Learners engage in a basic lesson in elementary computer keyboarding. They review the home row and the location of letters. Also, they practice conditioning and speed.

Students discuss the weather conditions. They read thermometer, rain gauge, barometer, and wind direction and speed. They record observations of weather conditions and enter information into data base on the computer.

Pupils engage in a basic instructional activity in elementary computer keyboarding and using the period key. The drills can be done together as a class, following your oral instructions, or individually. Accuracy, not speed, is the main...

In this physical constants worksheet, students use fundamental physical constants of nature to determine "secondary" constants. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

Students describe and define chemical reactions. They design a laboratory experiment, collect data and analyze data.

In this addition to 18 learning exercise, 1st graders complete two sets of ten addition to 18 problems. This is meant to be a timed addition learning exercise.

In this earth science instructional activity, students check the accuracy of the weather forecasts in their area for a week. Then they complete the chart by recording the forecast for the week's weather and then recording the actual...

Find a way to work with rates. The 23rd part in a 29-part series presents work problems for the class to solve given work rates. Pupils compare rates to determine which is faster. Some problems require learners to convert the rates to...

How is the wind up there? The class builds a topography model using materials available in the classroom, then place wind flags in different locations on the landscape. Using a fan as a wind source, pupils collect data about how wind...

Boat safety lesson 18 is all about the wake board.  The class learns the terminology about wake boards and discusses the different types of ropes used. Much of the information regarding boating basics, personal floatation devices,...

Students are engaged in the introductory skills of playing tennis and develop the ability to overhead serve. They practice serving a ball over the net without a return being made. This is done to work on technique and speed of serving...

In this differentiation worksheet, students determine the seconds of motion, identify the constant, and speed of movement. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

An evaporation investigation! This collection of slides walks future scientists through the process of setting up an experiment on how to speed up evaporation. The experiment is simple enough to use at the beginning of the school...

Timed tests don't have to cause stress, they can be fun. To boost automaticity in solving the 3s times tables, this presentation is set up as a speed game. Learners will write out the answers as each 3s multiplication problem is...

Kids practice reading fluently with expression. They listen closely as their teacher reads a short paragraph, take note as she points out how she read each sentence, and then read along with her. They read to passage several times until...

How fast can your scholars complete 70 multiplication problems from the six times table? They only have to multiply by numbers 1-10, so there are many repeats. Consider setting a goal time or setting up a personal goal system for...

From a high-speed hand-washing lesson to identifying important nutrients in fruits and veggies, this resource has several activity ideas and worksheets for teaching food safety to your learners.

In this Hubble's law activity, students use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4 questions...

In this data corruption by high-energy particles, high schoolers solve 4 problems about the solar flare that corrupted the imagers measuring them. Students find the speed of the arriving particles and the percentage of light-speed the...

Students explore developing new skills. In this new skills activity, students identify skills they have mastered, skills they want to work on and realize that all students learn at a different speed.

Students view and analyze buoy, satellite, temperature vs depth data to study about ocean circulation and how is related to atmospheric circulation. They read and interpret satellite image data related to: Surface wind speeds, Wave...

Young scholars work in a team of two or three to create an egg-drop helmet. They design a container or helmet for carrying a fragile object at great speeds and determine which construction materials worked best .

Students explore slope.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Students use a motion detector to collect data as they walk at different...

For this reaction kinetics worksheet, students draw a graph of energy vs. reaction progress and determine the factors which change the speed of a reaction. Students learn about rate laws. This worksheet has 1 graph, 15 fill in the...
