Wind it up and let it go. Individuals build a basic spool racer in the second portion of a six-part unit on energy. After receiving three criteria, pupils modify their designs to meet the new challenge. Pairs compete against each other...

Teens often display potential energy in class and kinetic in the hallways. This third presentation covers the six types of energy, each in potential and kinetic form. It also covers the Law of Conservation of Energy and Einstein's...

An informative presentation covers motion, metric system, conversions, graphing of coordinates and lines, speed, velocity, and acceleration problems, as well as mean calculations. This is the first lesson in a 26-part series.

Blow classes away with a hands-on lesson investigating wind speed. Learners use common materials to design and construct anemometers. They then test their anemometers and collect data on the wind speed created by a fan.

For this time problems and dimensional analysis worksheet, students convert 10 problems from one unit of measurement to another using the process of dimensional analysis. They use conversion factors to solve for the unknown units.

In this measurement instructional activity, students write the unit and tool needed to find a given measurement. Students also convert 6 measurements.

Students examine how to convert sunlight to electricity.  In this renewable energy sources lesson students explain how solar cells are used and use a voltmeter to measure the energy produced by a solar panel.

Fall back and slow down. The fourth lesson in a six-part series on air traffic control leads the class to find the difference in distance traveled based upon the difference in speed. Pupils work through a problem related to walking...

Think you can solve the energy problem? You'll first need to know about current energy use. Analyzing a set of circle graphs lets scholars see where energy consumption is the greatest, both by sector and by household use. They develop a...

Students design a roller coaster and demonstrate their knowledge of Potential and Kinetic Energy. They determine the average velocity a given marble travels on their roller coaster and apply their knowledge of various measurement systems...

In this motion worksheet, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

In this chemistry worksheet, test takers answer 60 multiple choice questions on topics related to chemistry from balancing equations to calculating moles and molecules of compounds. They name formulas, they convert, they solve problems...

Students practice measuring the correct volume using micropipette. In this biology lesson, students determine the correct micropipette tip to use when transferring fluid. They convert metric volume from one unit to another.

In this measurement and converting worksheet, students solve ten problems using dimensional analysis to convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Students investigate their environment by completing an in-class experiment.  In this ecological instructional activity, students define the roles of dams and how electricity is created by them.  Students utilize plastic jugs,...

Students create friendship bracelets and quilt squares. In this plant lesson plan student dye their own string and cotton material with plant pigments. Students use the naturally dyed materials to create the friendship bracelets and...

Students investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the results...

Students compare the colloquial definition of temperature with the scientific definition. They, in groups, then explore the changes of water under different temperatures and calculate and compare their findings on three different...

In this auroras worksheet, students define 11 terms related to space phenomena such as auroras, coronal mass ejections and auroral ovals. Students use a given website to help them define the terms and they write a 500 word essay about...

Learners 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...

Young scholars participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

High schoolers calculate whether or not a mole of M&M's fill their high school. They practice factor-labeling, define a mole, and calculate the number of cubic feet per mole of M&M's. To answer the question they measure and...

In this scientific notation instructional activity, students convert numbers into correct scientific notation and give answers using the correct number of significant figures. This instructional activity has 6 problems to solve.

Students study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Students discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect wind speed...
