Students study the concepts of motion, velocity, and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They explain the difference between speed and velocity using the weather vane example. They discover the difference...

Eighth graders investigate the water cycle and its processes. They examine temperature and precipiation data to classify climate of ten cities. They then create a climate map of the world.

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during the...

Want my name and number? It's 6.0221415 times 10 to the 23rd, and my name is Avogadro. Providing nine different activities, experiments, and labs, this lesson keeps Avogadro relevant to your class all year long. 

In this motion activity, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

Students investigate magnetic permeability and saturation. In this physics lesson, students explain how current carrying wire coils create magnetic forces. They interpret normal magnetization curves.

As part of a larger site called "Getting started in Chemistry," this site examines the units of scientific measurement with specific attention given to SI base units, SI decimal prefixes, units outside SI, and more.

The innovative resource introduces learners to setting a scale when making measurements, units of measurement, and entomology. The activity has an interactive online version and a printable data sheet.

Students use three tracks marked on the floor, one in yards, one in feet and one in inches. As they start and stop a robot specific distances on a "runway," they can easily determine the equivalent measurements in other units by looking...

Here's where to obtain your official brochure on SI, from the people who derived it. Little info at this site, except how to order an official brochure (and its cost). Or you can download a copy free.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students will describe the International System of Units (SI) and be able to convert units between International and English systems.

By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: Perform unit conversions in both SI and English units, Explain the most common prefixes of SI units, and be able to write them in scientific notation.

An interactive tutorial teaching the basics of measurements and units. Anyone can learn the SI units of measurement with this easy-to-understand slideshow.

By the end of this section, you will be able to associate physical quantities with their International System of Units (SI) and perform conversions among SI units using scientific notation; relate measurement uncertainty to significant...
