Learners are introduced to mapping by crossover frequency. Genes travel as packaged trains on chromosomes. They use this experiment, genetic mapping assignment, that allow students to quickly complete the assignment and yet examine the...

Pupils explore data collection in this lesson. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.

Seventh graders examine the area of medieval Sub-Saharan Africa through eyes of travelers in the company of one of history's greatest travelers, Ibn Battuta. The project has been structured to include all the State standards for this unit.

Students identify sources and importance of sound, discuss sounds heard on way to school, explain why sound waves can be "seen", and participate in various classroom activities and experiments that illustrate how sound travels.

Students work with a real optical spectrum of a gamma ray burst afterglow taken at the Keck Observatory. They measure the shifts of spectral lines, deduce the velocity of the astronomical object, and then use Hubble's Law to get its...

Eighth graders analyze physical change in mass. In this chemistry instructional activity, 8th graders describe, measure and calculate the amount of physical change occurring in mass before and after the change. Students should be...

Students explore expression in artwork. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students travel to ancient Egypt to examine abstract art of the Nile River valley through several hands-on activities.

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.

In this solar tsunami instructional activity, students are given three images of the progress of a Morton Wave on the sun. They solve six problems using the images to find the radius of the sun's disk, the scale of the image, and the...

Students explore echos and how they are utilised in navigation.  In this sound lesson students calculate the amount of time between a sound and its echo.

How have horses evolved over time? How do horse skulls reveal this evolution? How have the roles horses play changed over time? What kind of social structure do horse herds have? How should wild horse populations be managed? To find the...

Students read about kid's sports, why it is important and discuss the factors affecting young players. In this kid's sports lesson plan, students create a list explaining why kid's don't participate.  Students create a test to...

Students design a train route using a topographical map. In this historical and spatial thinking lesson plan, students must plan a route through the Sierra Nevada mountains that a train could physically travel. Links to printable student...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments using...

Pupils examine the phenomenon of sounds traveling slower than light. They discover why they see things before they hear them and how to estimate the speed of sound as homework.

Pupils design and launch their own rockets.  In this experimental instructional activity students launch their own rockets and record the various angles and distance that they go.  Each student has time to redesign their rocket...

In this acceleration worksheet, students are given an explanation of the constant acceleration of a roller coaster as it travels up, down and around. Students calculate the acceleration of a roller coaster given its original velocity,...

Lead your class on a speedy journey as you present an effective lesson on kinematics. Individuals review speed, acceleration, and velocity before completing several practice problems to integrate the concepts. 

Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

In this velocity and acceleration worksheet, students determine the distance walked and the displacement of a person who walks 15 m west and 20 m east. Then they determine the resultant velocity of a bicyclist who rides 10 km/h west and...

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.

Students use a paper plate for a variety of P.E. activities. They can use the paper plates for an aerobics routine at home.

Learners spread out in their own personal space within a play area. They respond to different kinds of commands to play the game related to different ways of cooking eggs. This looks like lots of fun.

Students develop a deeper understanding of the role that Indiana played in the Underground Railroad while exploring Indiana Geography.
