Learners analyze information in two-way tables to find distances and travel times, answer questions involving total journey times, practice calculating average speeds, and examine fuel consumption of cars, mileage allowance, and fuel...

In this graphing worksheet, students determine the speed vs. time and acceleration vs. time plots based on the velocity vs. time graph given. Students complete 2 graphs.

Students research physical science by completing worksheets. In this gravity lesson, students read assigned text regarding the rotation of Earth and the gravitational force caused by the speed of which it rotates. Students complete a...

Raise the energy level of your physical science class with this exciting hands-on activity. Applying their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy and Newton's laws of motion, young engineers use foam tubing and marbles to create...

Fifth graders investigate how to find the average and the concept of a per unit quantity and its applications. They also make connections of using population density and how to find the speed with its relating formula. This is bringing...

Students perform experiments to explore differences in wind speed and forest density. Through experimentation and observation, students realize that changes in vegetation affect the atmosphere and wind conditions. They create a model...

In the precalculus worksheet, students compute vectors and angle directions from given equations. They read and interpret information from three word problems to determine direction, speed, and the velocity vector in navigation problems.

Students study about deriving centripetal acceleration for motion at constant speed around a circle.

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 examine a powerful tool that can be used in the study of motion. They use VideoPoint to measure an aspect of an organism's motion: speed, acceleration, center of mass.

In this solar storm learning exercise, students use images of a solar tsunami to determine the size and speed of the wave. This learning exercise has 5 problems to solve.

Students define and discus the concepts of wave fronts and rays. In groups, they distinguish between specular and diffuse reflections and use Snell's Law to predict the path of light rays. They calculate the speed of light through...

Learners learn to sing the song, "Hanky Panky" accurately and are able to properly participate doing the motions while singing. They are also able to keep the beat of the song and speed up and slow down the tempo.

Fifth graders experimentally determine the relationship of friction to the functioning of machines. They demonstrate that rollers can decrease frictional force and increase speed and research to discover other ways that friction can be...

Students explore the size of our Universe by understanding how long it takes to travel around from object to object in it - even if you travel at the speed of light! In making our exploration, we will examine ways of measuring distance,...

Second graders evaluate different animals. For this animal parts lesson, 2nd graders create a game that compares animals based on five concepts- attack, defend, agility, speed and size.

In this distance worksheet, students calculate the angular size or angular diameter of objects at a given distance. This worksheet has 6 problems to solve.

Young scholars track wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, and precipitation for a month using a newspaper. They chart the data over a months time.

Students explore a variety of Internet sites provided to provide tools to speed up their net experiences. The lesson was originally written for librarians with little or no net experiences.

Second graders examine the properties of liquids and their classifications. They compare and contrast cups of different liquids and record their findings in journals. Students observe how liquids flow at various speeds and that unlike...

Students explore productivity and quality in the classroom. They demonstrate the importance of quality and productivity using sheets of paper. In addition, they discuss what can happen when quality is traded for speed.
