What does viscosity have to do with splatter? An activity shows that the viscosity of a substance is inversely proportional to the distance of its splatter. Learners conduct the experiment by collecting data, graphing, and analyzing...

Young learners explore motion graphs in this lesson. They investigate distance-time plots as they move in a specific way in front of the CBR in an attempt to make a motion plot that matches a given plot. Pupils explore the connections...

Middle schoolers explore distance-time plots. In this algebra lesson, they will investigate how different types of motion affect the distance-time plot.

In this math worksheet, students will work in a group to experiment with the weight of objects when placed at a distance from a scale (using a plank). Students will record and graph their results.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II learning exercise, learners solve quadratic equations by graphing and by taking the square root of both sides.  The two page learning exercise contains a combination five multiple choice and free...

Learners match a given velocity graph and sketch the corresponding position graph using a graphing calculator. After collecting data from their everyday life, students use specific functions on their calculators to create graphs and...

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.

Young scholars define area and perimeter. They demonstrate understanding of the concepts concretely, with manipulatives, and describe with words, their strategies and thought processes.

Students create and or modify a plane to have the longest duration and/or flight distance, then record the flight and distance and repeat the activity for three flights Using calculators, students find the average of their three flights.

Students simulate radioactive decay and nuclear power using an on line interactive web site. In this on line lesson plan, students monitor radioactive isotopes and record the activity of a particular element as the decay progresses. They...

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...

What is the most popular way to get to school? Have students interview their peers to discover how and when they get to school. Then learners will graph the results. Consider providing statistics from other classes for your older...

Second graders will track the weather patterns throughout the school year. This project spans the school year and takes five minutes per day or less. Measuring, data collection, and predictions are all explored throughout this relevant...

Students research and find the route of the Alaskan dog sled race.In this Iditarod race lesson students find the checkpoints for the Iditarod on a map. Students research information in pairs about each one of the checkpoints. Students...

Plumb the depths of the Submarine Ring of Fire and explore seismic waves with this lesson. Junior geologists simulate s-waves and p-waves, calculate their speeds, and then apply the data to discover the material that makes up inner...

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this instructional activity, where young scholars crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of...

Students explore pi. In this circle measurement activity, students define and identify radius, diameter, circumference, and perimeter. Students work in groups to measure several plastic lids and record their findings. Students compare...

Students explore distance a toy car travels by changing the amount of batteries used to power the toy car.  In this force and motion lesson, students calculate the average speed of a car while investigating the power from various...

Young scholars explore the relationship between time traveled, distance and speed.  For this solar race car lesson students wire solar batteries using series and parallel circuitry. 

How many right triangles can you find in a prism, cone, or pyramid? Using right triangles to find lengths in three-dimensional figures is the focus of the lesson. After working with the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side...

Young scholars participate in a lesson that investigates Newton's Second Law of Motion. They conduct an experiment of observing balls that are rolled down a ramp. The lesson includes background information for the teacher for preparation...

Explore parametric equations in this instructional activity, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path...

Use this resource to present your number crunchers with how to write a constraint equation and to determine viable solutions. The price of an object limits the amount that can be purchased. The speed at which you walk limits the number...
