Students are able to design and conduct an experiment related to electrical generation. They are able to list the factors that affect the amount of current that can be generated by a simple generator, such as the number of turns of...

Students establish the angular velocity of the Sun and determine how long it takes the Sun to make one complete revolution. They determine what angular velocity is and how it can be useful in determining the speed and direction of any...

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

Students explore and discuss hurricanes, and examine how meteorologists, weather officers, and NASA researchers use measurement and data analysis to predict severe weather. They plot points on coordinate map, classify hurricanes...

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

In this algebraic expressions and equations worksheet, 9th graders solve 12 various types of problems ranging from writing expressions for each written equation to solving 8 different word problems related to cost, speed, age, and...

In this graphing instructional activity, students use velocity vs. time graphs to create speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Students create 24 graphs.

Students design a roller coaster that allows a marble to run the course as fast as possible. Students create an experimental roller coaster taking into account the steepness of the hills and the sharpness of the turns. Students use a...

Hee-haw! Preschool or kindergarten math pupils identify and count different objects in a lively farm landscape. Beneath the picture, each animal or plant is represented pictorially, and little ones simply write the total count for each....

In this physics 240:10 worksheet, students calculate the speed and distance as presented in the given word problems. Students apply their understanding of Hooke's law to answer the questions provided.

In this average, mode and median worksheet, students learn how to determine each of these values and practice finding all three. They are given a table of different falcon flight speeds and they calculate the average, mode and median for...

In this phase change activity, students read about the particles in substances that speed up and slow down for substances to change phases. They answer eight questions about phase changes, the states of matter and how changing...

In this sound worksheet, learners read about sound waves, how they are graphed, what frequency is and how it's related to pitch and the speed of sound. Students solve 8 sections of problems including matching terms related to sound to...

For this momentum worksheet, high schoolers solve 11 problems including finding initial and final momentum of objects, finding velocity of objects, determining kinetic energy before and after collisions and finding final speeds of moving...

In this states of matter worksheet, students read about the changes in energy for matter to go from one state to another state. They complete a chart for each state of matter and identify the shape, the volume, its compressibility, the...

In this magnetism instructional activity, students read about properties of magnets, permanent and temporary magnets, electromagnets, and magnetic fields. They match 10 terms about types of magnets with their definitions, they draw an...

Students observe falling objects. In this lesson plan about gravity, students work in groups to determine how objects fall. Students determine speed of objects falling and whether weight is a factor. Students understand the concept of...

Students practice their multiplication table using a game to increase speed and accuracy. In this multiplication activity, students distribute 5 random number cards to each player (2-5 players) and they "play" if their hand includes 3...

Students experience various Winter Olympic sports in Physical Education class. In this Winter Olympics lesson, students participate in stations which represent the Olympic games. These representative stations include a biathlon, cross...

In this unbalanced forces and velocity learning exercise, students define 6 terms and solve 9 problems related to forces, velocity, speed, and motion.

In this graphing time and distance worksheet, students graph data of a two race cars as they drive over time. Students plot the time vs. the distance for both cars and answer questions about the data. They determine the speed of the cars...
