In this electricity instructional activity, students review topics related to electricity such as circuits, voltage, electric fields, and resistors. This instructional activity has 21 problems to solve.

Students manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers lesson plan, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and solving...

Students view a demonstration on Newton's Laws of Motion using a soda can.  In this Newton's law lesson students discuss what they learned from the demonstration.

Seventh graders participate in an experiment using syringes.  In this physics lesson students demonstrate the movement and principles of pneumatics and hydraulics.

In these American West worksheets, students answer questions based on the American West unit. Students answer 23 questions about the unit.

In these reading strategies worksheets, students learn reading hints, tips and the S.A.I.L. reading strategy. Students use the methods to learn about American history and the history of medicine.

Students study scientific names and descriptions of forces.  In this motion lesson plan students organize information into a graphic organizer then teach it to other students. 

Eighth graders use candy to show the effects of deformation forces on the earth's crust.  In this rock and fossil formation lesson students construct models and simulations to describe and explain natural phenomena.

Students explore the behaviors of cats. In this cat study lesson, students find answers to questions about cat behavior. Students may also participate in cat trivia.

High schoolers calculate the length of an arc that surrounds an angle at the center of a circle of radius.  In this kinetic equations lesson students complete a lab and solve a kinematic equation.

Students identify the different types of friction. In this physics lesson, students explain how weight affects friction. They calculate normal force and coefficient of friction using a mathematical formula.

Teaching students about pushes, pulls, and motion? Use this site to plan lessons for students to conduct investigations to compare the effects on the motion of an object when pushes or pulls come from different directions or strengths.

Students are asked to create a bungee jump that will protect a hard-boiled egg from breaking. A force sensor is needed to measure the push/pull forces on the egg. Data is inserted into force-time graphs. After completing three...

Children discuss, observe, and play with equipment used in familiar sports, and then brainstorm a list of familiar sports and the equipment used in the sports. They discuss how the equipment is used, and predict how it is put into motion...

Understand the effect of the forces of push and pull on motion.

Learn why every force is a push or a pull.

Students will understand that pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. Students investigate the effects of these different pushes and pulls.

In this activity, students will learn about push and pull forces that make things move. They will also practice using position words to describe location. To learn about forces, they will move objects, observe the movement of objects and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] A text about a red wagon that can be pushed or pulled. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

Nikos is cleaning up and organizing in his family's theater. He finds out that different movements need different motions; sometimes a push, and sometimes a pull. Help him figure out which force to use.

In group students will learn to identify pushes and pulls. Students will learn how a push or pull will affect various items. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.

Learn about forces (push or pull), gravity, and friction in this module by training dolphins.

Students develop an understanding of the concepts of "push" and "pull" as they "save" stuffed animals from danger using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots. After learning more about the concepts through a robot demonstration, students explore...

Use the 5E model to explore magnets.
