Whale Fast Food Conversions

In this rates and slopes worksheet, students solve 2 problems where they find the rate corresponding to the speed of the galaxies in a Hubble diagram for galaxies and they calculate the rate of the sunspot number change between indicated...

Every year, the moon moves 3.8 cm farther from Earth. In the 11th part of 22, classes use the distance formula. They determine the distance to the moon based upon given data and then graph Galileo spacecraft data to determine its movement.

In this science worksheet, students create a race track and mark each distance as stated. Then they perform each task and record the time it takes them for each. Students also record their data from the experiment into the chart...

Young geologists get a glimpse beneath the earth's surface in this plate tectonics investigation. After first learning about the different layers of the earth and the constant movement of its plates, young...

How can kids use math to learn about marine life? Combine math skills with science lessons in a resource featuring activities about life in the sea. Kids graph and calculate data, solve complex word problems, measure geometric shapes,...

Why are rates of reaction so important? Discover the answer to this, and many other questions, through a video from JFR Science. Pupils examine how, through the balanced chemical equation and experimentation, they can determine how fast...

Students study the Manduca bug and its growth data. They look for patterns and compare their own growth rate to that of the Manduca.

Middle schoolers calculate the rates of feeding for the average baleen whale, and compare the energy requirements of whales with humans.

Students calculate the calories in a Brazil nut and the calories needed for daily intake. For this calories lesson plan, students use calorimetry to measure the change in water temperature heated by the burning of a Brazil nut. They also...

Speed is a type of rate. Have you ever been asked to define the term speed? If so, you would probably answer, "how fast an object is moving." More specifically, speed is the distance an object travels in a given amount of time. This...
