Students create visuals of the effect of a spring scale. In this algebra lesson, students use the navigator to graph the effects created by a spring scale. They draw conclusion from the graph.

Learners use an electronic data-collection device to model the sound produced by a guitar string. They identify the graph of a periodic situation and use the graph to determine the period and frequency of sound waves.

Learners experiment with bean growth in varied conditions.  In this plant biology lesson, students plant beans in soil and in spun cellulose (absorbent material in diapers) and measure the growth of their seedlings. They...

Young scholars solve problems involving electric charges and force. In this physics lesson, student solve word problems using addition and subtraction of vectors. They identify the direction represented by a vector as it relates to an...

Learners experiment to discover the relationship between the stretch of a spring and the amount of weight attached to the spring using Skittles. They use a CBR and a graphing calculator to gather data.

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson plan in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during...

In this physics worksheet, students examine the relationship between the discrete and continuous spectrum alongside other concepts for the 9 questions.

Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

In this mathematical modeling worksheet, students answer two essay questions. They describe Newton's Law of Cooling by describing and constructing a model and answering seven essay questions about the process.

Learners investigate the slope of various stairways through a "news report" approach and employ mathematical knowledge of applied slope to report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act. They...

Young scholars compare the reaction rates of effervescent antacid tablets under different conditions. They investigate methods of increasing the power of rocket fuels by manipulating surface area and temperature.

Pupils measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Middle schoolers investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative lesson students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Students record hourly reading for water height for 24 hours and determine whether a location experiences diurnal, semi-diurnal or mixed tides. Links are present for the information. Students predict high and low tide, and answer a set...

Students use FoilSim to complete the activity to create tables of data sets comparing the lift values for a 3-D model of a symmetrical wing section to the values predicted by the FoilSim software.

Pupils identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Young scholars study Newton's Laws of Motion. They review an assessment task and rubric and discuss Newton's Laws of Motion. They discuss how to test the relationships of mass and acceleration in personal situations. They write a...

Students investigate speed, time and distance. In this algebra lesson, students utilize their knowledge of linear equations to solve problems related to time, speed and distance. This assignment is hands on using two toy race cars.

Students work together to build a simple gear train. They record their observations as it gains speed and how the gears rotate. They develop rules about gears based on these observations.

The student will use a variety of methods inculding tables, equations and graphs to find the constant of variation and missing values when given a relationship that varies directly.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will write, graph, and solve direct variation models for real-world problems. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, study vocabulary, watch...
