Viewers learn to recognize direct and inverse relationships in the world of physics with a presentation that reveals how to recognize a direct versus an inverse relationship from a formula or graph. After showing basic examples, the...

Light, distance, and mathematics come together to help scientists plan for space missions. Groups examine the relationship between distance from the sun and light availability in a hands-on exploration activity. They model the inverse...

Pressure and volume are in a relationship, but what is the nature of it? High school scientists discover the link between the volume of a gas and the pressure it exerts using a simulation. The resource tracks pressure in a sidebar as...

Are these two light sources the same? Groups use a white card and a little cooking oil to create a photometer that allows for the comparison of two lights. The Inverse Square Law provides a way to calculate the actual difference in...

Hopefully you have a sensor interface for your physics class to use with graphing calculators when collecting data with a light sensor. If so, read on. Use this resource for learners to predict and then test whether or not the intensity...

What does viscosity have to do with splatter? An activity shows that the viscosity of a substance is inversely proportional to the distance of its splatter. Learners conduct the experiment by collecting data, graphing, and analyzing...

Get ready to spark interest in electromagnetic radiation! This resource shares nine indelible inquiries that you can choose from to ignite understanding of spectra and the relationship between light and heat. The assessments that follow...

Learners determine the density of different substances. For this physical science lesson, students rank them according to their density. They discover the relationship between volume and density.

Public health trainees read and write a summary of the article, "A Whiff of Danger". The article is not available through the link, but can be found on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website. After summarizing,...

In this Boyle's Law instructional activity, students solve eight problems using the inverse relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature.

Pupils, after identifying and examining the relationship of temperature and air masses in association with smog and pollution, create a temperature inversion in a long aquarium jar. They experience what happens when smog builds up and no...

Middle school energy experts read about the relationship between energy use and cost-efficiency. Then they work through a couple of scenarios to determine which approach is more cost-effective.

In this experimental relationship worksheet, students read about direct and indirect relationships between variables in experiments. They answer three questions about relationships between variables.

Pupils often wonder how we know the distance to various stars. Starting with a thought experiment and progressing to a physical experiment, they determine the brightness and distance to various stars. The evaluation requires...

Students actively engage in the careful analysis of chromosome banding patterns and identify examples of inversion in homologous chromosomes.

Young scholars explore the field of nanotechnology by examining magnetic field strength in ferrofluids. They use probes attached to a computer program to determine the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic field lines.

Students investigate the relationship between temperature and humidity. The graphs of weather data gathered and plotted for for an assigned period of time are analyzed and the interpretations shared with the class.

Students evaluate the degree of chromosome similarity and difference between humans and apes. Students infer about the relationship between a human and ape based on similarities found.

Students conduct a series of activity that demonstrates Charles' and Boyle's Law. In this chemistry activity, students determine the relationship among pressure, volume and temperature. They solve problems using mathematical equation.

In this metric units worksheet, students convert measurements from one metric unit to another using dimensional analysis. They must show their work to receive credit.

Why was Sir Newton so important to the field of science? Pupils discuss his contributions, specifically his Third Law, as they learn about gravity and the center of mass. They work multiple problems to ensure their understanding and...

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

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson 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 the...

Students determine the validity of Charles' Law. In this Charles' Law lesson plan, students measure the volumes of a gas at two different temperatures. They determine the volume at a high temperature and predict using Charles' Law what...
