High schoolers participate in the "Iditarod" sled race. In this Iditarod lesson, students build their own sleds and pull their classmates to checkpoints. They use mushing terms and get timed to see how fast they go.  

Students incorporate technology into the classroom as they investigate force and motion. In this science lesson, students construct a glider to be able to safely take a banana to the ground without dropping it. They investigate flight,...

Learners experiment with velocity, ratios, and rates. In this data management lesson, students throw a dart with and without using an atlatl and collect and record various data. Learners construct ratios based on the data and determine...

Eighth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  In this eight grade math/science lesson, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose the...

In this line graph worksheet, students use a line graph showing distance traveled to answer a set of 4 related questions. Answers are included on page 2.

In this algebra worksheet, students find the inverse of an equations. They graph their solutions and analyze it. There are 8 questions.

Students research and locate earthquake epicenters on a map using latitude and longitude. They determine if the depth of an earthquake has any relationship to the distance from a plate boundary.

Learners are involved in a cooperative learning environment that analyzes fractions, ratios to time and distance, equivalent fractions and numerical relationships and expressions in quantitative problems. They take notes, relate...

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

In this motion worksheet, students will read 8 statements about displacement and velocity and determine if the statement is true or false. Then students will fill in the blank for 8 statements on motion. Finally, students will compare...

In this math test practice worksheet, students complete a total of 10 problems using a variety of concepts. Page has links to answers and additional activities.

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Third graders fly miniature airplanes to discover characteristics related to velocity and average speed. After measuring the time and distance of their flights, 3rd graders calculate the average velocity of their planes.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve a problem posed by Lewis Carroll involving rate, time and distance.  The one page worksheet contains one problem with the solution. 

Students solve problems using implicit differentiation. For this calculus lesson, students take the derivative to calculate the rate of change. They observe two robots and draw conclusion from the data collected on the two robots.

Students build and program a Lego Mindstorms Roverbot to travel for a given amount of time. They gather data on time versus distance traveled to determine a calibration constant for their robot, which relates time to distance.

In this Algebra II learning exercise, 11th graders examine models whose behavior can be described by a linear function.  The four page learning exercise contains explanation of topic, three guided problems, and eight practice...

In this math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems that regarding division of 2,3, and 4-digit numbers. Students may view the correct answers.

Students explore visosity of matter. They run tests of various liquid substances to observe and compare rates of flow of different substances. In addition, they relate viscosity to distance travelled by sample substances.

Students practice estimating distance traveled while walking. Also can be used to introduce backpacking/hiking or as a daily warm-up. Measure the blacktop/cafeteria/playground, then determine how many times around make a mile.

Students study paper airplanes. In this lesson on aerodynamics, students print out the folding directions for making paper airplanes and after making the planes test their paper airplanes to see how well each flies. Students weigh...

Students see that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate, as established experimentally by Galileo. They see that falling objects, and balls rolling down an incline, tend to accelerate at a constant rate a. Their velocity...

Students discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.

Pupils solve equations using the quadratic formula. In this quadratic equations lesson, students use digital cameras to film pupils jumping and import film clips into a computer. Students use the data in the quadratic formula presented...
