Students determine velocity using the slope of a time distance graph. They investigate a motion cart using a CBR unit and a TI 83 calculator setup. Using the graph generated, they calculate velocity.

Students discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

Students collect data for a runner by measuring the time it takes for the runner to run equal distances. After collecting data, students average speeds and accelerations for the runner. Assignment is completed by graphing the data.

In this geometric coordinates worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they use the equations provided to complete the table on the right. Then, students plot the x- and y- coordinates on the graph to...

Middle schoolers draw a map from memory describing the route between their classroom and the gym including a legend, a compass rose, a map scale, symbols, and a landmark at every change of direction. They then retrace their steps in...

Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Students, in small groups, research Eratosthenes and his calculations of the Earth's radius. They write a summary of the person, the experiments and his calculations to determine how accurate Eratosthenes was in his estimations of the...

Students gain experience in asking questions and conducting inquiry by exploring the separation of colors in water and other solvents; to communicate and share findings of student investigations.

Students create a video of an object falling with a drag. In this physics lesson, students calculate drag coefficient using data from Logger Pro. They calculate velocity and acceleration of the object.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

Seventh graders investigate the concept of looking at the data put in a variety of ways that could include graphs or data sets. They analyze data critically in order to formulate some sound conclusions based on real data. Students graph...

Students track an ozone event in Groton, CT. They compare weather changes and the subsequent ozone levels. Also, they make comparisons and determinations about ozone levels.

Students analyze energy efficiency in lighting by visiting eight different classroom stations, determine cost vs. light output, graph their results, and answer questions on worksheet.

Students use Hudson River salinity data to create a line graph that shows the location of the salt front, and use math skills to explore how this location varies over time. They use the graph to estimate the location of the salt front...

Young scholars examine how water affects the community of Braintree. Using a map, they locate main resevoirs and rivers in the area and research the history of one of the resevoirs. They use charts and graphs to show how land use has...

Students recognize that the other eight known planets, which revolve around the Sun, have characteristics and surface conditions that are different from Earth; and identify examples of those differences.

Third graders examine the concept of work as the movement of an object through a distance. They define gravity and determine what type of work is caused by gravity. They measure how far an object is moved by a force. They make a...

Students discuss definitions of estuary, salinity, and the salt front. They listen as the teacher explains the Hudson River Miles and ways the upriver and downriver sections relate to the north and south. Students graph the salt front...

In this precalculus worksheet, 12th graders find the solutions to the parametric equations and practice with the help of a graphing calculator.

Second graders track weather patterns through the school year. They take daily readings and record them in a weather book.

Students experiment with magnets to determine the distances at which they attract and repel each other.

Eighth graders complete labs using toy trucks to study deceleration, record thier data, and then transfer it to graphing software to produce a graph. They create a lab report of the completed lab using a word processing program.

Eighth graders examine the difference between speed, velocity and acceleration.  In this velocity lesson students read and construct a line graph and a bar graph to show information about velocities of sports activities.
