Whatever floats your boat. Young engineers learn about density by measuring the masses and volumes of boxes filled with different materials. Using their knowledge of densities, they hypothesize whether objects with given densities will...

Fifth graders experiment using a Meniscus. In this volume lesson, 5th graders identify the volume of irregular objects using the process of water displacement. Students record data and draw conclusions.

Students measure volume using water displacement and mass using a balance. Once they have calculated these two values they will then calculate density while at the same time working on long division. After the activity and explanation of...

Students investigate the relationship between vectors and motion. In this geometry lesson, students create a system that exemplifies the principles of motion. They solve for the acceleration, velocity and displacement.

Students compare two cell phone providers and relate those concepts to motion. In this algebra activity, students identify the unknown in a problem using variables. They calculate the velocity, motion and displacement of different objects.

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Here is a lesson that rocks! Young scientists choose a rock and list words that describe it. They estimate the mass of their rocks and rank them within a group. They measure their rocks for volume and write a story that somehow includes...

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

In this math worksheet, students apply the following: In physics, the equation W=Fd gives the amount W of energy expended in moving a distance d by applying a constant force F.

Students explore the general form of the sine equation.  In this trigonometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the changing parameters and the graph of the sine equation.  Students use data and a statistical...

Students study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.

Students, after making quantitative and qualitative observations of their rocks, construct a Venn diagram or dichotomous key to classify their rocks.

Students examine a water bill from their household and examine it to find out how much water is used each month. They read their home water meters at the same time of the day for seven days and then construct a graph using their data.
