Fifth graders throw darts, collecting data for distance traveled. In this data analysis lesson, 5th graders throw a dart using an atlatl. They calculate the speed for each throw and determine the best dart length for distance throws.

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

Learners examine motion of a sphere on an inclined plane.  In this inclined plane lesson plan students complete an activity to discover basic relationships.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders calculate ordered pairs using a table to plot the coordinate pairs to make a graph. There are 3 graphing question.

Learners create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

Students apply what they recall about objects in motion by animati ng sequences of pictures that model a set of physical conditions. They animate the orbital motions of the Earth, the space shuttle, and the Moon based on calculations of...

Students conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time graphs.

Students compare the records of gold medal Olympic winners for the last 100 years and decide if we are faster, stronger than in the past.

In this integral worksheet, students geometrically estimate distance in given problems. They use the trapezoidal rule to determine definite integrals. Students explore distance and velocity. This three-page worksheet contains...

Eighth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  In this eight grade math/science lesson, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose the...

Students experiment with Hiker program to practice real world applications of linear functions and develop their understanding of expressions, relationships, and manipulations involved in writing and graphing linear equations in...

In this math learning exercise, students describe a step by step method to solve rate problems. Then they state the time derivatives of different quantities.

Students calculate the slope of the equation In this algebra lesson, students graph coordinate pairs of linear equations and identify the relationship between x and y values and slope.  They differentiate between functions and...

In this algebra instructional activity, students find the inverse of an equations. They graph their solutions and analyze it. There are 8 questions.

Ninth graders select and build one of five different paper airplane designs and test them for distance and for time aloft. Part of this activity is designed to explore NASA developed software, FoilSim, with respect to the lift of an...

In this motion worksheet, students determine the distance traveled, the acceleration, and velocity of different objects. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

Students determine velocity using the slope of a time distance graph. They investigate a motion cart using a CBR unit and a TI 83 calculator setup. Using the graph generated, they calculate velocity.

In this geometric coordinates worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they use the equations provided to complete the table on the right. Then, students plot the x- and y- coordinates on the graph to...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Eighth graders complete labs using toy trucks to study deceleration, record thier data, and then transfer it to graphing software to produce a graph. They create a lab report of the completed lab using a word processing program.

Students predict the speeds of humans and hermit crabs and investigate their predictions using ratios and formulas. AppleWorks is used for this lesson, which includes a data worksheet.

Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables lesson. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms. Finally, they write...
