For this motion worksheet, students determine the distance traveled, the acceleration, and velocity of different objects. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

Students use correct keyboarding technique to improve speed and accuracy. They respond to verbal comments, such as "Be sure you are keeping your fingers on home row." They choose one technique component to work on and fill it in on...

Students practice hand-eye coordination skills by identifying proper throwing technique, and by passing, throwing, and bouncing ball to partner from distance of six feet, both while stationary and in motion.

Fifth graders use various strategies to find the area of land, the area of forestry and the population of Japan and the US. In this size per unit lesson, 5th graders explore how to figure ratio. Students draw pictures to...

Middle schoolers determine the velocity of a marble rolling down the incline. In this physics lesson, students identify the independent and dependent variables in the experiment. They construct and analyze a graph.

Young scholars graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra instructional activity, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.

Learners discover how to use maps and why they are important when using a map. They calculate distance using a map scale and time using travel speed and a map scale.

Students research the characteristics of planets in our solar system. In this space science lesson, students create a solar system model with each planet arranged according to their distance from the sun. They solve problems using the...

Students determine velocity using the slope of a time distance graph. They investigate a motion cart using a CBR unit and a TI 83 calculator setup. Using the graph generated, they calculate velocity.

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

Students, individually and in groups, utilize Internet sites to access maps, scales, and information to assist them in calculating distances. They research modes of travel from their homes to Nagano, Japan, and write a travel agenda for

Students are introduced to the concept of motion. In groups, they practice calculating the rate, time, and distance of various objects on a variety of surfaces. To end the lesson, they apply the same principles to those objects moving...

Students explore the size of our Universe by understanding how long it takes to travel around from object to object in it - even if you travel at the speed of light! In making our exploration, we will examine ways of measuring distance,...

Students work effectively in groups to achieve a common goal: Create the most efficient cargo shipping route. They successfully identify and locate port cities using latitude and longitude. To use the formula r=d/t (rate equals distance...

Learners predict the speeds of humans and hermit crabs and investigate their predictions using ratios and formulas. AppleWorks is used for this lesson plan, which includes a data worksheet.

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...

Fourth graders estimate the average traveling distance to a city of choice with the help of an internet site. They determine the amount of time it will take to travel there at a speed of 65 miles per hour. Students set up a proportion to...

Learners utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball.  In this physics instructional activity, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by...

Learners determine that moving charges create a magnetic field. They discover that the speed and direction of motion, the amount of charge, and the deflection angle observed are closely linked. A voltmeter, pendulum, and a constructed...

Sixth graders use rubber bands, textbooks, pencils, rulers and yo-yos to experiment with the concept of vibrations. They observe changes in pitch according to the speed of vibrations and record their observations in a journal.

High schoolers examine the transportation system of a tree and the speed with which nutrients and water move. Cross sections of the samples used are examined in class for experimental results.

Students examine the astronomical concept of a year. They relate the passage of time on planets to historical events in the USA.

Twelfth graders examine illustrations and animations on a Physlets CD in which they must describe motion, analyze graphs, and calculate initial velocity. The Physlet assists in providing active class participation in discussion.

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables lesson. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms. Finally, they write...
