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 lesson. 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...

Middle school geologists map the volcanoes closest to themselves, learn about map distortion, and infer possible future volcano locations. A focus on latitude, longitude, and volcanoes beneath the ocean helps connect the lesson. 

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...

In this Kelvin temperature scale worksheet, high schoolers 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 learning exercise, 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.
