In this Hubble telescope worksheet, students solve 4 problems about the image of the distant planet the Hubble telescope discovered. Students determine the distance the planet was from its star in 2006, they determine the planet's...

In this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

Get the ball rolling with this upper-elementary science unit on forces and motion. Offering over three weeks of physical science lessons, this resource is a great way to engage the class in learning about simple machines, friction,...

The product of the hard work is learning. Scholars use a simulation tool to collect information to analyze. They must decide when two ships traveling back and forth across a river at different rates will meet on the same side. The intent...

You don't want to leave any learners stranded! Explore ratios using an analysis of gas mileage and distance. Given a scenario, individuals must determine if a car has enough gas to make it to the next gas stop.

This is integral to the test. Pupils realize that every question in the released free-response items from the 2008 AP® Calculus exam Form B requires integration. By reviewing the additional resources, scholars learn how important it is...

Take another look at the exam. A set of questions is a different form for the 2004 AP® Calculus BC free-response question section. The questions are evenly split into calculator and non-calculator sections. Pupils use their knowledge of...

Students build parachutes for chicken eggs. In this physics lesson plan, students describe the forces acting on a falling object. They predict which of the three parachute models they made has the best chance of keeping the egg intact...

Students apply what they recall about objects in motion by animati ng sequences of pictures that model a set of physical conditions. They animate the orbital motions of the Earth, the space shuttle, and the Moon based on calculations of...

In this atoms worksheet, students determine the velocity, wavelength, power, and frequency of given atoms. Student describe wave-particle duality and give the principle and angular quantum numbers for given orbitals. This worksheet has...

In this physics unit 8 worksheet, students construct a qualitative motion map as it relates to centripetal force of a described scenario. Students respond to questions as it relates to acceleration and the magnitude of the centripetal...

Students examine troposphere graphs and mcompare their hypotheses with data collected by weather balloons launched from the NOAA ship, Ronald H. Brown. they write summaries about the physical properties of the troposphere.

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

In this graphing worksheet, students use velocity vs. time graphs to create speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Students create 24 graphs.

In this average, mode and median learning exercise, students learn how to determine each of these values and practice finding all three. They are given a table of different falcon flight speeds and they calculate the average, mode and...

Young scholars investigate the concepts of gravity and force. In this forces and energy lesson plan, students construct a luge track to be used to test the speed of various objects sliding along its surface.

Students participate in a bowling game for accuracy, speed and cardiovascular exercise. In this bowling aerobics instructional activity, students race in teams to underhand throw a bowling ball accurately. Students calculate their points...

Students make a wind vane, anemometer, wind spiral, and wind streamer to calculate wind movement. In this wind lesson plan, students test each of their wind instruments, and graph the results of the wind speed in different locations.

Students investigate integers and solve problems using integers. For this algebra lesson, students solve problems to help improve speed and accuracy of mental math. They develop a deeper knowledge of the way integers are used on a daily...

Students investigate the sport of skiing through Internet research in this multi-task lesson. They compare and generalize the results of five individuals by using mean, median, and mode.

First graders listen to prerecorded sounds and put them into categories. They discus the sounds that would be heard outdoors, and indoors. They go outside for a few minutes and take a "hearing walk." Then they come inside and close their...

Students, in hands-on activities, explore how a dump truck might be made to negatively accelerate or slow down. They participate in activities using friction force to modify the truck-and-ramp system. Student groups test ideas for...

Students create an anemometer, an instrument that measures wind speed.

Students investigate speed, time and distance. In this algebra lesson, students utilize their knowledge of linear equations to solve problems related to time, speed and distance. This assignment is hands on using two toy race cars.
