Twelfth graders examine illustrations and animations on a Physlets CD in which they must describe motion, analyze graphs, and calculate initial velocity. The Physlet assists in providing active class participation in discussion.

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 graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra instructional activity, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.

Students calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Students investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.

In this integral learning exercise, students estimate the definite integral and find the derivative of functions. They graph functions and determine the range of the velocity. This three-page learning exercise contains approximately 40...

Second graders measure, record, graph, and report changes in local weather using Navajo, Ute, and Spanish words for weather conditions. They record the weather results on a graph, and create drawings of weather conditions.

Students calculate the speed and length of parts of the robot. In this algebra lesson, students measure the length of robots legs. They calculate the time it takes the robot to travel a specific distance.

Students design and build their own cars. In this physics lesson, students test their car's speed and make changes when necessary. They graph data and analyze results.
