Average Teacher Resources

Learners study cosmetic safety issues and concerns raised by advocacy groups. They create a cosmetic safety brochure designed for the average consumer, to create awareness about cosmetic safety concerns.

Ninth graders research local geography to create successful, ecological school landscaping. They determine soil type, average weather patterns and temperature graphs and use the information to select ideal plants and plant maintenance...

High schoolers study phenology, or the study of climate change. They research the Japanese springtime festival of Hanami and plot and interpret average cherry blossom bloom date data from the past 1100 years.

Students research how water is used to generate electricity. They investigate water's potential-to-kinetic energy transfer in hands-on activities about falling water and waterwheels. They take measurements, calculate averages and graph...

Students examine how the sun's intensity affects the temperature on various planets. They determine whether or not these planets could be habitable. Finally, they factor in the average albedo of the planets to determine whether or not...

Young scholars develop the key concepts of total, variable, fixed, average and marginal costs. The theory of using different business scenarios is applied to different situations for an extension to real life application.

Pupils determine the average speed of a toy car as it travels six different distances set up by Students. Three trials are done for each distance. The only requirements is that the longest distance must be at least three times longer...

Students identify protists under a microscope, and using a stopwatch calculate the speed of a protist from a pond water sample. They use distance and time to identify the speed of a protist, and create a distance versus time graph to...

Students examine how the value of an item may be different for different people and investigate how perceived value helps determine the price of items in the marketplace. They list what they consider to be the most valuable items in the...

Young scholars discuss heroic behavior of individuals from the Holocaust. They examine early civilizations and their contributions to the foundations of human culture. They recognize that heroic behavior (just like discrimination) is...

Fourth graders examine the required combinations of plates and predict which combination will generate the most and least current and voltage. They use an ammeter and experiment with combinations of their own testing and record each...

Learners participate in a cemetery scavenger hunt and determine the average life span during a specific time period. The information for the project relates to the specific historic time period they are investigating.

Students compares the density and distribution differences of four species of spiders in two hypothetical habitats. They "sample" two habitats and then do calculations such as average density and relative distributions to compare the...

Students explore about the structure of Earth's atmosphere and about the stratospheric ozone. They discuss how it is produced and destroyed, where it is located, why it is important, and how it is changing. Students investigate about...

Learners grow plants in soil representing that found in the Amazon basin. They compare results to plants growing in fertile soil and soil fertilized with leaf compost. Students chart, average and graph plant growth by height. Learners...

Pupils Use data sets from MY NASA DATA to produce graphs comparing monthly and yearly ozone averages of several U.S. cities. They analyze and evaluate the data and predict trends based on the data. In addition, they discuss and describe...

In this human reproduction worksheet, students use references to assist them in responding to the questions on the menstrual cycle. They explain what is the menarche and the average length of the menstrual cycle. Students also name the...

In this physics review worksheet, students compare average and instantaneous speed, review Newton's laws, electricity, and magnets. This worksheet has 12 fill in the blank, 8 short answer questions, and 6 problems to solve.

In this isotopes worksheet, students calculate an average atomic mass of specific elements. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

Fifth graders roll different sized cans down an inclined ramp in order to determine if the contents of a can affect the speed at which is rolls. In this physics lesson, 5th graders work in small groups to send each can down the ramp...

Students charts the rainfall averages on either side of a mountain range. In this water cycle instructional activity, students discover that mountain ranges affect weather patterns. Students pretend they are air traffic...

In this mental math worksheet, students complete a 6 question multiple choice online interactive activity without using pencil, paper or calculator. Included are word problems, multiple operations, averaging, and basic arithmetic.

Young scholars experiment with the velocity of a spring. In this velocity lesson, students conduct trials in order to determine the initial velocity of a spring. They stretch the spring different amounts and fire it both horizontally and...

Learners complete several activities that have to do with aging.  In this body changes lesson students take group averages, measure flexibility and see their changes over time.
