Students analyze a map and graph information on eleven countries. Using the characteristics of the countries, they determine if they should host the summer or winter Olympic games. After viewing a video, they locate the latitudes of...

Young scholars complete cycle ergometer test to enable them to discuss their potential in each of the three events in a triathlon. They use their own dataset to make decisions as to their abilities in each sport.

Students examine the design and construction of athletic footwear. They analyze the magnitude and directions of forces on the foot and leg in different sports, interview people, and design a running shoe for a triathlete.

Seventh graders investigate the steps in writing a newspaper sports article and utilizd the information to report their class car race results. The racing cars are built out of vegetables and fruit and entered into the class competition,...

Pupils work together to examine how different types of balls react to colliding with different surfaces. They discover the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. They practice calculating momentum as well.

Pupils write a sketch of an artist or athlete that has pushed the limits on gravity. They explore concepts of rhythm, balance and friction. They examine how engineers design sports equipment.

Young scholars examine the range of motion of your knee, wrist and shoulder and observe that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints.

Pupils build a model of a human arm and shoulder.

Students use heart rate monitors and complete a swimming and running test. These tests allow students to obtain personal data, to manipulate the data through calculations of various parameters, and to graphically represent the data.

Students design a class newspaper all about their study of crickets, including illustrations and various sections of the newspaper, like sports, jokes, articles, food, and reviews. Students create a plan to design a cricket from food...

Learners explore physical education by participating in a sport with their classmates. In this golf swinging lesson, students discuss the different golf clubs and their specific uses. Learners participate in a golf station game in which...

Students use heart rate monitors and complete a swimming and running test. These tests allow students to obtain personal data, to manipulate the data through calculations of various parameters, and to graphically represent the data.

Students complete a final exercise test (cycle ergometer) that enable them to discuss their potential in each of the three events. They are introduced to the concepts of economy and efficiency in running, swimming and cycling.

Students observe a video about pilots, their desired traits, and explore the similarities between a bird and an airplane. Using paper, wood or foam, they design create an aircraft to be flown in a competition to see which plane will fly...

Third graders become familiar with the effects of force through curling.  In this turnip curling lesson, 3rd graders experiment with a turnip curling stone on various surfaces. Students are assess with a new variable and observation...

Students investigate range of motion in human joints and the mechanical devices they emulate. They construct a human arm model with three joints which emulate the wrist, elbow and shoulder.

Students build and program a Lego Mindstorms Roverbot to travel for a given amount of time. They gather data on time versus distance traveled to determine a calibration constant for their robot, which relates time to distance.

Fifth graders study the components and function of the nervous system. They investigate how engineers design biomedical equipment to assist the nervous system and explain how the five senses are affected during spaceflight.

Students make their way to British museums. In this field trip opportunities lesson, students visit the The Deep, the Science of Sport, the Castle Munster, or High Beeches online on in person to experience hands-on science instruction.

Students investigate the environmental costs of operating golf courses. In this current events lesson, students visit selected websites to study golf course needs and green design options.

Students build their own boomerang. In this physics lesson, students trace the origin of this equipment. They practice throwing and catching them.

Students examine how physics help high jumpers break records. They discuss the phases of the high jump, gravity, and center of gravity, and conduct an experiment to determine whether they can improve the height of their jump.

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 explain how manufactured products depend on its function for a purpose.  In this sticky tape lesson students test the strength of different tapes, take measurements and record data.
