In this calculus worksheet, students answer compute the distance of an object from a given point after t seconds when given the formula. They use the chain rule to answer 2 questions. Students compute the derivatives and sketch a graph...

Students relate algebra to real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, students design a plan to help traffic flow smoothly using velocity and speed. This assignment is done using Microsoft Excel.

Middle schoolers trace sailing route of Spanish and Portuguese exploration ships. They calculate and compare distances that different explorers traveled. Students calculate how long it would take to travel an explorer's route using...

High schoolers gain an understanding of Kepler's 2nd law--that planets (and satellites) move fastest at their closest approach to the center of attraction, and slow down when far away. They explore the concepts of "potential energy" and...

Students discuss the conservation of momentum in a collision between two bumper cars and an explosion between a bullet and the rifle's kickback, as well as collisions occurring in 2 dimensions and how they are all expressed mathematically.

Tenth graders devise a computational model to explore how the orbit of the Earth might change if its velocity were different. Using accurately recorded data, 10th graders defend a scientific argument.

Students create a video of an object falling with a drag. In this physics lesson, students calculate drag coefficient using data from Logger Pro. They calculate velocity and acceleration of the object.

Students observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

Third graders are introduced to the correct mechanics of throwing. They work in peer groups to demonstrate proper throwing form and critique each other's performance.

Students determine what they know about hurricane formation. They experiment to explain hurricane formation and track a hurricane that forms in the Caribbean Islands.

Learners identify and interpret maps, graphs, charts, tables and political cartoons. Students identify what a compass rose is and review its meaning in relation to standard directions. Learners design their own weathervanes. Students...

Fourth graders compare/contrast and interpret data concerning different objects straight line motion. They observe several round or spherical objects of various materials and sizes. Students make predictions, observe and collect data...

Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson plan students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Middle schoolers examine the effects of variables. They view a video which introduces the concepts, take part in an internet-based activity, then engage in a hands-on activity which allows them to practice what they have been studying.

Students design an Aerogel model to capture clay particles. In this space science lesson, students discover what happens to comets as they hit a surface. They explain how the Aerogel technology would help scientists study comets better.

Students calculate acceleration due to gravity.

Young scholars use their knowledge to crash a comet into Jupiter or make a comet fly past the planet without colliding with it.

High schoolers experiment to show the components that dictate centripetal force in an object. They observe how the object moves in a circular path around a central point.

In this math worksheet, students analyze a path around a circle. The interval is defined. Students sketch a graph of a given parametric curve. Five application problems give students practice using these concepts in real life situations.

In this 3rd grade science worksheet, 3rd graders complete a total of 25 multiple choice questions related to grade 3 concepts. An answer key is given.

In this differentiation in space math worksheet, students use 6 different equations to solve 6 problems that involve differentiation related to astrophysics.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite a word problem using algebraic symbols. They calculate the distance flown before the impact of the two objects occurs. An answer key is provided.

Eighth graders create rockets that be launched at varying angles to determine which angle is best to launch at for the longest distance.

Young scholars conduct a series of experiments on magnetic levitation. In this physics lesson, students discover how Maglev trains operate. They explain how magnetism make even simple objects levitate.
