Students research about the characteristics of celestial bodies using a database. For this space science lesson, students collect data such as brightness, apparent color and size by observing the night sky. They share their findings with...

Young scholars identify the different types of meteorite using an interactive website. In this earth science lesson, students simulate how meteors crash on a surface. They relate meteor size to crater size.

In this paragraph correction worksheet, students read an 8 line passage. Then students respond to 8 multiple choice questions regarding grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors within the paragraph.

In this solar storm activity, students are given three equations and they  calculate the magnetic pressure and the particle pressure of a solar storm. They also determine the distance to the magnetopause of the solar storm and...

In this ESL worksheet, students read 12 sentences with a missing adjective or adverb. From five choices, students choose the best word to complete each sentence.

In this math investigation worksheet, students find five facts about outer space that contain a number greater then ten million, underlining the digit in the ten millions place. Worksheet has a chart with facts beyond the 10 million place.

In this online interactive grammar skills activity, students examine 10 sentences that are missing words and select the appropriate words to complete each of the sentences and match them to the sentences. Student answers are scored...

Students construct an interferometer using a simple telescope. In this physics instructional activity, students explain how light waves create the fringe patterns. They observe patterns made by different objects in the sky and compare them.

Students discuss the needs for robots in space discovery, and take turns simulating a robot and controller to demonstrate the difficulties of programming a robot to successfully complete simple tasks.

Students use Venn diagrams to highlight the similarities and differences between comets, meteors, and asteroids.

Students assess and explore gravity in the Universe via several short video lessons. They analyze why this science matters and the history of Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravity. A variety of questions are asked within this lesson for each...

In this math worksheet, students determine if the information is used to describe a line. They examine the parametric and symmetric equations.

In this math worksheet, students predict the velocity of an object. They also examine the position of the object in relation to the time.

In this math worksheet, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

In this math worksheet, students find the plane perpendicular to the path (t2, t, cos 2πt) at time t = 1/4. Then they determine the location in which the object is moving the fastest.

In this math worksheet, students investigate how time is related to the concept of increasing or decreasing velocity. Then they consider times and answer the questions of whether the velocity is changing.

Students describe the different bodies that make up our solar system, explain the place of our solar system within the Milky Way Galaxy and the universe, explain day and night and the Earth's movement, and describe the relationship...

Learners investigate how robots are used in space. In this space science lesson plan, students participate in an experiment using a blindfold and complete assigned tasks. The learners demonstrate how robots are "thinking" machines.

Pupils play the parts of robots and their controllers. In this robot lesson plan, students learn about robots, and use verbal commands to simulate how a robot would command to it's controller.

Young scholars examine sunspots. In this sunspot lesson, students use applets to investigate the movement of sunspots. Young scholars research sunspots and evaluate the rotation of the sun. Lesson references outside resources not...

Students explore summer solstice.

Middle schoolers explore how the angle of sunlight affects the Earth's temperature and seasons and then apply this understanding to their local situation.

Young scholars demonstrate how to take bearings using a compass. In pairs, they select objects in the classroom then write down its first initial and bearing. They exchange papers and try to disciver their partner's object.

Sixth graders investigate the historical even surrounding the Apollo Mission to the Moon. They conduct research specifically to find information about the astronauts on the mission. The students conduct class discussion about the...
