In this hydrate worksheet, students find the formula of an unknown salt by determining the mass of water in the heated compound. Students burn off the water and record data to establish the final mass and formula of the hydrate.

Students estimate the area of states using the formulas for the areas of rectangles, squares, and triangles. In this geometric shapes lesson, students divide irregular shaped states into shapes. They use the formulas for areas of...

A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world...

Learners utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...

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.

Students examine the relationship between circumference and diameter and how to use the formula to find the area of a circle.  In this circle lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity. 

Students investigate how to make a good parachute. In this physics instructional activity, students observe the motion of parachutes as it falls and measure the time. They collect data and calculate the average descent time for each...
