Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

In this algebra learning exercise, students analyze the designs of a speedometer. They collect data on the distance and time as the speedometer works. They draw conclusion and make predictions from the collected data. There are 4 word...

Students study the Beaufort Scale and use it to study wind in their community. In this wind study lesson, students watch a DVD about climate change and learn about the Beaufort Scale. Students complete a worksheet for the topic.

Students differentiate the properties of longitudinal and transverse waves. In this physics lesson, students calculate CEENBoT's rate of propagation by measuring its frequency and distance per cycle. They use a mathematical formula...

In this motion instructional activity, students calculate the initial angular acceleration, and the angular speed before and after impact for different objects. This instructional activity has 3 problems to solve.

Students drill and practice putting problems into vector form. They draw each problem before trying to solve them. Students draw arrows for any vector quantities to indicate magnitude and direction.

Ninth graders study the basic principles of flight, including the Bernoulli Principle and Newton's Laws. They construct and study model aircraft

Third graders sing in 3/4 meter with an upbeat. They write a poem using descriptive words. Students move at different speeds to show quarter, half and eigth notes. They play a math game involving the number of beats a quarter, half and...

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Students investigate the refraction properties of gelatin to calculate its index of refraction. They discover that as the light travels through the gelatin, its speed and wavelength also change. Students find th indes of refraction of an...

In this vector force worksheet, students determine the total velocity of objects, the displacement direction, and vector movement. This two-page worksheet provides a total of six multi-step problems.

Young scholars are introduced to the concepts of impulse and momentum and problem solving strategies for these types of problems. In groups, they discover the law of conservation of momentum and share their answers with the class.

Pupils will work in small groups, observing an ice cube and recording a description, the feel of the ice, and how it looks when put in another container. Students observe changes in the ice over 15 minute intervals, then freeze the water...

Eighth graders, in groups, study acceleration and build an accelerometer.

In this motion worksheet, students complete graphs showing speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time. This worksheet has 2 graphs to complete.

Fifth graders experimentally determine the relationship of friction to the functioning of machines. They demonstrate that rollers can decrease frictional force and increase speed and research to discover other ways that friction can be...

Students discuss and give examples of Newton's three laws. They then answer questions in reference to Newton's three laws. One example of the questions that students answer is: A water-skier typically uses a 75 foot tow rope. The skier...

High schoolers use a migration map to estimate the distance traveled by a bird while migrating south. After calculating accurate estimates of the distance traveled, students compare the distances traveled with the amount of time elapsed.

Students perform experiments measuring water pressure. They record their observations after poking holes in plastic bottles filled with water with the lids on and then off. They discover the role gravity plays in the water flow.

Provide the details about Felix Baumgartner's sky jump from the far reaches of our atmosphere, 39,045 meters up! Then get your physics free fallers to evaluate the factors that played a role in his acceleration, the time to reach maximum...

Students identify the different types of bridges. Using the internet, they research information on how they are built by completing a scavenger hunt. Locating a specific area, they determine which type of bridge would be appropriate and...

Golf lesson 3 is part of an eight lesson unit. There is a link at the bottom of the page to go to the lessons as well as a link to go to the unit homepage. This particular lesson reviews the mechanics of a full swing. The class practices...

Pass, set, spike! Putting all these skills together and running some practice drills is what lesson 9 is all about. It's not as easy as it sounds. Passing with accuracy, setting where the hitter can spike, timing the hit. It all takes a...

Learners discuss conservation of energy using a skateboarder in the halfpipe or a person on a roller coaster as an example. Using mathematical equations, students examine potential and kinetic energy of the examples. Lesson is completed...
