In this nebula worksheet, learners read about the Crab Nebula and calculate the average speed of the expanding gas. They determine the size of the smallest clumps of gas and they draw the diameter of the solar system to scale.

In this speed of a galaxy learning exercise, students use a given equation for the speed of an object and they use the spectral lines for Hydrogen Alpha and Beta from the Seyfert galaxy to answer 6 questions. They determine the observed...

Seventh graders review graphing procedures and practice locating points using x,y coordinates. Students calculate the areas of the top and bottom surfaces of the airfoil. They construct a test model of the airfoil.

Seventh-graders solve 20 various types of problems related to ratio and rate. They write ratios in simplest form for each given statement, to compare the area of two figures, and write two ratios equivalent to each ratio. Pupils express...

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

In this rotation of celestial bodies instructional activity, students determine the speed of the sun's rotation and they determine the number of days it takes the sun to rotate once at the equator. They identify the geometric factor that...

In this energy in empty space worksheet, students use an equation for Cosmic Inflation to solve eight problems. They find the domain and range of the function of the equation, they determinethe axis of symmetry, they find the critical...

Students explore measuring tools by calculating heights and lengths of random objects. In this distance measurement lesson, students utilize the Internet service MapQuest to measure the distance between their current towns and many other...

Young scholars describe the different units of measurement. In this space science lesson plan, students calculate astronomical distances using a scale. They explain the significance of using scientific notation in expressing very...

High schoolers solve five problems including finding the cross sectional area of two bodies, determining the swept out volume of a moving body, finding the average particle volume of a body and determining the collision time for a body.

In this single variable equations worksheet, high schoolers solve 5 problems using different equations to solve for one unknown. They use Hubble's Law to find the velocity of a galaxy knowing the distance it travels.

Young scholars identify real world problems from given story problems. In this story problem lesson, students find places, events or items in the school environment that can be used to create story problems. Young scholars take a picture...
