In this similarity instructional activity, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they complete the statement in the box shown. Then, students determine whether they agree or disagree with the statement and...

In this black hole worksheet, learners use a given equation that relates the rate of matter falling into a black hole to the power emitted by the black hole to determine accreted mass.

In this sunspots and magnetic fields worksheet, students read about the satellite images taken showing 'loopy' patterns from solar gases and the magnetic fields on the sun. Students solve 2 problems including finding the volume of a...

In this volume worksheet, learners determine the number of cuboids needed to create a rectangular prism of a particular size. They determine the mass, volume and density of cereal boxes. Students determine the volume of rectangular...

Students analyze data taken from proteomic experiments. In this biology lesson plan, students explain the importance of bioinformatics tools in the study of proteins. They evaluate scientific results using math and computer software.

In this rotation of celestial bodies learning exercise, students determine the speed of the sun's rotation and they determine the number of days it takes the sun to rotate once at the equator. They identify the geometric factor that...

In this ice on Mercury worksheet, students read about the data collected from the NASA Messenger and the Arecibo Radio Telescope indicating the possibility of ice on Mercury. Students solve 6 problems including finding the scale of the...

What makes a good best-fit line? In the 10th part of a 16-part module, scholars learn how to analyze trend lines to choose the best fit, and to write equations for best-fit lines to make predictions.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  For this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students analyze graphs to determine relationships between variables and rates of change. They determine the basic concepts about static reaction forces. They determine the slope and equation of a line.

In this modeling the Keeling Curve activity, students use given data beginning in 1960 to create a mathematical model for the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over time. Students manipulate the equation to predict the carbon dioxide...

In this accident reconstruction worksheet, learners use trigonometry and vectors to determine the speeds of automobiles in a car accident.  They compute the speed at which a car skidded before a crash.  This one-page worksheet...

In this parallax effect worksheet, students observe 2 photographs taken of an active area of the sun by 2 STEREO satellites and 1 photograph taken of the same active area of the sun by the SOHO satellite. Students observe the shift in...

Students study the physical force of linear momentum by investigating collisions. They analyze the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. They calculate linear momentum.

In this unit conversion worksheet, learners solve six problems where they convert from one metric unit to another using the process of dimensional analysis.

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

Learners examine concept of time, and explore difference between analog and digital clocks; students make art project to represent time and create a time-story problem and solution.
