Learners, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

In this rate worksheet, students read story problems, write equations, and determine the rate of given objects. They use proportions or equations to determine cost and value. This one-page worksheet contains ten multi-step problems.

Students increase their reading fluency through the use of various strategies. After reviewing chunking, decoding, and rereading, students complete an initial read of a novel text. Working in small groups, they read complete a timed...

In this integral activity, students use Riemann sums to estimate their answers. They answer story (or word) problems about distance/speed. Students are given a defined interval and use the Riemann sum to find the endpoints of the graph....

Students investigate speed. In this rate of change instructional activity, students complete a rate/time/distance table to determine the average m.p.h. of a given trip. They listen and follow along with the lecture and examples to...

In this function and graph worksheet, students read and interpret maps and graphs. They write an equation, define variables and solve the equation. Students solve diamond problems and use the distributive property to solve equations. ...

In this power worksheet, students use the equations of power and work to complete 4 word problems. Students use the standard units of watts and joules.

In this waves activity, students define 23 vocabulary words associated with the different types of waves and how waves are measured. Students complete 23 matching terms with definitions and draw the superposition of two waves shown.

In this physics learning exercise, learners review vocabulary terms and key equations associated with the quantum mechanical model. Students apply the quantum theory to explain the photoelectric effect. This learning exercise has 5 true...

Students explore the concepts of force and motion by creating a video.  In this physics lesson, students are assigned one particular aspect of force and motion to investigate and work in groups to create a video that will be...

Students perform an experiment with different sizes of followers (from an easy to follow set of teacher directions) and record their observations. They test the rotations of the driver compared to the rotations of a follower and put the...

In this light worksheet, students calculate the frequency and wavelength. Students practice applying Planck's constant and determining the energy of a photon. This worksheet has 9 problems to solve.

Students examine the distances between the Sun, planets, and smaller objects in the Solar System. They design a model using beads that shows the scale distances of the Solar System using astronomical units converted into a 10 centimeter...

What came first, pedestrian one or pedestrian two? Scholars consider a problem scenario in which two people walk at different rates at different times. They must decide who reaches a checkpoint first. Their answers are likely to surprise...

In 2006, New Horizons began its mission to fly to Pluto. As it continues its journey, scholars track its progress with the help of an informative website, all the while reinforcing measurement concepts with the construction of a scaled...

Connect proportional linear equations and systems. The seven-question assessment is the last installment in a 33-part series. The items cover comparing proportional relationships, slope concepts, and simultaneous linear...

In this orbit of stars in galaxies worksheet, students are given an equation that models the orbital speeds of stars as they relate to their distance from the nucleus of a galaxy. Students solve 5 problems using this equation and...

In this projectile motion learning exercise, students solve 3 problems and an inquiry problem using three equations that describe projectile motion. One equation is for the maximum velocity to reach a height, H, the other is the maximum...

Ninth graders research weapons of the Aboriginal people and throw a dart with and without the use of an atlatl. In this cross curricular lesson, 9th graders research the weapons of the Aboriginal people. They throw darts with and without...

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics instructional activity, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric...

Students, using wood blocks and model boats, investigate how the shape of an object affects friction it encounters as it is drawn through a towing tank.

For this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders are tested on the mathematics skills. Students use problem solving strategies to work the given equations and situations.

Students focus on a force and motion problem, explore it, reflect on it and apply it while completing experiments.  In this motion lesson, students experiment with force and motion by creating a track for testing cars.  

In this Walk Two Moons comprehension check worksheet, students respond to 15 short answer questions covering chapters 41-42 of Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech in order to help them better understand the novel.
