Students graph many sets of data from the Albatross Project including, flight distances, flight destinations, time between feedings, weight gain of the baby albatross, hatching and fledging dates

Students examine what happens to road salt after it is applied to the road during a storm. In groups, they collect their samples using a conductivity meter and enter their data into a database. They analyze and discuss the data...

Students investigate the relationship between shape of object and moment of inertia. In this physics instructional activity, students collect data from the experiment and use spreadsheet to graph them. They discuss how load affects...

In this algebra learning exercise, 11th graders rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They relate parabolas to the real world and calculate the breaking distance using the distance formula they come up with. There is answer key.

In this motion worksheet, students use a position vs. time graph to determine the distance traveled and the velocity at with the object traveled. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

In this speed worksheet, students use dominoes to measure the average speed of rows falling over. Students make a line graph to show the relationship between the length of the domino row and the time. Students answer 8 questions about...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II learning exercise, students solve verbal problems in which they calculate the indicated rate and choose the appropriate unit of measurement.  The three page learning exercise contains a combination of...

Learners practice generating parabolas with a motion sensor while determining the vertex form of the equation. They compare it to the regression equation from the calculator onto a data mate software. Each student completes several...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Students identify when uniform motion occurs. They watch a teacher made PowerPoint explaining the concept of uniform motion and carry out an experiment to understand the concept.

In this math worksheet, students analyze a path around a circle. The interval is defined. Students sketch a graph of a given parametric curve. Five application problems give students practice using these concepts in real life situations.

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the distance traveled when an object is moving in a straight line. Students graph functions and determine the slope of the line. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

Most young mathematicians are aware that the planets don’t orbit the sun in a circle but rather as an ellipse, but have never studied this interesting feature. This resource looks at the planetary orbits in more detail and helps learners...

Students familiarize themselves, through teacher demonstration, with Gavendish's apparatus first used for experimentally determining the value of the Universal Gravitational Constant G, and calculate theoretical value of Earth's...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

For this rate worksheet, students draw and label given situations, determine the rates and the relationship between them. This two-page worksheet contains 7 multi-step problems.

Students create a survey to hand out to determine the best field day park. Using their local area, they select five parks, if possible, that meet the criteria and calculate the distance and estimated time travel. They use this...

Students write letters to organizations, such as United States Geological Society, to find out more about rocks. Students write about a pretend time they found a magic pebble. Students calculate distances to travel to see various...
