Students are introduced to the characteristics of air and where it can be found. As a class, they discover that no two objects can occupy the same space and discover how to calculate mass. In groups, they participate in an experiment...

Young scholars investigate the properties of air through hands-on activities in conjunction with the demonstrations in a 3-2-1 Contact Video.

In this word problem worksheet, students problem solve to find the answers to 4 examples. They use a variety of strategies including solve a simpler problem, and using logic in their work.

In this redox reaction worksheet, high schoolers perform a redox titration to determine the number of iodide ions that react with each mole of iodate (V) ions in a solution. They calculate their answer using a given equation.

Fourth graders conduct experiments to identify the center of gravity. In this gravity lesson, 4th graders do two hands-on experiments to increase their understanding of this concept. This self-discovery lesson provides students with the...

Pupils determine the force of a helium balloon that allows it to rise a specific distance.  In this helium lesson students calculate the amount of paper needed to construct a weight and determine the density of a piece of paper. 

Students are able to identify the units associated with linear work. They are able to calculate the work done on an object. Students discover how the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves determines the work done...

Students create packages with a maximum capacity. For this geometry lesson ,students estimate using whole numbers, decimals and fractions. They calculate length, weight and mass of packaging.

Students investigate buoyancy. In this buoyancy instructional activity, students apply the Archimedes Principle of Buoyancy to the experiment conducted in class to determine how battleships float.

Students help plan a party for Q-Bear and think about some of the different ways people celebrate their birthdays. They then demonstrate knowledge and understanding of customs and traditions associated with participation in cultural...

Students work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...

Students explore chemical solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate the relationship between three related experiments about solutions. Students determine variables that affect the chemical concentration of each solution.

In this Isaac Newton activity, students analyze ten words in a word box that pertain to Newton's Law. Students match these words to their definitions.

Students watch a demonstration that introduces them to the idea that friction is a force that impedes motion when two surfaces are in contact. They work in groups to experiment with frictional force using a coffee cup on which they alter...

For this movie comprehension worksheet, students view the DVD "March of the Penguins", then complete 31 short answer comprehension questions about the movie.

In this forces worksheet, learners use the mechanical advantage equation to solve for input distance or output distance. The worksheet has 17 problems to solve.

Students convert mole to mass to particles and vice versa. In this chemistry instructional activity, students discuss the importance of Avogadro's number. They apply what they have learned in a team competition.

In this calculus-based worksheet, learners experiment how to add forces in order to get a net force of zero with no acceleration while following the directions of a variety of different scenarios.

Learners find the percent composition of sugar in the gum. For this chemistry lesson, students calculate percent error from the experiment. They use dimensional analysis to convert between units.

Students discuss the relationship between technology and manufacturing. They then use their ideas to construct a model of a paper board carton package. Next they view a PowerPoint presentation to learn about the history of packaging...

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology instructional activity, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...
