Students differentiate the properties of longitudinal and transverse waves. In this physics lesson, students calculate CEENBoT's rate of propagation by measuring its frequency and distance per cycle. They use a mathematical formula...

Inthis distance/rate/time worksheet, learners compute the length of time it takes Jaime to lap her brother when they run the same track and start at the same time.

During a walk-a-thon your learners must determine the walking rate of Julianna's progress. Using tables, graphs, and an equation, they must be able to calculate the time it took her to walk one mile and predict her distance based on the...

Your mathematician's job is to explore the relationship between hours and miles walked during a walk-a-thon. The activity compels your learners to experiment with different means in finding out this proportional relationship. The answer...

In this motion activity, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

In preparation for solar car races, middle schoolers attempt to discover what time of day the most solar energy can be collected. Begin by demonstrating the use of a voltmeter for measuring solar cell output. Take them outdoors to take...

Writing an equation of a line is as easy as m and b. A lesson presentation gives individuals different strategies for writing equations of lines. Some items provide a slope and a point while others provide two points. Whatever the given,...

The scale of the solar system is difficult to grasp without some sort of concrete visual; with some register tape and different-sized stickers, teach astronomers of any age just how spread out our solar system really is. Try to use...

Aid readers in achieving fluency! Hone in on appropriate pacing, accurate pronunciation, and varied intonation through modeling and ample practice. In one-minute bursts, individuals rehearse reading a passage aloud, recording where...

You're only 10 minutes late? Do you know how much the universe has expanded in those 10 minutes? Scholars graph supernovae based on their redshift and see if the results verify Hubble's Law. If it does confirm it, the universe is...

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

Students discover the formulas for calculating distance. In groups, they solve equations determine the distance in a specific amount of time. They record their answers in a chart or graph and compare them with their classmates.

Students are introduced to the the formula for calculating travel time. They listen to different scenarios relating to long distance travel into space and calculate travel time using the formula.

Students complete time and distance problems. Using appropriate problem solving strategies, students determine when a helicopter will catch a cruise ship. Students write a summary of their solution process. They complete a graph to...

Learners time battery operated cars over a set track and determine the velocity of each type of car. They use the cars as manipulatives to demonstrate word problems involving velocity.

Students apply what they recall about objects in motion by animati ng sequences of pictures that model a set of physical conditions. They animate the orbital motions of the Earth, the space shuttle, and the Moon based on calculations of...

Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.

In this word problems instructional activity, students solve twenty-eight motion/rate word problems.  The formula used in solving rate problems is provided at the top of the instructional activity.  Answers are provided at the...

In this rate problem worksheet, learners are given clues regarding the distance, and rate of travel for three siblings who walk home. They must find the distance the children walked, the time school was out and the time one of the...

Students graph their linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.

Students interpret and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat.  Students examine...
