While this lesson focuses on a study of the Hudson River, it could be used as a template for a discussion of map skills, converting measurements, and plotting a route. The lesson includes vocabulary and other resources to make it a...

It's just a sign of the times. Given a billboard with distances and travel times to two different interstate highway junctions, learners determine the speed limit. They must incorporate the concepts of distance, rate, and time with that...

Students practice estimating distances by analyzing a map. For this length measurement lesson, students view a map with a distance key and use their measurement skills to estimate the distance between two cities. Students utilize an...

Students create a scaled solar system model using colorful beads. In this space science lesson, students convert AU units into metric measurements. They arrange the planets according to their distances from the sun.

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.

In this planets in space instructional activity, high schoolers calculate their weight on the 9 planets plus calculate the distance of the planets from the sun in astronomical units. This instructional activity has 6 fill in the blank...

In this earthquake worksheet, students determine the distance of the epicenter based on the S-waves and P-waves on a seismograph. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

Students explore the idea of parallax. In this astronomy lesson, students study the distances of stars. They investigate how parallax can be used to determine these distances.

Students practice throwing for distance and for accuracy.

Learners explore how astronauts might measure distances in space.  In this timeline lesson students create a timeline and then demonstrate the concept "distance in space equals distance in time."

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

In this Earth worksheet, students respond to 5 different questions related to the Earth and its atmosphere. First, they determine the distance from Earth to the Sun and the distance across Earth. Then, students explain how long one...
