Fourth graders complete an experiment on calculating speed.  In this speed calculation lesson plan students complete an activity in which they have dominoes fall as slow as possible. 

Learners find equations of parabolas in real world scenarios.  For this finding equations of parabolas in real world scenarios lesson, students find the equations of parabolas of US landmarks.  Learners put a grid on landmarks...

Learners read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

In this slope of a line worksheet, students read about line graphs and plotting the slope of a line. They read about the rate of change which is represented by the slope. Students practice finding the slope of lines.

In this detecting dwarf planets worksheet, high schoolers read about the Webb Space Telescope that will be launched in 2014 to detect dwarf planets using an infrared telescope. Students solve 3 problems and create a graph for each using...

Students explore the concept of linear motion. For this linear motion lesson, students calculate distance and time in order to calculate average speed and velocity in the provided problems.

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics lesson, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric system.

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Fifth graders give examples of objects that move slow and fast. In this physics lesson, 5th graders rank animals according to how quickly they move. They create a bar graph of organisms versus rates of speed.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

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.

Middle schoolers examine how water affects the community of Braintree. Using a map, they locate main resevoirs and rivers in the area and research the history of one of the resevoirs. They use charts and graphs to show how land use has...

Students predict, then measure how far a bug can travel on a "course" over a specified amount of time, then construct graphs based on the data they acquire.

Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students travel one at a time in a straight-line path and attempt to maintain a constant velocity. While one student walks, jogs, or runs, the other group members time the "runner" while standing at five-meter intervals along the path....

In this pre-calculus worksheet, students calculate the velocity of a linear graph by observing the slope of a line. There are 10 velocity questions.

In this functions worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 24 various types of problems. First, they complete the table with the correct distance for each hour given. Then, students enter the coordinate pairs into the function table...

Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

In this electricity worksheet, students answer 17 multiple choice questions about electricity, how it is measured, the types of currents, the types of meters and circuits. Students also answer multiple choice questions about protein...

Ninth graders investigate the order of operations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the rules of arithmetic and algebra as they review and practice simplifying increasingly complex numeric expressions using the order...

Students roll a ball down a plank and measure the distance it travels. Students graph the distances the ball travels as they change the height of the incline (increase slope).

Learners utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology lesson, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Learners measure the speed of the robots by running Robolab...
