Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

Pupils practice chest and bounce passes with either basketballs or playground balls. They draw a card in order to determine which skill to practice.

Young scholars perform dribbling activities using a basketball. In this dribbling lesson, students dribble a basketball according to the poly spot number that they land on. This lesson uses kinesthetics to gain knowledge of counting.

Mia teaches Sam how to create a bar graph, including forming a title, creating and labeling the axes, choosing a scale, and entering data. After viewing, data analysts can test themselves with seven follow-up questions and review...

Using footballs, basketballs, tennis balls, and more, learners conduct experiments to illustrate Newton's Laws of Motion.  The experiments are conducted outside, and require them to throw, kick, and hit a variety of balls. Your...

Pupils discuss ways to test the bounciness of different balls. In this physics instructional activity, students measure how high each one bounce. They record data and compare results.

Do the "Space Jam" dance! A dance that is made up of basketball skills movements, such as: dribbling, defending with hands up, pivoting, shooting, and slam dunks. The dance step descriptions are very well written out with cues for...

Using a data collection device to collect data regarding a bouncing ball, students use various features on graphing calculators to experiment with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the...

In this science experiment worksheet, students mix borax, custard powder (pudding mix?), glue and water to make a bouncy ball. Students carry out bouncing and stretching investigations.

Students attempt to dribble the basketball in a predetermined sequence. After practicing several dribbling techniques, the game begins. This process should emulate the Jingle Bells song set music.

Young scholars discover how the coefficient of restitution is applied to sports by measuring the bounciness of a ball. After examining the mathematical equation that applies to coefficient of restitution, students go to the gym, measure...

Students develop hand and ey coordination. The focus is upon handling a ball. This could be helpful for practice for sports like basketball or volleyball. This helps with repetition to develop muscle memory and visual or spatial ability.

Students review the basketball skills learned in class and are challenged to perform specific skills to the beat of the music.

Twenty-One is a basketball game of skill practice. Most of the practice happens to be shooting baskets from the free-throw line. Three to five players are at a basket, and the rules are simple to follow. When a player makes a shot from...

Students sing and participate in doing a melodic and rhythmic activity to be introduced to their teacher and each other.

Students practice passing skills in a team setting using basketbal chest pass, basketball bounce pass, inside of the foot soccer pass.

Students reinforce and review dribbling skills taught in previous class lessons and compare their ability to dribble with different types of balls.

Students practice their hand dribbling control.

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Young scholars predict the path of a ball bouncing off an object. In this physics activity, students conduct the rolling ball experiment to test their prediction. They perform several trials for accuracy.

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.

A nine-page physics resource supports your lesson on acceleration. A step-by-step lesson plan walks you through the materials you need, the background information, steps for leading experimentation, and the explanation of the results....

High schoolers analyze the vertex form of a parabola and find an approximate fit of a model. They explain the quadratic parabola function and its properties by developing quadratic models. They use translation and dilation to change the...

Sorting fractions, integers, decimals and square roots into sequential order is an active process when you use a gym as your setting. After your class is divided into two groups and provided with number cards, they compete to see who can...
