Learners label a diagram of the Earth rotating about the sun and indicate the direction of the rotation and the seasons at each location. They indicate the seasons, the poles, the hours of daylight at each pole, the direction of rotation...

Take your time with this activity. Junior engineers read about different types of clocks and then work together to build a pendulum time-keeper. There are no hints as to how they might go about accomplishing this complex task, so you may...

Could you determine longitude based on measuring time? Early explorers used a longitude clock to do just that. Scholars learn about early exploration and the importance of the invention of the clock. Then pupils build their own longitude...

Learners complete a science experiment to study the role of night and day on sleep patterns. In this sleep patterns lesson, students brainstorm about night and day and the causes for the rotations on Earth. Learners work in groups to...

In this Kelvin temperature scale worksheet, students solve 6 problems using the equations for the conversion of Centigrade to Fahrenheit and Kelvin to Centigrade. They convert between Fahrenheit and Kelvins and Centigrade and Kelvins.

In this temperature conversions worksheet, students are given the equations to convert from one unit of temperature to the other. They solve four problems using these equations.

When will we need to know Einstein's Theory of Relativity in real life? Every single time you use a cell phone, GPS, or watch satellite TV. When a satellite is sent into space without accounting for relativity, problems immediately arise...

The night sky is filled with stars in every direction. But, is there anything around those stars ... like planets? Explore the galaxy in a search for other worlds with an engaging video. Topics include the methods used for locating...

For this electrical circuit worksheet, students answer a series of 18 open-ended questions about analog to digital converter circuits. They analyze schematics in order to answer the questions. Students design and build an analog to...

Students study the basic methods for finding one's position on Earth. Latitude can be deduced from the height above the horizon of the pole star or of the noontime Sun, while longitude requires an accurate clock giving universal time.
