Students draw a diagram that shows the law of reflection. In this physics lesson, students investigate the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection. They explain how light travels as it reflects on a surface.

Introduce your class to magnetic fields with an activity that demonstrates that a compass is affected by the magnetic field of the earth, unless a closer, stronger magnetic field is present. Pupils can use this fact in the...

In this least square regression instructional activity, students find solutions to given linear systems. They draw pictures, draw a vector and prove the solution. This two-page instructional activity contains eleven problems, with some...

In this transformations/translation worksheet, students draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Preparing for an AP test is about more than bubble sheets and memorization. The two activities in this resource require a direct application of skills learned throughout an AP Physics course.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Students receive bloodstain pattern evidence from a crime scene. They answer a series of questions through inquiry, observation, measurement, and analysis. Pupils complete this challenge, by reconstructing the evidence through four...

Fractions, ratios, and proportions: what do they have to do with segments? Scholars discover the midpoint formula through coordinate geometry. Next, they expand on the formula to apply it to dividing the segment into different...

I would weigh less on the moon? Send me there, then! On the top of the first page, a cartoon image demonstrates the difference between Earth and the moon. It then goes on to describe weight and mass and provides five practice problems...

In this polynomial equation worksheet, students explore real fractional powers of complex numbers. This three-page worksheet contains examples, explanations and approximately seven problems.

In this math worksheet, students analyze a path around a circle. The interval is defined. Students sketch a graph of a given parametric curve. Five application problems give students practice using these concepts in real life situations.

Five pages for geometry practice relating to symmetry provide mathematicians with exercises on transformations and symmetry, properties of isometries, compositions of transformations, tessellations with regular polygons, and other...

Students are introduced to Kepler's 2nd law of Planetary Motion. The instructional activity reinforces the understanding of focal points. They calculate the sector area of an ellipse.Students expand understanding by modeling Kepler's 2nd...

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students design a roller coaster that allows a marble to run the course as fast as possible. Students create an experimental roller coaster taking into account the steepness of the hills and the sharpness of the turns. Students use a...

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the differential equations. Then they graph the solution and show if they are perpendicular.

In this math worksheet, students graph the function. Then they determine the altitude in relation to the graph of the function using point (2,1).

Students examine and discuss Newton's Laws and discover his contribution to physics. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they much apply the Laws to the world around them. They describe contact and conservative forces...

In this math activity, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

In this math worksheet, students investigate how time is related to the concept of increasing or decreasing velocity. Then they consider times and answer the questions of whether the velocity is changing.

Students see if they can get their perceptions of movement expressed in images.

Eighth graders differentiate speed and velocity. In this physics lesson, 8th graders explain Newton's laws of motion. They calculate speed using a mathematical formula.

Students practice reading situations where forces are acting upon objects in all directions and magnitudes, and then draw free-body diagrams to represent the forces. Each problem has a self-checking key linked right on the page.
