Many youngsters don't understand that fitness is a life-long endeavor, and that it really pays off to be healthy. Use a spreadsheet to document progress in a fitness plan to see if there really in a benefit to running and exercise. Adapt...

Students calculate the rate of speed of various moving objects within the classroom setting, or outside under a controlled environment.

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

Compounding is dividing units. Pupils practice using compound measures such as units for speed and density to solve problems that range from straightforward speed problems to those requiring conversions. The last few items challenge...

It is not always easy to walk the straight and narrow. In the sixth portion of a nine-part unit, groups actively recreate a graph depicting motion. Individuals walk toward or away from a motion detector while trying to match a given...

In the 19th activity of 22, learners determine if distance from a light source affects photosynthesis. Participants capture oxygen in straws and find that the amount of water the gas displaces is proportional to the rate of photosynthesis.

Will the time come when women outperform men at the Olympic Games?Scholars investigate gender differences in Olympic Games performances. They study the historical participation of women and then analyze data to determine if women will...

The epicenter is the point on the ground above the initial point of rupture. The 10th lesson in a series of 20 encourages scholars to learn to triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake based on the arrival times of p waves and s...

Graphing functions in a real world application makes math come to life. Learners graph points on a coordinate plane and identify various points on a graph by working through a set of real world problems. This is a perfect review exercise.

Students investigate speed. In this rate of change lesson, students complete a rate/time/distance table to determine the average m.p.h. of a given trip. They listen and follow along with the lecture and examples to determine the average...

In this distance worksheet, students solve equations involving square roots. They use the distance formula to solve four of the ten problems. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

High schoolers use a migration map to estimate the distance traveled by a bird while migrating south. After calculating accurate estimates of the distance traveled, students compare the distances traveled with the amount of time elapsed.

High schoolers investigate their reaction times for grabbing a dropped ruler after discussing reactions times to other events such as moving your foot from the gas pedal to the brake. They drop the ruler from a sent height and record the...

In this physics worksheet, learners complete a lab activity and record their results in the charts shown. They calculate the speed for each trial using the total time and total distance. Students also graph their results.

For this velocity worksheet, students determine the average velocity for a trip, graph the distance traveled as a function of time, estimate the slope and identify the instantaneous rate of change of the function. This two-page...

In this direct and inverse variation worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include various situations in variations. First, they find the constant of proportionality when given each variable measure. Then, students...

In this acceleration and average speed worksheet, students learn the equations for acceleration and average speed. They match 6 variables with their quantities, they identify speed vs. velocity and scalar vs. vector and they solve 4...

Eighth graders divide into groups of 4 or 5. They go to the track and have every student run/walk one lap around the school track. Call out their times as they cross the finish line. In the computer lab, have the students create a table...

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

Taxi! Have your travelers figure out how far they can go in a taxi for $10.00. They must account for the mileage rate and tip in their calculation. They can set up a table or make an equation to solve for the exact mileage they can...

Can you graph your story? Keep your classes interested by challenging them to graph a scenario and interpret the meaning of an intersection. Be sure they paty attention to the detail of a graph, including intercepts, slope,...
