In this Dulles to Denver activity, students determine the airspeed of an airplane.  This one-page activity contains 1 problem.  The answer is provided.

Young scholars discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.

In this math instructional activity, students find the solution to the problems using the story of the Tortoise and The Hare. They solve the problem by checking the logic of the reasoning that the tortoise would win the race.

Students solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.

In this energy worksheet, learners use a data chart comparing the energy used while running and walking to create a graph and complete 2 short answer questions.

In this motion worksheet, students will match 5 physics vocabulary words relating to motion with their definitions. Then, they will review 9 statements of different motion scenarios to determine is the statement is true or false....

Students compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

For this magnetosphere global exploration worksheet, students read about the instrument on board a satellite launched by NASA called the Radio Plasma Imager. This imager detects echoes from plasma clouds. Students calculate the distance...

Students trace the route of the historical event and measure the distance over which the people involved journeyed. A data sheet be constructed outlining the location of events, and the speed with which the journey occurred.

Students use vector analysis to examine the concept of dead reckoning. They listen to a teacher-led lecture, complete a Vector Voyage Worksheet with the teacher, answer discussion questions, and use the Pythagorean Theorem for speed...

Students observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

In this algebra worksheet, learners are given a word problem and asked to use algebra to solve it. They have to calculate the speed of a train and a car if they are both moving at a constant rate. There is an answer key.

Learners view a film about baseball and calculate the time required for a variety of operations that take place in baseball. They use the calculations to stage a credible game of Shadow Ball and reflect on the challenges for arranging...

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 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...

In this rate worksheet, students read story problems, write equations, and determine the rate of given objects. They use proportions or equations to determine cost and value. This one-page worksheet contains ten multi-step problems.

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

Up, up, and away! Take your classes on a physics adventure. Learners explore the concepts important for flight. They experiment with the Bernoulli Principle while learning the forces that act on airplanes in flight.

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

In this Earth's magnetic pole learning exercise, students use a diagram showing the changes in the magnetic pole of the Earth over time. Students use the given scale of the changes to answer 6 questions about the average speed of the...

In this rate of change instructional activity, students read about how to calculate the rate of change in different processes such as plant growth. They are given example problems and practice calculating rates of change.

For this secondary mathematics learning exercise, high schoolers collect data based on a person’s motion. From this data, high schoolers create graphs comparing displacement, velocity, and acceleration to time. The five-page learning...

In this martian dust devils instructional activity, students use images of a dust devil captured by NASA's Spirit rover to calculate the distance the dust devil traveled, the speed, and its acceleration or deceleration.
