Using the subscriber website Explorelearning.com, young mathematicians observe changes in the slope and y-intercept and their effect on the graph of lines. This activity helps students develop an intuitive sense of the connection between...

Add a little music to your next physics class. Pupils discuss how frequency determines pitch and take part in several activities designed to teach them more about sound, melody, resonance, and vibrations. They use materials to construct...

In this Walk Two Moons comprehension check worksheet, students respond to 15 short answer questions covering chapters 41-42 of Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech in order to help them better understand the novel.

In this math worksheet, students read facts about bicycling, saving fuel and helping the environment. Students are given math facts to use to complete 5 problems.

Sixth graders examine how to make line graphs.  In this Olympic line graph lesson students make line graphs and search the given Internet sites to find data on their summer Olympic Game. 

In this graphing worksheet, students read information and study diagrams about graphing. Students complete 3 graphing activities.

Students determine how the slope affects the graph of a line. They relate "b" to the "y"-intercept of a line and solve the equation of a line given "m" and "b." They are given scenarios and possible answers to which they explain why or...

Fourth graders examine the geographic features that define places and regions and answer questions about the state of California. They discuss the components of a map legend and answer worksheet questions using a map of California as a...

In this AC waveforms worksheet, learners answer ten questions about AC voltage, frequencies of waveforms and they interpret diagrams of AC voltage.

Students learn navigational techniques change when people travel to different places. They understand differences between navigation on land, water, air and in space. They explain the concept of dead reckoning as it applies to...

Take a look at acceleration within the context of automotive technology. They vary the mass on a toy car and run it down a ramp, exploring Newton's second law of motion. Though this is a classic lab activity, you will appreciate the...

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...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

In this motion worksheet, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

Determine the average on a curve. The class finds graphical representations of averages and expresses them both symbolically and on the graph. The assessment requires class members to justify using average to describe graphs.

Your pupil's pet dog and bird are racing down the city streets. In order to know who is going to win, they better know something about calculating rates, the Pythagorean Theorem, and applying those topics to the map of the city. 

Ready, aim, fire! Launch to a new level of understanding as scholars build and test their own catapults. Learners explore lever design and how adjusting the fulcrum changes the outcome. 

A nine-page physics resource supports your lesson on acceleration. A step-by-step lesson plan walks you through the materials you need, the background information, steps for leading experimentation, and the explanation of the results....
