Students discuss anaerobic respiration and how it relates to sprinting. After discussion of related processes, students create a brochure that explains the complex processes behind every muscular interaction.

Eighth graders identify and label the primary and secondary muscles used to perform an exercise. Students perform an exercise on a weight machine to figure out which muscles are being used. Students illustrate the muscles used by...

Students explore the relationship between force and the distance of the load from the fulcrum.  In this experimental lesson plan students get into groups and make a lever and record the force that is needed to move it, they then try...

Young scholars investigate the properties of air by capturing it, squeezing it, and feeling its weight. In this forces lesson, students capture bags of air and examine its properties. The weight and pressure of air is emphasized.

Students examine the lever. In this simple machines lesson, students construct a lever by using two pencils, three pennies, and a ruler. Students explore the uses of a lever.

In this levers worksheet, students follow directions to making levers with a ruler, weights, pennies, and more. Students then see how much force is needed when adding more weights.

Young scholars explore the history of the airplane and the Wright brothers.  In this aviation activity students examine the Wright brothers stories and kites.

Young scholars study the relationship of form and function in the marine environment.

Students use FoilSim to demonstrate that the graphic analysis of the airflow around one object can be used to hypothesize airflow graphs for objects as they are elongated from a sphere to an airfoil shape.

Students use data from real-life models to calculate and compare the force required for an airplane of a given weight to become airborne. They use a graphing calculator to evaluate data and use the World Wide Web to access data.

Students explore the significance of the Federal Reserve in the United States economy by defining key economic terms through the presentation of skits and the creation of a student book.

Students observe a machine closely from several angles while it operates. Identify the elements of machines combined in different gadgets. Create a clear diagram of how a machine works.

Students improve upper body strength by doing push-ups. They practice synchronized movements they can do with a partner while in the push-up position.

Third graders engage in a manipulative experiment in the mechanical advantage of simple machines. It graphically demonstrates the change in magnitude of applied force when using simple machines. Great for ESL to discover the ratio...
