This is a stellar overview of everything light and quantum! There are 30 multiple choice questions, none of them requiring any mathematical computation. There are a few diagrams to analyze: light rays striking reflective and refractive...

In this solids worksheet, students identify the characteristics of solids. They name solids and determine the number of faces. This three-page worksheet contains seventeen problems. Answers are listed on the last page.

Don't let your classes get stuck on area calculations—grab their attention with an inquiry-based lesson! Scholars must develop a plan to determine how may sticky notes it takes to cover the surface of a door. They decide on the...

So a cylinder does not have to look like a can? By expanding upon the precise definition of a rectangular prism, the instructional activity develops the definition of a general cylinder. Scholars continue on to develop a...

Here is a full-fledged investigation of light waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and element spectra. Physicists research a scientist that contributed to our understanding of the behavior of light. They take notes on your lecture, and...

In this volume of solids worksheet, tenth graders solve and complete 20 various types of problems. First, they write the formula needed to find the volume of each solid. Then, pupils use the Pythagorean theorem to find the measure of the...

In this solids worksheet, students identify true statements that match a given solid. They identify parallel lines. This two-page worksheet contains four problems. Answers are listed on the last page.

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

In this math study guide, students solve problems previously studied throughout the school year. Problems include, but are not limited to, volume, area, perimeter, square roots, binomials, trinomials, graphing, and consumer math. This...

In this volume learning exercise, students observe diagrams and extrapolate the correct items to plug into a formula for volume. They find the volume of triangular prisms, cylinders, cones, rectangular prisms, and rectangular pyramids. ...

Students investigate the components of white light as viewed through a prism. The multiple colors of the spectrum produced are related to wavelengths and experienced through the creation of a color wheel.

Which item is shaped like a cone? Give students a chance to compare shapes, determining which item represents the prompted shape or figure (and which don't). Through 4 multiple-choice questions, scholars identify a cone, a cube, a...

In this prisms worksheet, students identify the number of faces in a prism.  They locate the parallel edges.  Students determine the names of prisms.  This two-page worksheet contains 3 problems.  Answers are...

In this three dimensional geometry crossword, students explore terminology in fifteen crossword problems.  A word bank and solutions are provided.

For this finding patterns in pyramids and prisms worksheet, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.

Accompanying the lesson at www.shodor.org, this worksheet present students with a series of questions about the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism and a triangular prism. Students predict how these values would change if the...

Students participate in a research project that is exclusively using the internet. The author states that traditional labs are hard to conduct for a light lab. This one uses the internet with the intention that students can manipulate...

In this cylinder, spheres, and prisms worksheet, students identify given shapes as one of the above. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Eighth graders engage in hands-on activities to determine the surface areas of various objects. Using boxes, they cut them so they can lay flat and measure all the various shapes, which can be calculated and added together to equal the...

This lesson contains the following labs: Rainbows, Refraction with Prisms, and What Color Is It? Students will study light by reading various nonfiction texts and viewing a video lesson. Then students will engage in the following labs:...

[Accessible by TX Educators. Free Registration/Login Required] The student will use models to develop formulas and connect them to the volume of prisms, spheres, cylinders, pyramids, and cones.

Extensive site for teachers provides some helpful resources that pertain to plant and animal cells. Includes a microscope diagram as well as plant, animal and pond labs. Also contains links to structures and mechanisms, matter and...
