Sixth graders understand properties and behavior of heat, light, and sound. They describe the production of sound in terms of vibration of objects that create vibrations in other materials. Students describe how sound is made from...

In this linear motion worksheet, students answer 9 questions about velocity, acceleration and position of objects. They solve problems for acceleration and velocity and they interpret graphs of velocity vs. time, acceleration vs. time...

Students investigate density using film canisters filled with different density materials and larger objects of varying density. In this density lesson plan, students discuss the concept of density and rank film containers from dense to...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations lesson, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with describing two...

Learners discuss "How can we measure (or make it easier to record) the speed, distance or acceleration of the balloon?" They told that they are going to make a balloon racetrack. Pupils use meter sticks to accurately measure length and...

In this azimuth and altitude worksheet, students answer fifteen questions about measurements of objects in the sky using a compass and an inclinometer.

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts instructional activity, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve...

Students practice with various objects for throwing and catching (one per each group of 3 students); four poly spots or other markers such as cones for each group.

Learners experiment with light and shadow. In this light lesson, students look at the relationship between shadows and light. They experiment with light source, shadow size, transparent objects and reflective objects. 

Students compute area.  In this perimeter, area and volume lesson, students examine given objects and determine the perimeter, area, and volume of each. 

Young scholars calculate pi using data on the circumference and diameter of various objects. They define key vocabulary terms, measure the circumference and diameter of various circular objects, organize the data on a table or chart,...

In this linear motion worksheet, students answer 12 questions about acceleration, velocity and distance traveled. They interpret diagrams and indicate the location of an object if it has positive, negative or no acceleration. They...

In this momentum worksheet, high schoolers answer 17 questions about momentum of objects. They calculate momentum given mass and distance traveled in a given amount of time and they use graphs of position vs. time to find momentum.

Young scholars identify the different objects that orbit Saturn. In this space science lesson, students plot the graph of orbital speed and distance. They explain why planets and asteroids remain in orbit around the sun.

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of cookie dough and...

In this Newton's Second Law worksheet, learners answer 13 questions about force, mass and acceleration. They calculate weight, force, masses and acceleration of objects.

Ninth graders examine the rate of motion and changes in motion using a ramp and a rolling object. They conduct the demonstration, determine the average speed, and describe how a moving object can have zero acceleration and deceleration.

Students identify attributes in real-life objects and models of solids and connect these attributes to characteristics of shapes such as circles, triangles, squares, and other rectangles. They discuss the ability of the object to roll,...

In this energy worksheet, learners determine how much work a person an object does, the potential energy of an object, the amount of power being exerted on an object. This worksheet has 16 word problems.

Learners discover what types of objects reflect and absorb light. In this science inquiry activity, students use flashlights to determine whether different objects absorb or reflect light.

Fifth graders demonstrate the ability to use scientific skills and Processes to describe forces that act upon objects to cause specific changes in motion. They identify and describe a science problem related to forces and simple machines.

Students define the concept of classification. In groups, they categorize a series of objects into categories they identify. As a class, they participate in a variety of activities to examine the concept of natural selection. To end...

In this motion problem worksheet, students read story problems, write equations, and determine the speed, distance or time objects travel. They determine when two objects, traveling in opposite directions, meet, This three-page...

In this metric system worksheet, students convert from the English system of measurement for mass to the metric system of measurement. They also convert measurements of mass within the metric system and explain how to measure an object...
