A nine-page physics resource supports your lesson on acceleration. A step-by-step lesson plan walks you through the materials you need, the background information, steps for leading experimentation, and the explanation of the results....

Talk about technology in the classroom. This plan has all the resources needed to create a non-linear or branching story. Included is a step-by-step tutorial that walks middle schoolers through the project description, a model of a...

Young scholars discover the relationship between force and acceleration in a skateboard experiment. In small groups, they attach a spring balance to a skateboard and pull a group member across the floor using a constant amount of force....

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Students explore the concept of acceleration. They determine the acceleration rate of a roller-blader and graph the results.

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

In this math worksheet, students divide fractions. Fractions are single digit fractions, both the numerator and denominator are single digits. Students use the method they have learned in class to perform the computation.

Fourth graders examine the use of curriculum compacting when learning math concepts. In this curriculum compacting lesson, 4th graders complete a math assessment before deciding on which compacting activities they will do to master the...

High schoolers distinguish between the centripetal and centrifugal forces.

Learners learn how to identify cell addresses, format cell contents, add pop-up comments to a cell, and also apply conditional formatting. They use clues and words to make a geometry crossword puzzle pertaining to geometrical shapes.

Students create a standard outline, using a word processing tool, while they are learning about the basic writing device of the 5 paragraph essay.

Students using visual modeling software will construct two regular pentagrams which are mathematically similar. They also create a multi-page document and learn to create links between the pages and to a website on the History of...

Learners use an animation program plan and create a short animation movie showing what they have learned in math or any other curriculum area.

Students calculate effects of gravitational force on planets, discuss the effects of weightlessness on the human body and describe and demonstrate how objects in a state of free fall are accelerated by gravity at an equal rate.

Students use compacting when learning spelling words. For this spelling lesson, students take a pre-test on their weekly spelling words. Students who score 100% are exempt from spelling and those who miss 0-2 words compact their studying...

In this universal gravitation worksheet, learners answer thirteen questions using the equation for universal gravitation, and force equals mass times acceleration.

Third graders become familiar with the poetry of Issa. In this haiku lesson, 3rd graders recognize the format of a haiku and learn about the life of Issa (the poet) through focused questions, vocabulary and reading responses. Students...

Students read about the life of Jim Thorpe and answer focus lessons about the book.  In this Jim Thorpe lesson plan, students celebrate the American Indian culture and learn of the hardships Jim Thorpe overcame.  Students find...

In this mind-bending activity, young engineers explore this question of whether or not light actually bends. Using holographic diffraction gratings, groups design and build a spectrograph. The groups then move on research a problem...

Tenth graders identify the parts and functions of the cell. In this series of science lessons, 10th graders investigate crystal formation in covalent compounds. They investigate the factors affecting reaction rates.

Students see that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate, as established experimentally by Galileo. They see that falling objects, and balls rolling down an incline, tend to accelerate at a constant rate a. Their velocity...

Students investigate past winter Olympic games utilizing any skiing or snowboarding event to take Newton's Challenge. Helpful Web resources are provided and students enjoy learning science laws along with researching Olympic events.

Students practice their reading comprehension skills. In this reading skills lesson, students use the R.E.A.C.T.I.O.N. model to identify story elements in books that students elect to read independently.

Third graders read more trade books. They increase difficulty level of trade books read. Students read chapter books. They read nonfiction selections. Students take a test over each book on Accelerated Reader.
