Young scholars explore how present biotechnology has evolved. They create a timeline is included referencing major scientists and major events in history which have led to our current understanding and use. A teacher time line is included.

Students illustrate a First Nations' legend.  In this legend of bears instructional activity, students read several legends which involve bears and groups of stars or constellations. After reading, students illustrate portions of...

Third graders consider outer space. In this introductory solar system lesson, 3rd graders complete a KWL chart and listen to the story The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System, by Joanna Cole & Bruce Degen. They will contribute...

Eighth graders explore the history of space travel and satellites. Through a teacher demonstration, 8th graders observe how a satellite revolves another object. They identify natural and artificial satellites, explore how satellites...

In this Uranus research recording worksheet, students see a black line picture of the planet in the middle of the page. They fill in 5 facts about the planet which include its distance from the sun, its distance across, and the length of...

Students explore technology used in making movies. In this movie making lesson, students investigate how technology has improved in the entertainment industry. Students discover how simple tools are combined together to make complex...

Students calculate angular displacement, velocity and acceleration of gyrocopters. In this physics lesson, students compare data taken from 3 different gyrocopters. They explain how differences in construction material affect rates of...

Young scholars explore uniform circular motion, and the relation of its frequency of N revolutions/sec with the peripheral velocity v and with the rotation period T. They examine how uniform circular motion is a type of accelerated motion.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students solve problems similar to those on the SAT test.  The interactive worksheet is one page and contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Students use two pairs of parametric equations to describe two objects in motion. They determine when two objects are the closest. They simulate the behavior of the two objects and interpret the behavior of the objects in motion.

In this word search worksheet, students search for words related to the Earth, the sun and it's movements. Terms include seasons, features, and movements.

Students research Mars, read why it is called the Red Planet and find out whether there is or was life on Mars.

Learners conclude that magnets and magnetic fields can produce electricity. Students also understand how a small motor works and how gears work. Learners describe how energy can transform along a pathway.

Fourth graders explore the planets by researching and writing a report about one of the nine planets.

Use the Internet to find facts about the planets. Cooperative groups design a travel brochure for a planet. They use a desktop publishing program to create the travel brochure.

After a unit on the solar system, this resource would be a motivating way for students to review what they have learned. The presentation does not have in-depth questions, but could be used as a quick review of basic concepts relating to...

Students experiment to show the components that dictate centripetal force in an object. They observe how the object moves in a circular path around a central point.

In this creative group writing worksheet, students have twenty-five minutes to write a brief story about planet Earth using the words listed in the word bank.

Third graders create a model of the solar system. In this solar system lesson, 3rd graders create a scale model of the solar system. Working in pairs students solve mathematical problems to correctly measure the distance each planet is...

Students study about deriving centripetal acceleration for motion at constant speed around a circle.

Sixth graders understand the patterns of change observable on Earth as a result of the movement of the different bodies in the solar system. They identify the physical characteristics of the different components of the solar system.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Summarizes the key points about how our understanding of the Earth's movements evolved from ancient times and what we know today. Includes some questions to check...

Learn about the Earth's revolution and rotation in this module.

Join the ladybug in an exploration of rotational motion. Rotate the merry-go-round to change its angle, or choose a constant angular velocity or angular acceleration. Explore how circular motion relates to the bug's x,y position,...
