Young scholars improve fitness, calculating target heart rates, and prepare for the mile run physical fitness test.

Seventh graders gather data on heart rate during exercise and at rest in three different positions. They compute male and female averages for each different heart rate and graph each and draw conclusions based upon the data about the...

Students record reaction time data and calculate minimum, maximum, mean, median, and mode. They participate in a class reaction time activity, observe and conduct an online experiment, and discuss and analyze the activity results.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the rate or time using the appropriate units.    The one page worksheet contains a combination of six multiple choice and free response questions.  Answers...

Students participate in a hands-on activity in which they observe the effect of temperature on the rate of chemical reactions. Using Alka Seltzer tablets in different temperatures of water, they record the amount of time it takes each...

In this rates and ratios worksheet, students write proportions to match the given problem. They determine unit rates for a given situation. This two-page worksheet contains 4 problems. Answers are provided on the last page.

Students study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur.  In this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create a graph...

In this rates and ratio worksheet, students determine the ratio for a given situation. They use proportions to solve problems. This two-page worksheet contains 4 multi-step problems. Answers are provided on the last page.

With a partner, youngsters measure their pulse and breathing rates, both at rest and after running in place for a minute. While this activity is not novel, the lesson plan includes a large-scale classroom graphing activity and other...

Putting glow sticks in the freezer makes them last longer, but why is that? Lesson focuses on how temperature impacts the rate of a chemical reaction. It begins with a teacher demonstration, then scholars design their own experiments...

Learners discover how to use the knowledge of unit rates to understand equivalent ratios and solve real-world problems. They are given word problems to solve using equivalent ratios. Tables are also covered in this resource.

What is heart rate? What is pulse? How do you find a heart rate by taking a pulse? What determines a person's heart rate? Will heart rate increase by doing some activity? Does exercising regularly strengthen the heart muscle? Take a look...

The concept of slope gets an approachable, yet theoretical, treatment in a comprehensive algebra lesson. The use of functional notation and problem-solving techniques keep the material rigorous, but detailed teaching notes and lots of...

If mathematicians know the secret to compound interest, why aren't more of them rich? Young mathematicians explore compound interest with exponential functions in the twenty-seventh installment of a 35-part module. They calculate future...

In this ratios, rates and percentages worksheet, 6th graders solve 16 different types of problems that include writing each ratio as a decimal and a fraction in lowest terms as a percent. They also arrange numbers in ascending order and...

Students calculate unit rates with fractions and whole numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students compare numbers, perform long division, and calculate the rate of different units through conversions. They model some of...

Students calculate the rate of change. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and discuss the different properties of lines as they relate to rate. A discuss doubling time, zero slope and being in two places at once.

Do animals breathe faster when given more oxygen or more carbon dioxide? Young scientists observe the respiration rates of locusts under a variety of gas concentrations to answer that very question. They collect data, analyze the...

Math and medicine go hand-in-hand. After viewing several infographics on historical adult obesity rates, pupils consider how they have changed over time. They then use percentages to create a new graph and write a list of questions the...
