Students investigate the planets in our solar system. They conduct research using a variety of resources in order for students to make cognitive connections with the demonstrations made by the teacher. Students discover how to recognize...

Students study Mars and other plants in the night sky. In a planetarium setting using Digitarium planetarium system, students identify the Big Dipper and Polaris. They explore the major differences between the planets and the stars. ...

Learners build a map of the Atlantic Ocean floor and mark the different depths.  For this ocean floor lesson students identify parts of the ocean floor that they created and discuss patterns that they see.

Fifth graders study the components and function of the nervous system. They investigate how engineers design biomedical equipment to assist the nervous system and explain how the five senses are affected during spaceflight.

Learners discover the faults throughout the Earth. They describe the different types of faults and how they are related to earthquakes. They build models of the faults.

Pupils review horizontal and vertical shifts of a parabola and how they effect a specific quadratic formula. They play a basketball review game in which they try to find the right quadratic equation for a given problem in order to earn...

Students practice calculating the moment of inertia when discussing a skater and the position in which it is best to spin. After class discussion, students practice calculating inertia on their own.

Students discover the Archimedes principle through a buoyancy experiment. They measure the water displacement of a lump a clay which is denser than water then reshape the clay into a bowl which floats but displaces more water.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Students view the Amnesty Interactive CD-ROM and investigate different aspects of human rights around the world. They identify people who have contributed to human rights, documents from ancient to modern times that have contributed to...

Students, in groups, build and decorate rocket kits and then launch them.

Students participate in a game about copy cats. They follow an adult leader as they perform positive and negative behaviors. They are to react only to the positives.

Students come up with ideas to help friendly, superintelligent space aliens adapt to this environment.

Students observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Students apply inquiry and problem solving approaches in science. They design a device (invention) that solves a special problem.

For this English worksheet, students read " Philippine President Faces Impeachment," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

A clear explanation of Newton's First Law of Motion, the law of inertia, with diagrams and real-world examples. Useful for both students and teachers. Written by a high school physics teacher.

This resource provides a discussion of Newton's Laws of Motion.

Learn more about finding acceleration through the practices found in this lesson. "The process of determining the acceleration of an object demands that the mass and the net force are known." Check out this comprehensive site.

Step-by-step illustrated instructions showing how to drop four eggs into four cups without touching them. Demonstrates the concept of inertia according to Newton's first law of motion.

This is part of a lesson on Newton's Laws of Motion that focuses on inertia and mass. It restates Newton's first law of motion. The lesson also gives a helpful visual description concerning friction.

A demonstration that will grab students' attention to learn about Bernoulli's principle and Newton's Laws of Motion.

Introduce students to the ideas of motion and force in this hands-on lesson plan.

This activity provides learners an opportunity to investigate Newton's first law by observing inertia in a variety of experiments. Students will hypothesize on possible outcomes, write observations of what has happened, and apply...
