and friction by observing and breaking down skateboard tricks. They view short video clips of Tony Hawk and explain the physics concepts...

In this star cluster math worksheet, students use four different patterns to solve five problems about the fraction of stars classified by their temperature.

Circles, divided into halves, are arranged in a cycle for aspiring astronomers to color in according the phases of the moon. Next to each are lines on which they can write the name of the phase and boxes in which they can number the...

Students review the unit on arachnids and develop skill in most advanced paper cutting techniques. They each: Cut one 2-1/2" circle from black paper. Run through Paper Crimper. 2. Cut one 2" circle from orange paper. 3. Add a Paper Chain...

Pupils create a model of the phases of the Moon by giving students pictures of the phases of the Moon, a picture of the Earth, and a picture of the Sun. They then take a picture, and stand in correct place to make the phases of the Moon...

Learners work in small groups to arrange moon phase cards into the correct sequence. The goal is to circle as many consecutive numbers as possible in two minutes.

For this wheels and axles worksheet, students read a 1 page article, make a list of how many objects they can find or think if that uses a wheel or axle and then design their own machine.

Pupils cut out the pattern of the Four-Wing Boomerang and trace it on to one half of the file folder. They practice throwing it.
