Students record and examine migration data, and calculate how fast and far a migrating animal travels and what influences its progression. They utilize the Journey North website to follow their migrating animals.

In this quadratic system worksheet, students solve systems of linear equations. This one-page worksheet contains two story problems where students write their own system of equations and then solve. The remaining eight problems are...

Students perform experiments on a Promethean Board and will identify and use stages of the inquiry process. Students will be in instructed in the use of a Promethean board, will practice and eventually perform experiment on their own.

In this math worksheet, students find how a 1 kg bucket filled with 10 kg of water is lifted 10 m into the air. They set up an integral which gives the total amount of work done on the bucket and the water used for lifting it.

Students explore the respiration rate of a mealworm. Through experimental means, they determine the average volume of oxygen used and discuss factors that affect the respiration rate of an organism.

In this math worksheet, students define the details of a definite integral and how it is used. They also apply math to physics to compute how work for lift is calculated.

In this forces worksheet, students practice writing net force equations and solving for acceleration and distance objects travel in different situations. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this watering soil learning exercise, students complete a simple activity, following directions to use a watering can to sprinkle, pour slowly, then pour "faster" onto soil and write about what they notice. Teacher guide is on page 2.

Students explore concept of acceleration and motion under the influence of gravity, starting with free fall and ending with motions that start out with both horizontal and vertical initial velocities.

Students simulate the role of a travel agent to understand how to read and use road maps. They plan a bus trip through New England for a group of travelers that includes, bus travel, meals and attractions. They plan the distance that...

In this quadratic applications worksheet, students complete graphs, charts, comparison charts, and more having to do with quadratic equations. Students complete 5 different activities.

Students study the basics of parachuting.  In this flight and aerodynamics lesson students make a simple parachute and investigate different variables that can cause potential problems.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Eighth graders who have studied all of the organ systems now discover how they all are related and work together in the human body. They discuss a variety of situations in which more than one system plays a part. They identify the...

Students, in groups, design and construct an air car capable of acceleration. They view a video on acceleration, test their cars and make adjustments as desired.

Students learn that speed is a function of time and distance, a quadratic equation can be used to figure out the path of fireworks, a photographer can use Algebra to figure out how many rolls he can afford if he needs twice as much of...

For this math worksheet, students define the sets of vectors. They also observe the concept of area for the parallelogram and how vectors are used.

Students design a fitness trail which incorporates warm-up, aerobic, and cool-down phases. Each student develops their own plan and monitors their own progress through the use of an exercise log.

Students (pirates) sit on a scooter (pirate ship). Two students are called 'Crackens' sit on their own ships. Crackens use a swim noodle (tentacle) to gently tag the pirates. Students began the game with the ROAR of the Cracken and they...

Students participate in a "Pirates of the Caribbean" tag game to demonstrate scooter skills and safety techniques. Students identify and discuss scooter safety rules, then play a tag game with each student (pirate) on a scooter, with...

Students simulate how the Moon causes ocean tides. In this earth science lesson plan, students calculate gravitational acceleration using a mathematical formula. They compare the force of attraction between the Earth, Moon and Sun system.

Fourth graders participate in a Rock Cycle game to gain an understanding of the cycles that form metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks.

Students learn the importance of caring for eggs as they hatch chickens. In this egg hatching lesson, students observe what happens when eggs are hatched into chickens by completing a e-worksheet and watching a web based movie.
