Students investigate earthquakes by examining chart data.   In this disasters lesson, students identify the waves that are recorded when an earthquake arises by reading sample graphs in class.  Students participate in an...

In this differentiation worksheet, students calculate the first and second order derivatives and use implicit differentiation to solve 4 questions with multiple parts.

In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus worksheet, students solve and graph rational equations, identifying the intercepts and asymptotes. The six page worksheet contains nine problems. Answers are not provided.

Students solve problems using implicit differentiation. In this calculus lesson plan, students take the derivative to calculate the rate of change. They observe two robots and draw conclusion from the data collected on the two robots.

Students, after studying various pages of a NASA Web-based textbook, use dimensional analysis to verify actual aeronautic equations.

Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Students use heart rate monitors and complete a swimming and running test. These tests allow students to obtain personal data, to manipulate the data through calculations of various parameters, and to graphically represent the data.

High schoolers solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.

Students set up a stream table, observe erosion, and record data on where various sizes of sediments settle. They draw conclusions as to what kind of sedimentary rock form in what locations.

Ninth graders use maps to identify landscape regions and drainage patterns producing the Black River. They create PowerPoint presentations pertaining to the Black River watershed, its geologic history and highlighting safe rafting...

Twelfth graders complete a unit of lessons on derivatives as they are applied to motion. They observe and discuss demonstrations, conduct an experiment involving a motion sensor, graph and analyze the results, and summarize their findings.

Students participate in an exercise/experiment designed to show how environmental pollution can affect the quality of drinking water.

Students show that energy is conserved in the laboratory. They calculate the work done by a force on an object as the product of the force and a displacement of the object from a reference point.

Students drill and practice putting problems into vector form. They draw each problem before trying to solve them. Students draw arrows for any vector quantities to indicate magnitude and direction.

Students explore gravitational force. Through experimentation, students observe the acceleration of objects when they fall. They examine air resistance, and how the human body is attracted to the earth. Students discover the...

Students use the equation to calculate the vertical distance an object fall during 1 second in 1/10 second increments. (The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth=a= 9.8 m/s2) Using a graphing calculator, students plot the path of a...

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

Students explore projectile motion and kinematics in two dimensions. They determine, using an adjustable projectile launcher, what angle makes a projectile go the highest.

Students investigate the law of gravity and how an object can accelerate while going through a free fall. They examine the influence of air resistance and how it can influence the momentum of an object. The lesson contains background...

Students explore linear relationships. The lesson uses science to develop an understanding of the expanding Universe. There are 3 Labs, only 2 of which are required. Lab C is an enrichment for higher level classes.

Students investigate with radio waves that are used to remotely sense the topography beneath the ice sheet. They experiment with travel time of waves and convert data to distance and depth. As a result, they develop a profile of the...

Learners experience a guided inquiry into the workings of an ultrasonic motion detector. They are led to study something they cannot see, hear, feel or taste. Students design strategies to avoid becoming prey of the predatory "Batzilla."

In this math worksheet, students examine how the moment of a force about a point is defined. They look at the 2 problems to define the information contained in them.

In this math worksheet, students discuss the natural frequency ω0 of the system and how it is the number of oscillations of the spring in 2π units of time.
