Students capture the serve motion of a tennis player with a digital or video camera. Using transparencies or a software package, analyze the speed, acceleration, displacement and time of the racquet head and ball in the tennis stroke.

Fourth graders estimate the measurements of trees using unconventional techniques.

In this math assessment worksheet, students answer 5 multiple choice geometry questions. The assessment is on the fourth grade level.

Students explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Students explore kinetic energy.  For this energy lesson students complete an activity and explain what happened. 

Students discover the science behind a tennis racket by looking at a simple toy that works in a similar way. After looking at the related mathematical equations, students experiment with the simple toy to find the spring constant k by...

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine if water level is affected by a change in oxygen level or air pressure.

In this radiation activity, students calculate the total shielding along several specific directions defined by the angles. This activity has 3 problems to solve.

Students are introduced to the measurement of a meter. They measure and compare the height of different people in the class. Students classify the measurements into categories of tall, short, and average while conducting class discussion...

Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.

Young scholars calculate the volumes of regularly shaped objects from measurements of their dimensions. They use several formulas and measure different objects to calculate the density, volume, and mass of the objects selected or assigned.

Students discover how the coefficient of restitution is applied to sports by measuring the bounciness of a ball. After examining the mathematical equation that applies to coefficient of restitution, students go to the gym, measure the...

Students calculate the ratio of the height of the body to the height of the navel. They discover that the ratios are all approximately equal.

Students study the function of lungs. In this lung function lesson, students complete an experiment using balloons to study the way lungs work. Students study a diagram of their lungs and make a hypothesis for their lung capacity...

students identify and explore the connection between math and the bones of the human body. Students collect data about bones from their classmates and from adults, apply formulas that relate this data to a person's height, and organize...

Student explore the challenge of building a tower using paper. They build their tower using paper and record the height of their tower. Students collect and record the heights of other towers and use that data to create a spreadsheet.
