Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them...

In this vocabulary review instructional activity, learners read a brief 4 paragraph selection about the first woman in space and answer 10 multiple choice questions pertaining to it.

In this math worksheet, students learn to use problem solving strategies such as making a list, guess and check, working backwards and drawing a diagram. Students read and solve 6 sentences.

Students are told that any object moving through a fluid (air, water, molasses, etc) experience a drag force which oppose the motion. They are given the summarized version of drag which is proportional to the square of the velocity....

In this everyday activities instructional activity, students complete 12 multiple choice questions where they read a sentence and then choose the correct verb to complete each sentence.

In this astronauts worksheet, students read about the accomplishments of Sally Ride, Neil Armstrong, and John Glenn. Then students complete 27 multiple choice, 2 true or false, and 3 short answer questions.

In this verbs worksheet, students read ten sentences and analyze the two choices of verbs in parentheses. Students cross out the incorrect verb.

Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.

Students complete a lab observation form predicting how air makes a helicopter and pinwheel work. Constructing their own helicopter, they begin to drop it from various heights. They discuss the force on air and how it affects both objects.

Young scholars explain how drag, weight, lift and thrust work together to make something fly. In this physics lesson plan, students measure their jump height and record data on the table. They reason out why they can't remain airborne...

Students design a rocket that stays on air for the longest period of time. In this physics lesson, students research the function of different rocket components. They test their design and make necessary modifications.

Students and parents participate in a variety of activities designed to explore the issue of every person's right to adequate housing. They make butter, make models of different types of housing, read books, discuss the rights and...

Students observe falling objects. In this lesson about gravity, students work in groups to determine how objects fall. Students determine speed of objects falling and whether weight is a factor. Students understand the concept of gravity.

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

Here's a new twist in the egg drop competition. Using only six inches of tape, four straws, and 2 pieces of newspaper, teams build a structure that keeps an egg from breaking when dropped. What's different about this project is that the...

In this Guy Fawkes worksheet, students cut apart 8 sentence strips; each tells an event in the life of Guy Fawkes. Students put them in the right order, paste them on a paper, and illustrate each event.

Seeds in flight are amazing things. Hand out a great information sheet for learners to read. They'll discover facts about seeds, why they spread, and examples of how different seeds get from here to there. 

For this limit of slopes worksheet, students compute the limit of slopes, find the slope of the secant line, and determine the slope of the tangent line. This one-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Learners investigate how seeds are dispersed on land.  In this plant biology instructional activity, students use a dissecting microscope to study strawberry seeds and dandelion seeds, they draw what they see, then create a...

Students are introduced to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight experiments. They "fly" for short periods and evaluate factors that might either increase or decrease their...

In this top five ancient Chinese inventions worksheet, students investigate each Chinese invention in detail along with the top five British inventions of all time. Students then answer five comprehension questions while writing an essay...

Eighth graders explore the effect of World War II from a financial standpoint. In this World History instructional activity, 8th graders review World War II through teacher lecture, reading and viewing pictures and cartoons, then discuss...

Students identify significant milestones in the history of flight. In this aviation history lesson plan, students study various resource materials and construct timelines of significant achievements.

Second graders experiment to understand how force is effected by friction.  In this forces in action instructional activity, 2nd graders view a website to simulate what happens when the height of a ramp is changed. Students...
