Verify the rule of thumb for finding the time of death. The project-based learning task asks pupils to determine when the rule of thumb process of finding the time of death is appropriate. Learners develop a function for the rule and...

Students estimate and compare temperature using degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and create mini temperature posters and answer questions about temperature.

In this Celsius instructional activity, students review the Celsius scale and then mark temperatures for the first thermometer. Students then study the temperatures on the thermometers and write the temperatures.

In this temperature scales learning exercise, students are given the equations to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius and from Celsius to Fahrenheit. They apply to equations and convert given temperatures.

Students explore Boyle's Law. In this Boyle's Law lesson, students complete problems involving Boyle's Law. They examine the effects of Boyle's Law upon the human body. Students use the Internet to complete a lab activity.

In this temperature conversions worksheet, students are given the equations to convert from one unit of temperature to the other. They solve four problems using these equations.

In this measuring temperature, Celsius, worksheet, students study, analyze and discuss how temperature tells us how hot or cold something is. Students measure the Celsius degrees of five temperatures.

Fifth graders conduct various measurement activities on themselves and a partner. They measure their height, weight, thumb-to-pinky span, and body temperature, recording the information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

In this math activity, students solve the differential equations. They also investigate Newton's Law of Cooling. Then they consider the temperature of different substances like coffee.

In this mixed math practice activity, 1st graders complete 8 problems. They continue patterns, work with simple fractions, complete a number sentences, complete patterns, and color in thermometers to show the given temperatures.

Students solve the mystery of dead Mr. Potato Head using physics and algebra. They discuss Newton's Law of cooling as it applies to the mystery scenario involving a cooling baked potato as the "victim". They manipulate algebraic...

As part of an investigation of transformations of exponential functions, class members use Newton's Law of Cooling as an exponential model to determine temperature based on varying aspects. The resource makes comparisons between...

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Learners measure their body. For this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group. 

In this radiation and temperature worksheet, students use 2 methods to derive the Wein Displacement law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a body to the frequency where the Planck curve's value is at its maximum....

In this detecting dwarf planets activity, high schoolers read about the Webb Space Telescope that will be launched in 2014 to detect dwarf planets using an infrared telescope. Students solve 3 problems and create a graph for each using...

Third graders read the story, Magic Schoolbus Inside the Human Body. Then they form right, acute, and obtuse angles using the joints inside their bodies. They write a brief summary about what they learned about angles as a review the...

Students research real-time and historic temperature data of U.S. and world locations, and analyze the data using mean, median, and mode averages. They graph the data and draw conclusions by analyzing the data. A spreadsheet is used to...

Students map and calculate the area of the school parking lot and then the volume of water falling on the school parking lot. They map the route surface runoff will take to the nearest water body and describe the roles that human...

Does Newton's Law of Cooling have anything to do with apples? Scholars apply Newton's Law of Cooling to solve problems in the 29th installment of a 35-part module. Now that they have knowledge of logarithms, they can determine the decay...

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

Students explain and learn the practical application of standard deviation. They compare cities in the U.S. and discover whether cities closer to the ocean have more consistent temperatures. Useful resources are given.

Fifth graders use captured portions of the Internet ("mininets") to perform research into climate. They create graphs of the data recorded using latitude as the independent variable and temperature as the dependent variable.

In this direct and inverse variation worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include various situations in variations. First, they find the constant of proportionality when given each variable measure. Then, students...
