Students measure oxygen percentages in room air and air exhaled after they perform various activities. They explore various websites, and record and analyze the data from the experiments.

Math and science come alive in this career-related lesson on sanitation. Along the way, learners explore bacterial growth rates using exponential notation and graphs. A link to a very brief, but vivid video shows just how quickly these...

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

Linear, quadratic, and now cubic functions can model real-life patterns. High schoolers create cubic regression equations to model different scenarios. They then use the regression equations to make predictions.

When complicated algebraic expressions are involved, it is sometimes easier to use a table or graph to model a context. The exercises in this lesson are designed for business applications and require complex algebraic...

In this SI units worksheet, students read about converting from SI units to non-SI units. They are given a conversion chart and they use it to convert from one unit of measurement to another in seven problems.

In this ions worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the missing names or symbols for positive and negative ions.

In this alkanes activity, students use a data table to plot a graph of boiling point against the number of carbon atoms. They also define cracking and double bonds. This activity has five short answer questions.

Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...

Seventh graders discuss water issues and its affect on salmon population. They recreate a sampling river with fish (cheddar) and scoop them to tag them (which means they exchange them for pretzel fish.) They complete a spreadsheet to...

Students explore the Dollper effect by finding the frequency and velocity of sound.  In this velocity lesson, students determine the impulse during a collision by using their data and a software program.

Students analyze distance and graphing. In this geometry lesson, students work problems on a coordinate grid calculating the distance. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to their data and answer.

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

Students discover plant chemical processes through three lab activities. Overheads, data sheets, and teaching procedures provided for the unit covering photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

We would be lost without maps! How are they made? Introduce junior topographers to LIDAR technology with a fascinating activity. Set up a mock city, then have learners operate a laser measure to determine the shape of the landscape using...

Food companies understand how to use math to their advantage. Learners explore the math related to the packaging and serving size of yogurt. They then use unit analysis and percent values to make decisions on the product development.

Explore the center of gravity with your science class as they create a deadfall trap with common materials. They research the concepts of energy conservation and gravitational force before dividing into small groups to create a model of...

Students collect data on running speeds of various individuals in class to determine the average running speed for a distance of 20 meters.

Eighth graders create solutions with 5 different densities. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders analyze the density of solutions stacked on top of each other. They document their data through graphing. This assignment requires 4 class...

Students identify the relationship between relations and functions. For this algebra lesson, students investigate and find the slope of a line using a graph, 2 points and an equation. They calculate the slope from a set a data points...

A fabulous four-page assignment explores volume formulae for rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids. Pupils apply the formulas to solve problems, match diagrams to values, and address real-world scenarios. A detailed answer...

Learners view two PowerPoints and practice computing the area and circumference of circles. They must use given formulas to make their computations. The lesson includes links to both PowerPoints as well as a worksheet (with answer key).

Youngsters review different geometric figures and shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, pupils use formulas to calculate area, perimeter, circumference and volume of geometric shapes. They calculate the surface area also.
