Learners translate numbers, from real life scenarios of throwing a ball vertically upward, into a given formula so the remaining variable is the solution.

In this line graph worksheet, students use a line graph showing distance traveled to answer a set of 4 related questions. Answers are included on page 2.

Sixth graders compare distances between objects in the solar system. They investigate how light years are measured and when using them to measure how distances compare with one another. They write an essay exploring the possibility of...

Ninth graders investigate motion. In this science lesson, 9th graders conduct experiments on objects to analyze motion and speed. They define motion in everyday life.

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

Students practice throwing to a moving target and increase their facility with accurate throwing by playing this game.

Students work with a partner to plot the trajectory of a spacecraft traveling between Earth and Mars in the 2018 and returning in 2020. They examine the key factors when planning a mission to and from Mars such as travel time, distances...

Students investigate how Global Positioning Systems work and how and why GPS receivers make errors. They graph data points and apply estimation and prediction to real-life GPS situations, discuss time delay, and complete a worksheet.

Students create a table of values to graph a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.

Students examine factors that control rates in mechanical system. They identify units associated with speed, calculate speed of moving object, identify units associated with acceleration, and calculate acceleration of moving object.

Students create an anemometer, an instrument that measures wind speed.

Fourth graders develop problem solving skills while learning to measure an athletic track. The focus upon logic and reasoning is helpful for all types of science and math calculations.

In this Saturn worksheet, students use a photograph of a hexagon feature on Saturn to solve three problems. These include finding the time it takes for the jet stream to complete one circuit around the hexagon, to find the size of the...

In this pollution worksheet students study how wind affects air pollution. Students answer questions on wind data and calculate miles per hour.
