High schoolers read, analyze and discuss the novel, "Hell Island," by Matthew Reilly. They assess the anticipating action, the synopsis, what's in a name, the greater good and the prologue introducing the anticipating action of the novel.

Students examine an article on a space capsule and explore NASA.  In this space exploration lesson students brainstorm the pros and cons of space exploration, then rehearse a sketch and present it to the class. 

In this sport dictation worksheet, students take dictation concerning various sports terms and their definitions.

High schoolers design a rocket that stays on air for the longest period of time. In this physics lesson, students research the function of different rocket components. They test their design and make necessary modifications.

Lesson plan outlining six activites to use with the parachute.

Third graders create their own parachutes to understand the concept of gravity and the effect it has on objects.

Learners create a parachute to explore how air pushes up against an object and slows it down as it falls.

This activity explores a parachutist and her position, velocity and acceleration. Graphing and calculating these functions will be required.

Students will design and construct parachutes to determine the rate of descent using the distance formula. Printable lesson

Students will make paper rockets, parachutes, and foam gliders to experience how objects move through the air. Explore topics such as thrust, weight, gravity, force, and lift through fun activities and stories and cutting-edge work done...

Learners begin to explore the idea of a force. To further their understanding of drag, gravity and weight, they conduct activities that model the behavior of parachutes and helicopters. An associated literacy activity engages the class...

This engaging lesson combines the concepts of statistics and measurement. Learners create a simulation of a parachute jump using whirlybirds, to predict the frequency of an event occurring. A detailed lesson plan which includes a list of...

Predict and determine the frequency of an event and measure to the nearest centimeter while constructing whirlybirds in a simulation of a parachute jump competition.
