Students become familiar with the causes for formation of shadows. They create shadows, compare the size and shape of the shadow with the actual object, engage in shadow play theatre, and discover what happens to shadows when there is...

Students determine that two figures are similar or congruent by investigating figures that are similar and figures that are congruent. They prove that two figures are similar or congruent by using definitions, postulates, and theorems.

Students examine a sample budget and categorize the entries as a group. Then in small groups they convert budget category totals to percents and degrees to make a circle graph related to a sample budget.

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Address key vocabulary in the seventh grade Common Core Math Standards with this comprehensive list. A series of word cards is also provided that supports each term with images and examples, making this an excellent tool for teaching the...

Preparing for an AP test is about more than bubble sheets and memorization. The two activities in this resource require a direct application of skills learned throughout an AP Physics course.

In this geometry learning exercise, students create circle, line and bar graphs using different comparisons of events. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

Focus on the Latin roots struct and tract with this PowerPoint, boasting plenty of practice opportunities. To help develop a definition of each root, viewers match a list of words to their pictures. Then, they compare those words to a...

Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

Young scientists build on their previous knowledge and apply it to coronal mass ejections. By plotting the path of two different coronal mass ejections, they develop an understanding of why most don't collide with Earth.

Young classes are sure to get a charge out of this lesson plan! Learners experiment with circuits of a solar cell. They practice determining current, voltage, and power for the circuit and maximize the voltage and current of the cell.

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

In this exploring pendulums worksheet, students experiment with pendulums they make in the lab. They vary the length of the strings and the weights to observe the changes in the pendulum's amplitude and frequency. They answer 3 analysis...

In this triangulation worksheet, learners solve and complete 11 steps of an experiment to determine the distance to a far away object using triangulation and trigonometry. First, they select a far away object and create a baseline far...

In this geometric calculations of solar storms learning exercise, students use a diagram indicating the location of 2 STEREO satellites, the earth and the sun to calculate the distance between a Coronal Mass Ejection and the Earth. They...

Students use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

For this Pan's highway worksheet, students read about the Cassini spacecraft that discovered how Pan clears out the ring debris in the outer A-ring system of Saturn. Students use an image taken by the satellite to find the scale of the...

Students participate in an experiment to discover the properties of lift. They work together to complete calculations and collect data. They share their results with the class.

In this constructing triangles online learning exercise, students construct thirteen triangles on paper first and then type in their answers on line. Students can check their answers as they go and the computer calculates the overall...

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. For this geometry lesson, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building that allow lots...

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

Students make a circle graph. In this graphing instructional activity, the teacher conducts a class survey, then demonstrates how to make a pie graph. When students are comfortable with the material, they use a worksheet to create their...
