Students design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. In this physics activity, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results and...

Students explore the different features of a roller coaster using an interactive website. In this physical science lesson, students explain the role of science to make this thrill ride possible. They develop a creative presentation about...

Students research about different human space explorations conducted by NASA. In this physical science lesson, students discuss why space exploration is important. They write a paper about their thoughts on continuing NASA's space...

High schoolers measure angles of refraction as the light travels through gelatin.  In this experimental lesson students complete a refraction lab and plot their data.

Students identify the challenges encountered by astronauts in operating a planetary rover. For this space science lesson, students create a rover using their team members. They follow a command sequence from the driver and navigate...

In this compound word worksheet, learners join words to complete each task. Students complete 12 compound words choosing one word from the first column and one word from the second column to write the new word on the lines provided.

Here, learners review telling time using an analog clock. They use a clock to tell time, make a paper clock, and discuss the concept of elapsed time. However, the lesson is not always easy to follow, nor are the questions clear.

Upper elementary meteorologists take a glance at what a hurricane is and how it is formed. Because this does not get into the differences in air pressure that drive the associated winds, it may not be useful for older learners. The...

Students discuss and view examples of acceleration. They work together to determine acceleration rates in two ways. They analyze their data and discuss.

In this math problem solving worksheet, 6th graders complete word problems regarding distance traveled. Students complete 15 problems total on this worksheet.

In this line graph activity, students use a line graph showing distance traveled to answer a set of 4 related questions. Answers are included on page 2.

In this variables in experiments worksheet, students read about control variables and experimental variables before they respond to 15 graphic organizer and short answer questions.

Young scholars distinguish between walking, jogging and running trackways in humans. They analyze the phylogenetic progression of the leg position as described by pace width and angulation, comparing amphibians, reptiles and mammals....

Students investigate graphing a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

Students use their knowledge to crash a comet into Jupiter or make a comet fly past the planet without colliding with it.

Students multiply integers.  In this multiplying integers instructional activity, students multiply positive and negative integers.  Students discuss that a positives times positives, positives times negatives, and negatives...

Students are told that the weight of a car is equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. When a car is at react on a horizontal road, there must be a normal force with which the road pushes up on the car to keep it...

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...

Pupils explain that mass times velocity equals momentum. They investigate the impacts of collisions and their results and determine the vector of an incident.

Students observe a demonstration of light refraction. They experiment with disappearing crystals to further study light refraction.

Students keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. To keep track of the weather, students utilyze weather reports and instuments such as anemometers, compasses, thermometers and rain gauges.

Students keep detailed weather records during the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. They compare weather conditions to the days they do and do not see monarchs. As a class, they graph and analyze data and send it to a university...

In this planets worksheet, students fill out a chart where they fill in the distance each planet is from the Earth, and how much travel time in years and hours it would take to get there. Students do this for 8 planets.

Learners examine the movement of plate tectonics. In this lesson on the spreading of the seafloor, students use maps and models to observe how the sea floor spreads.
