Get the trig facts fast, and use the review sheet as a guide in the classroom. The worksheet also includes a document version if any changes are needed to the problems. The information includes a small degree/radian chart, a graph of all...

Adjust the melting time of ice without varying the temperature! Learners experiment with different materials to decide how the materials affect the rate an ice cube melts. They then connect their findings to the conductivity of each...

First graders study daily weather changes. In this weather and graphing lesson, 1st graders chart the daily weather for a month using stickers or weather symbols. They graph the weekly weather so that at the end of the month students...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

In this Pre-calculus/Trigonometry worksheet, students determine the trigonometric function that best models the given data. The eight page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and twenty-one problems. Answers are not included.

In this trigonometry instructional activity, students investigate the transformations that can occur to the basic trigonometric functions. The thirteen page instructional activity contains explanation, examples,...

It's time to increase the heat! Young chemists demonstrate heat transfer and heat capacity in an activity-packed lab, showing the transitions between solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of materials. Individuals plot data as the...

The speed of a dragonfly brings math into the real world as your learners collaboratively see the value in calculating unit rates in direct proportion problems. This six-phase instructional activity encourages you, as the teacher, to...

Learners make a graph. In this weather lesson, students fill in a KWL chart about different types of weather. Learners watch a PowerPoint presentation about weather and natural disasters and where these types of weather are common....

High schoolers differentiate the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze graphs of heating and cooling curve of water. They complete a lab report and discuss results.

Students observe the tides in San Diego for one month. Using this information, they graph the tides on a chart along with the phases of the moon. They answer questions related to the graph to end the lesson.

Students discover how rocks are created.  In this rock formation lesson, students investigate saturation, evaporation, and phase changes in geology.  Students create rock candy from skewers, string, boiling water and sugar.

In this heating and cooling curve worksheet, students use a given graph of a substance being heated from a solid to a liquid and then a gas over time. They use the graph to answer eleven questions about the phases of the substance and...

In this trig worksheet, learners draw graphs of trig functions and identify the cycle of the function. They discuss period and phase shift. There are 9 questions with an answer key.

Students illustrate the changes in the properties of a material at its glass transition point. They gather data which they use to construct graphs regarding elastic modules versus absorption modulus, tangent delta, and the effect of...

Students research the Earth's patterns of rotation and revolution, create a chart and graph of these patterns and use them to explain the causes of night and day and summer and winter.

In this solutions worksheet, students use a phase diagram to determine the boiling point and molality of the solution. Students determine the electrical conductivity of a saturated solution. This worksheet has nine problems to solve.
