Students conduct an experiment. In this physical science lesson, students learn about Isaac Newton's theory that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. Students show this theory by looking at how a rocket is propelled...

Students move through a variety of locomotor skills at different paces to see how they affect their heart rate. For this health, human body, and physical activity lesson plan, students measure their heart rate and discuss health. A...

Students explore how compass and Gauss meter detect a magnetic field. In this physics lesson, students build their own Gauss meter and sensor based on given procedure. They cite real world applications of magnetism.

Students spread out into personal space. 2-3 taggers are then chosen and given Frisbees.Taggers can't throw Frisbees, only tag with them. Teacher decides which yoga move students who are tagged do. If student is tagged he freezes in...

Students play badminton in a modified game situation. They practice various badminton strategies of attacking and defending space skills.

Students spread out in their own personal space within a play area. They respond to different kinds of commands to play the game related to different ways of cooking eggs. This looks like lots of fun.

In this power law function worksheet, students use data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space telescope to apply the power law function to physical phenomena. Students use a graph to solve four problems.

Students begin moving around the general space using the locomotor movement which you call out, while avoiding stepping inside the hoops. When the music stops they need to find a hoop to stand in, a la "musical chairs"

Students demonstrate controlled dribbling within a restricted space.

Students, in a general space where hula hoops lay out on a floor, shuffle their feet and gently tap the hoop to move around the playing area. They should keep both feet inside the hoop at all times.

Students investigate the magnitude of Earth's magnetic field using PASCO. In this physics lesson, students describe the features of the magnetosphere. They explain how atmosphere layers protect the Earth.

Students play a form of the game "I Spy" with their teacher in their physical education class. They respond with a locomotor skill to a teacher command.

Students will examine the physics of flight through using experimental inquiry. For this lesson, you'll introduce your students to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight...

Young scholars move around the gym to music, and when the music stops, they sit on a balloon. Inside each balloon are directions for another physical activity students should do.

Students discover how flight is possible.  For this physics lesson, students investigate the properties of a blimp and gyro-copter, comparing rotating wings and fixed wings of aircraft.  Students create their own model aircraft...

Young scholars investigate the physics of flight by experimenting in class.  In this history of flight lesson, students define terms such as gravity, lift, and drag in order to better understand how a plane is able to stay in the...

Students formulate hypotheses on wave behavior and test them. In this physics lesson, students compare and contrast transverse and compression waves. They determine the wavelength of transverse waves.

Learners investigate items that interrupt magnetic fields. In this physics lesson, students explain why the paper clip in the experiment seems to fly. They write a detailed explanation of what they did in this activity.

Students create a visual timeline of skyscrapers built in the past 20 years. In this physical science activity, students research important facts about the building. They discuss the challenges architects face when building skyscrapers.

High schoolers explore the nature of electromagnetic spectrum through a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students determine how light behaves under certain circumstances. They explain how humans perceive colors.

Students explore the concept of "shape affects speed" through a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students participate in an experiment in which various objects are released on an inclined plane. Speed and distance are...

Students explore the changing density of water. In this physics instructional activity, students investigate how an object's density determines whether it will float or sink in water. They explain why this unique property of is important...

Students conduct a series of experiment on incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. In this physics lesson, students explain how they operate. They compare the efficiency and power rating of both bulbs.

Students evaluate each other playing in a basketball lead-up activity for about 3 minutes or so.
