In this problem solving with multiplication and division learning exercise, students interactively answer 10 multiple choice questions, then click to check their answers.

Young scholars explore how the energy flow through a system is related to trophic levels. They investigate how organisms affect the cycling of elements and water through the biosphere. Students participate in lab activities to observe...

Students calculate cubic feet of water and rate of flow, given the formulas for volume, rate of flow and specific dimensions. Students use symbolic forms to represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures. Students use...

Learners investigate work and power. In this energy lesson, students use the scientific method process to explore how much work and power it takes for a person to climb a stair case.

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

In this mathematical modeling activity, students answer two essay questions. They describe Newton's Law of Cooling by describing and constructing a model and answering seven essay questions about the process.

Students compare the records of gold medal Olympic winners for the last 100 years and decide if we are faster, stronger than in the past.

Students label the names, relative temperature, distribution, and direction of flow of major ocean currents on a world map. They also explore and model the natural forces that affect the movement of ocean currents through demonstrations...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables lesson. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms. Finally, they write...

In this speed worksheet, students create time vs. distance graphs to answer questions about average speed, average velocity, and acceleration. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

In this speed worksheet, students use dominoes to measure the average speed of rows falling over. Students make a line graph to show the relationship between the length of the domino row and the time. Students answer 8 questions about...

The Fitness Walking Class unit is well-organized, and you could use the skeleton of this unit to organize your own Fitness Walking Class. Use pedometers to keep track of steps, write in journals, and get other people to walk with you....

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics lesson, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric system.

Learners calculate the speed of an object, by measuring the amount of time it takes to cover a given distance, and then divide: speed=distance/time. However, the object may not have been moving at a constant rate over the given distance....

Help learners understand the benefits of rearranging a formula. Scholars practice rearranging formulas for specific variables. They also analyze formulas to understand one variable's effect on the other. 

Young scholars calculate distance and proportion of objects. In this algebra lesson, students define proportion and how it is used in math. They solve the problem through guided instruction.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve distance-rate-time word problems.  The one page worksheet contains a combination of eight multiple choice and free response problems.  Answers are provided. 

Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Weighted averages can be tricky to explain! However, this study guide makes it easy for teachers by including definitions, explanations, and breaking down problems into three steps. Includes mixture problems and uniform motion problems.

High schoolers solve uniform motion problems using formula d = rt.

Students collect data and analyze it using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students identify different bodies of water and relate the flowing to math. They collect data on the rate of flow and the height of flow. They analyze the data...

In this physics activity, students examine a single wave pulse which travels down a slinky. Then they sketch a single ring of the slinky as the wave goes by and determine whether the wave is constant or not.

Students investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.
