Aspiring astronomers study stars. They compare stars and explain the relationship between radius, mass, and diameter. By creating a star simulation, they discover how a binary star system's orbit can cause changes in the observed...

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

In this gamma-ray worksheet, students read about the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory and how it measures the invisible lumps in space. Students solve 3 problems using an equation to determine the time that gamma-rays travel in space and the...

In this points, lines and planes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 9 various types of problems. First, they name the planes that intersect a figure shown. Then, students determine the points that are collinear and coplanar in...

Students use the slopes of various curves plotted on log-log graph paper to classify stellar objects as binary stars, supernovae, or active galaxies.The data used in this lesson were obtained from X-ray astronomy satellites.

students construct the graph of the Witch of Agnesi, and investigate both its asymptotes and inflection points. They construct the graph of the Witch of Agnesi and conjecture the asymptotes and inflection points of the function. ...

Physical science starters play with a pendulum in order to experience periodicity. Detailed procedures and a worksheet are included for day one. For day two, learners will use a graphing calculator to help them plot orbit data from a...

Students manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "exponent" format of scientific notation.

Students after completing the Part II (of 2) scientific notation online lab exercises, manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "mantissa and exponent" format of scientific notation.

Third graders review the effects of gravity on how objects move. In groups, they design a roller coaster and share it with their classmates. Using materials given to them, they build their roller coaster and let a ball roll on the...

In this solar storm energy and pie graphs instructional activity, students solve 5 problems using pie graphs that show the amount of solar energy that is converted into radiation, kinetic energy, flare energy and flare energy that is...

Your young learners will enjoy having quick access to this reference sheet that includes a multiplication chart, formulas for perimeter, area, and volume, place value chart, fraction chart, basic types of polygons, triangles and lines...

In this subtraction worksheet, young scholars solve a set of 6 simple word problems about a robot who has eaten items;students determine "how many are left."

In this math worksheet, students sketch the regions that give rise to the integrals. Then rewrite them as double integrals with the integration order reversed.

For this math worksheet, learners investigate different types of functions and coordinate systems. They review that when integrating a function over a region in the plane using polar coordinates, a “magical” factor of r appears in the...

Fifth graders plot out points on grid paper which correspond with the ordered pairs they are given. If done correctly, the points form a word.
