Learners explore how mass affects speed in this hands-on physics experiment. In this mass and speed lesson, students fill a baby food jar with water and leave a second jar empty. They roll the 2 jars down a ramp to observe which jar will...

In this science worksheet, students follow the directions and construct a simple instrument to measure the speed of the wind. Students then measure the wind speed and record data for one school week. On other pages students construct a...

In this centripetal force worksheet, students investigate the relationship between an object's orbiting speed and the centripetal force acting upon the object. Students us two rubber stoppers, some twine and a tube to study the...

Students explore how various ramps affect the rate of speed of a rolling object. In this physics lesson, students work in groups to build a ramp out of various materials. Students test and record the rate of speed of a rolling object by...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students determine the speed at which we travel a circle around the axis of the earth and around the sun.  The one page worksheet contains one problem. A solution is provided. 

Assist your class in learning graphical analysis by reviewing the slide presentation. Class members review 15 slides to further understand concepts such as velocity and acceleration. They conclude with practice problems related to the...

Gotta catch them all—no learner left behind! Young scholars must predict the length of time it takes a phone attached to a fan to travel five kilometers given the radius and rotations versus time data. Why would you attach a phone to a...

Students determine the length of time needed to walk or run or walk a given distance. They plot the data on a graph and use the results of data collection to develop the concept of slope.

High schoolers are asked how do they calculate velocity? They take a trip to the school's track and have a series of timed races. Students return to class and calculate their velocity and see who is the fastest. They summarize what...

In this graphing linear motion learning exercise, students answer 20 questions about velocity of objects, the distance they travel and the time. They interpret a graph of position vs. time and identify the velocity at certain point on...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the rate or time using the appropriate units.    The one page worksheet contains a combination of six multiple choice and free response questions.  Answers...

Students perform at five fitness stations a day for a week. Each fitness station be based on a benefit of vigorous physical activity.

Students are able to visualize a tornado usig a simple experiment. They are divided into small groups. Students drill a 3/8 inch hole in the center of each bottle cap. Students connect the caps to the top of each other using glue. ...

Students practice techniques to help them be able to read faster, smoother and with expression. They read and reread a text in order to become more familiar with the words in the passage. Each student is given a copy of "Caps for Sale,"...

In this acceleration worksheet, students practice determining acceleration, distance traveled, velocity and time given 5 problems with different scenarios.

In this bicycle as a system worksheet, learners are assigned a subsystem of a bicycle, such as the wheel, the brakes and steering, or the frame. Each group of students identifies the parts, the function, the input, and the output of the...

Students study the classification system of tornadoes.  For this tornado lesson students make their own tornadoes in different mediums.

Learners are posted at the beginning and end of a 10-meter long line parallel to the ocean and are instructed to look straight ahead towards the water. The student at the beginning of the line uses a stopwatch, goes to the water's edge...

In this momentum worksheet, learners use the equation for momentum to describe an object's motion. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

In this energy and mass worksheet, students read about Einstein's formula, E=mc2 and they solve six problems. They convert from different energy units to different mass units using a given formula.

In this meter worksheet problem, students read a word problem and interpret a graph.  They use the derived information to determine time and distance.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problem.  Answers are...

Second graders identify the different function and parts of the ear. In this physics lesson, 2nd graders explain how we hear sound. They read about the life of Helen Keller and respond to questions that follow.

Perform operations using matrices in this algebra lesson plan. Middle schoolers add, subtract, and multiply matrices. Additionally, they solve systems of equations using matrices.

Each of these slides has notes for a teacher to support the activities that are planned for the students. The slides give details and facts about sound waves. Although this slide show delivers useful information about the sound waves,...
