In this word problem activity, high schoolers are given directions and guidance as to how to solve word problems. They are given the variables used in word problems, the math codes, how to change letters into formulas and 5 steps to...

Third graders study Bernoulli's Principle and Winged Flight. In this biology lesson plan, 3rd graders to see how the decrease in air pressure which occurs when air is moving allows birds to fly.

In this acceleration worksheet, young scholars use weights to increase the mass affecting the force on moving objects. Students plot a graph of their data and answer 3 questions about how the acceleration of the toy skateboard used in...

In this magnetic reconnection learning exercise, students solve seven problems using the data and graphs from the THEMIS satellite constellations, which show a series of events triggered by a magnetic reconnection. Students interpret the...

Students develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving object,...

Students investigate the flight of paper boomerangs. In this flight lesson, students examine the flight variables of paper boomerangs, which they make, by investigating the concepts of lift and drag. They examine what happens when an...

In this algebra activity, learners solve for the square root and calculate and solve roots. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders find the sum of a pair of vectors.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of nine multiple choice and free response questions.  Answers are included. 

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

Eighth graders, in groups, study acceleration and build an accelerometer.

Eighth graders conduct internet research to produce a timeline of man's growth in understanding of concepts of motion and planetary motion through history.

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

Students discuss and view examples of acceleration. They work together to determine acceleration rates in two ways. They analyze their data and discuss.

High schoolers 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...

Pupils calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Students solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.

Students drill and practice putting problems into vector form. They draw each problem before trying to solve them. Students draw arrows for any vector quantities to indicate magnitude and direction.

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...

Sixth graders explore the uses of a trundle wheel. In this units of measurement lesson, 6th graders use trundle wheels to measure distances.

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

Students are told that the weight of a car is equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. When a car is at react on a horizontal road, there must be a normal force with which the road pushes up on the car to keep it...

In this space flight learning exercise, students will review physics terms relating to space which includes measuring the distance of space objects, how rockets work, and electromagnetic waves. This learning exercise has 10 terms in a...

In this math worksheet, students plot the course for a ship traveling from one point to another using two Cartesian coordinates. Then they plot the vector of the course.

In this math worksheet, students consider a path around the unit circle parameterized by σ on the interval [0, 1] with σ(t) = sin(5πt − π), cos(5πt − π). Then they find the vector.
