This activity introduces the concept of related rates with parametric equations using a projectile motion problem.

In this activity, Students can use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity.

In this activity, students use the Geoboard App to draw and make a reflection of a scalene triangle. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Students will explore matter that sinks or floats when submerged in water and that matter is categorized as either a sinker or a floater. Students will work actively in small, cooperative learning groups as well as gather in a whole...

In this activity, you will construct the geometric object by following the instructions below, and then answer the questions about the object.

Lesson plan designed to help young students further develop the skill of throwing an object. The lesson focuses on throwing at targets as well as throwing while moving.

This lesson will help young students understand the shape and movement of bubbles. Students will predict, practice, and record results as they blow bubbles with different-shaped objects.

Use the TI-89 to investigate the effect of air resistance on a free-falling object. Examples in the activity use calculator screenprints and keystroke instructions to demonstrate the use of the calculator to solve these problems....

Students practice tossing and catching a simple, inexpensive object--a plastic garbage bag, ideal for young children learning to catch.

A Java-based simulation where students can observe what happens to a free-falling object, with and without air resistance. Controls allow the user to adjust settings and the results are graphed as the simulation progresses.

This site provides a comprehensive index of printable grammar worksheets. Each topic has an extensive list of worksheets to choose from. Topics include abbreviations, alphabetizing, parts of speech, classifying, punctuation, prefixes,...

Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

As students put projects together, create crafts, or use familiar materials in new ways, they're constructing meaning. Students love to touch and manipulate materials and this can activate kids' brains. This article gives tips for...

Week-long detailed lesson plan for early elementary physical education students focusing on walking, marching, traveling, catching, and tossing.

This lesson is a unique and fun way to review perimeter, angles, and types of adjectives. Students pick an object from the classroom that will fit in a paper lunch bag. They investigate their object and fill in the attached sheet. You...

In this lesson, students will use hands on inquiry in cooperative learning groups to understand, develop and analyze common measurements used by astronomers. Students will use common objects such as straws, twizzlers, or toothpicks to...

In this simulation an object is attached to two strings under tension on opposite sides of it. The object's starting position and the strings' lengths can be altered. The path of the object when it is released is traced on an...

View the museum object record for a Henry rifle given to Lincoln at the start of the Civil War. Record includes a history of the firearm, making note of its design as the inspiration for the famously successful Winchester rifle that came...

Students use the Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to pursuit curves, in which objects follow seemingly awkward paths due to other objects chasing it. In this lesson (which is technology intensive), students...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students develop the concept of pursuit curves, in which one object moves according to the movements of another object. This lesson is framed in the context of an officer...

In this activity, students' use a force sensor and a motion detector to collect force and acceleration data for an object moving up and down hanging from a spring. They use the data to test Newton's second law, and to estimate the mass...

Students discover the shortest distance light travels from an object to the human eye, as the light from the object reflects off a single mirror. In the process they learn about reflection in a line, congruent angles, angle bisectors,...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students modeling a mock food fight using projectile motion. This lesson is very technology-intensive, and a CBR2 is used to measure the velocity of an object so that it's...
