Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics lesson, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Middle schoolers identify air pressure and how it affects objects. # Show the students a bottle that has a mouth that is too small for an egg to pass through. Set a piece of paper on fire and drop it into the bottle. Place one hard...

Students examine the range of motion of your knee, wrist and shoulder and observe that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints.

In this magnet worksheet students locate 12 words and mark them in the puzzle. Each word pertains to magnets, and the word search is shaped like a magnet.

For this pressure worksheet, students use a bottle, funnel, water, and more to experiment with the pressure water will make when a hole is cut into the bottle. Students see how far the distance the water squirts for 5 measures of water.

This PowerPoint provides a multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank format for reviewing vocabulary and related content following an "earth's crust" science unit. The information is concise and age-appropriate and the font and colors are...

In this Newton's laws worksheet, students review the definitions of the law of inertia, law of acceleration, and the law that relates force to acceleration. This worksheet has 10 short answer questions.

In this Newton's laws worksheet, students review the law of inertia, the law of acceleration, and the law relating force to acceleration. This worksheet has 10 short answer questions.

Fourth graders study physical and chemical weathering. They explain how the processes of weathering and erosion change and move materials that become soil. They create a K-W-L chart to show what they know and list what else they would...

Students observe a series of teacher-led demonstrations about air movement. They explain the existence and movement of air, then list 3 things that they have learned about air. Finally, students go outside and shoot off air cannons.

For this forces worksheet, students draw the indicated vector and show the components into which it is resolved and then calculate for acceleration, speed, or momentum. This worksheet has 12 word problems.

For this waves worksheet, learners read about the different types of waves associated with earthquakes. Then students complete 1 fill in the blank and 2 short answer questions.

In this battery holder activity, learners follow directions on how to use a toilet paper tube, foil, wires, and more to build a battery holder. Students follow 8 sets of directions.

Sixth graders identify air pressure and how it affects objects. They experiment with one hard boiled egg in a bottle and the affects of air pressure on the egg.

Students study causes, probability and location of earthquakes. They complete a number of activities and look at web pages to examine the characteristics of earthquakes.

Student, use seismic readings of the same earthquake from three recording stations and locate the epicenter of an earthquake on a map.

Fourth graders participate in a game reflecting the solar system, stars, and rockets. They simulate how space invaders move and hit stars and rockets. They discuss how scientists study the stars and planets.

Learners experiment with the alveoli by showing how nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide can affect the lungs. They role play being nicotine, carbon dioxide, tar, alveoli and cough.

Students explore homeostasis and identify it in work in an organism. They brainstorm things that stay the same and participate in several demonstrations that illustrate homeostasis. Students predict baseline breathing and jumping jacks

Students investigate sound as a form of energy. In this energy, forces, and sound lesson plan, students work in pairs to examine how sound travels through solid things as they construct a telephone exchange system using string and tin.

Students participate in a role play in which they use simple machines to do the work of retrieving their sibling from a tree which lost its ladder. They investigate how work is accomplished when an object moves in the direction of the...

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.

Sixth graders build a working motor. In this lesson on motors, 6th graders use an inquiry method of learning to discover how to create a working electric motor with the supplies given to them. The teacher will guide them as needed....
