Sixth graders explore the concept of density as a relationship of an object's mass to its volume. Densities of a variety of objects are compared and used to identify an unknown object.

In this acceleration instructional activity, students solve 14 problems including finding work done on an object, the speed of an object, the distance traveled and the acceleration.

Learners discuss "How can we measure (or make it easier to record) the speed, distance or acceleration of the balloon?" They told that they are going to make a balloon racetrack. Pupils use meter sticks to accurately measure length and...

In this electricity learning exercise, students answer 17 questions about charges on atoms, their number of protons and electrons, the attraction of atoms or objects when charged, the electricity between two objects, grounding and...

Sixth graders understand properties and behavior of heat, light, and sound. They describe the production of sound in terms of vibration of objects that create vibrations in other materials. Students describe how sound is made from...

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....

Students discover the elements and subjects of haiku poetry. They observe and describe the objects in a landscape painting. They write a haiku based on the feelings evoked by the painting.

Students practice with various objects for throwing and catching (one per each group of 3 students); four poly spots or other markers such as cones for each group.

In this linear motion worksheet, students answer 9 questions about velocity, acceleration and position of objects. They solve problems for acceleration and velocity and they interpret graphs of velocity vs. time, acceleration vs. time...

For this momentum worksheet, students answer 17 questions about momentum of objects. They calculate momentum given mass and distance traveled in a given amount of time and they use graphs of position vs. time to find momentum.

For this azimuth and altitude worksheet, learners answer fifteen questions about measurements of objects in the sky using a compass and an inclinometer.

In this linear motion learning exercise, students answer 12 questions about displacement, velocity, and acceleration. They solve problems for acceleration, displacement and velocity and show the equations they used to find the solutions....

Students identify the different objects that orbit Saturn. In this space science instructional activity, students plot the graph of orbital speed and distance. They explain why planets and asteroids remain in orbit around the sun.

In this classifying worksheet, students are given 8 rows of illustrations of animals. Students try out various ways to organize the animals in a classification system following the directions. They try a 2 groups system and a 3-5 group...

In this linear motion worksheet, students answer 12 questions about acceleration, velocity and distance traveled. They interpret diagrams and indicate the location of an object if it has positive, negative or no acceleration. They...
