In this stairs and slope worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 12 various problems that include identifying stairs that meet the given guidelines using slope. First, they use a ruler to measure the risers and treads from one set of...

Students build models of types of levers. In this simple machines lesson, students use dowels and modified wooden rulers to build different types of levers. They compete to create the most efficient lever in the class.

Young scholars perform an experiment with different types of bird eggs to determine what factors make them strong and able to stay on a cliff without rolling off.

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson plan, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean,...

Learners recognize and follow the steps of the scientific method to complete an experiment.  In this scientific method instructional activity, students use inquiry tools to measure objects.  Learners record their data.

Students observe snails and their characteristics.  In this science lesson, students decide how to measure their snails and to observe a behavioral trait.  Students create a graph to present their findings. 

Students view a video clip about the building of tunnels. They discover the importance of measurement and communication between groups when building a tunnel. They participate in an activity in which they must communicate with others.

Middle schoolers make detailed qualitative and quantitative observations. They are introduced to the process of developing repeatable procedures. Students practice collecting data. They review measurement skills. Middle schoolers...
