Displacement is a foundational concept for physics pupils. If they are having trouble discerning it from distance, this activity can help clear things up. The first page is essentially a piece of graph paper. It has a compass rose and a...

There's no way around it—learners must use trigonometry to model the line of sight around a race track! Using the starting line as the origin, pupils model the straight line distance to any car using a trigonometric expression. The...

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  In this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Students explore the similarities and differences between ocean mammals and fish. The characteristics of the life forms observed are placed onto a graph. The classroom becomes the botom of the sea and is explored to gain the required data.

Pupils detect the waveform of musical notes to determine the code for the "safe" in this forensics simulation lesson plan. They use a microphone and tuning forks along with Vernier EasyData on their graphing calculator to analyze five...

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Pupils complete a variety of bear-related activities. They sort and graph teddy bears, distinguish between real and non-real bears and research bear life cycles and habitats.

This lesson entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

Students use math to help them discover the movement of a pendulum.

Students are able to transcribe to scale the plant features of a common landscape. They determine true north and south and collect and record data on a table. Students calculate a rating for and describe a definition of insulation and...

The resource examines the basic math skills needed for studying physics. Some topics include units, scientific notation, significant digits, and trigonometry. Example problems, graphs, and a chapter quiz are included.
