Pupils test the strength and speed of their Manduca. They keep their insect in a small dish and wiegh it down with pennies. They share their observations with the class.

Young scholars identify six different simple machines. They investigate the difference between the ideal and actual mechanical advantage. Students calculate the actual mechanical advantage for several simple machines.

Many youngsters don't understand that fitness is a life-long endeavor, and that it really pays off to be healthy. Use a spreadsheet to document progress in a fitness plan to see if there really in a benefit to running and exercise. Adapt...

Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of data analysis with the use of quadratics. They use a Precalculus text in order to give guidance for independent practice and to serve as a source for the teacher to use. The data...

Students use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.

Learners stride the straights and walk the curves on a track in order to improve physical fitness. They work on varied lengths for the strides and walks.

In this distance learning exercise, students solve 1 word problem that has three question parts. The questions involve average distance and rate of speed.

Learners locate the major cities in the colonies during the Revolutionary War. For this map skills lesson, students use a globe to locate cities such as Charleston and Boston using latitude and longitude coordinates.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Students identify when uniform motion occurs. They watch a teacher made PowerPoint explaining the concept of uniform motion and carry out an experiment to understand the concept.

First graders study Newton's Second Law of Motion before demonstrating the concept with a simple machine. They sing a song about speed, force, mass, and acceleration. They use simple machines to demonstrate how objects that have a higher...
