In this Hubble's law worksheet, students use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4 questions...

For this satellite technology worksheet, students read about Low Earth Orbit satellites and the frictional drag from the Earth's atmosphere that causes them to fall back towards the Earth. Students use given data of the years the...

In this thermometric titration learning exercise, students titrate hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide to determine its concentration. They measured the solution's change in temperature, plotted their data, and used the graph to find...

In this enthalpy of reactions learning exercise, high schoolers use a known amount of copper (II) sulphate solution and an excess of zinc powder to calculate the reaction's enthalpy change. Students measure the temperature change...

In this rate of chemical reactions worksheet, learners experiment with different concentrations and volumes of hydrochloric acid mixed with magnesium to explore the rate of chemical reactions. They measure the rates of the reactions and...

In this Super Bowl instructional activity, students create line plots of all winners and losers of the Super Bowl.  They create stem-and-leaf plots, scatter plots, and bar graphs of football data.  This one-page...

Learners create and conduct a survey. In this broken bones instructional activity, students discuss if they've ever broken a bone and how a broken bone heals. Learners generate questions for a survey on broken bones and healing time,...

Students examine U.S. Census figures. In this urban centers lesson, students compare city populations across the span of 50 years. Students create line graphs based on the data.

Eighth graders analyze data from line graphs. They discuss the purpose of line graphs, identify the parts of a line graph, answer questions about various graphs, and complete a worksheet. This lesson includes a script to teach along with.

In this physics review worksheet, students review vocabulary words associated with speed, acceleration, Newton's Laws and simple machines, work and energy, magnetism, electricity, and harmonic motion and light. This worksheet has 92...

In this basic worksheet on plotting coordinate points, student practice how to describe where an ordered pair is located on a graph.This activity can provide a short review of material covered in class.

In this comet tail disruption worksheet, high schoolers solve 7 problems using two images from NASA's STEREO satellite showing the breakup of the comet's tail. Students analyze the diagram and use the scale to solve the problems about...

In this measuring star temperatures, students find the temperature of a star using Planck's curve and the Wein Displacement law. Students also find the peak wavelengths for given stars using Planck's curve.

In this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

In this Van Allen Belts worksheet, students read about the deadly affects of the high energy particle clouds located around the Earth. Students answer 4 questions about the dosages of radiation astronauts receive in the zones of the Van...

Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

After reading an informational text passage, learners answer four multiple choice questions about the third largest planet in our solar system.

Make your classroom interesting by teaching or assessing through tasks. Deepen the understanding of Geometry and motivate young mathematicians. The task uses investigation with tennis balls and their container to prompt learners to...

We can mathematically model the path of a robot. Learners use parametric equations to find the location of a robot at a given time. They compare the paths of multiple robots looking for parallel and perpendicular relationships and...

What do you get when you cross piecewise functions with transformations?  An engaging lesson! The conclusion of a four-part series on the transformations of functions asks class members to apply transformations to piecewise...

Students explain why compass angles need to be corrected for regional magnetic variation. They observe the difference between magnetic and true north. Each student measures the angle of variation for a town in a different state.

Using flexible mirror-like paper, physical scientists experiment with images produced by curving it and looking into its reflective surface. They find that concave mirrors cause reflected light waves to cross and actually flip the image...

Learners solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they find the gradients of the lines and plot the given points. Then, they complete the table of values for each equation and use the table to draw the graph. 

At the end of this activity, your number crunchers will have a better understanding as to how to describe graphs of velocity versus time and distance versus time. It is easy for learners to misinterpret graphs of velocity, so have them...
