Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson plan students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Students determine velocity using the slope of a time distance graph. They investigate a motion cart using a CBR unit and a TI 83 calculator setup. Using the graph generated, they calculate velocity.

Students study about deriving centripetal acceleration for motion at constant speed around a circle.

Students explore uniform circular motion, and the relation of its frequency of N revolutions/sec with the peripheral velocity v and with the rotation period T. They examine how uniform circular motion is a type of accelerated motion.

Learners create a time line of scientists involved with E = mc2. They describe experiments that led to an understanding of energy, mass, the speed of light squared, and the equivalence of mass and energy. Students relate challenges...

Student perform an experiment in which they determine the velocity of ion flow in an electrotonic potential and compare it to the velocity of action potentials. They record and analyze their results.

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...

In this calculus worksheet, students answer compute the distance of an object from a given point after t seconds when given the formula. They use the chain rule to answer 2 questions. Students compute the derivatives and sketch a graph...

Middle schoolers trace sailing route of Spanish and Portuguese exploration ships. They calculate and compare distances that different explorers traveled. Students calculate how long it would take to travel an explorer's route using...

High schoolers gain an understanding of Kepler's 2nd law--that planets (and satellites) move fastest at their closest approach to the center of attraction, and slow down when far away. They explore the concepts of "potential energy" and...

Tenth graders devise a computational model to explore how the orbit of the Earth might change if its velocity were different. Using accurately recorded data, 10th graders defend a scientific argument.

Students observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

Learners identify and interpret maps, graphs, charts, tables and political cartoons. Students identify what a compass rose is and review its meaning in relation to standard directions. Learners design their own weathervanes. Students...

In this math worksheet, students analyze a path around a circle. The interval is defined. Students sketch a graph of a given parametric curve. Five application problems give students practice using these concepts in real life situations.

Middle schoolers examine the effects of variables. They view a video which introduces the concepts, take part in an internet-based activity, then engage in a hands-on activity which allows them to practice what they have been studying.

Students design an Aerogel model to capture clay particles. In this space science lesson, students discover what happens to comets as they hit a surface. They explain how the Aerogel technology would help scientists study comets better.

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

Sixth graders explore the uses of a trundle wheel. In this units of measurement lesson, 6th graders use trundle wheels to measure distances.

Students calculate acceleration due to gravity.

Students observe a demonstration of light refraction. They experiment with disappearing crystals to further study light refraction.

Young scholars discuss the conservation of momentum in a collision between two bumper cars. They are given the equation for momentum. Students then solve problems using the equation for momentum.

In this 3rd grade science worksheet, 3rd graders complete a total of 25 multiple choice questions related to grade 3 concepts. An answer key is given.

In this differentiation in space math worksheet, students use 6 different equations to solve 6 problems that involve differentiation related to astrophysics.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite a word problem using algebraic symbols. They calculate the distance flown before the impact of the two objects occurs. An answer key is provided.
