We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

In this tracking the rising tide worksheet, students use the data in a graph showing the seal level change versus time from 1900 to 2000 to answer 3 questions about the rising tides. Students determine the slope of a line drawn from 1920...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Learners develop a spreadsheet and import the information into a line graph. In this spreadsheet and line graph lesson plan, students develop a spreadsheet of ocean depths. They import the information into a word processed document. They...

Math and science meet in this lesson on hybrid electric automobiles. This 24-page resource provides everything you need for teaching a lesson that compares the use of internal combustion engines to hybrid electric engines. Participants...

As of 2015, there are 53,481 oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Scholars determine how species diversity is impacted based on the ecosystem's distance from a drilling platform.  It focuses on finding the mean of data sets...

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

Learners measure temperature and become aware the the temperature above and below the snow is different.  In this winter temperature lesson, students measure temperatures to find variation based on how the snow is packed. Learners...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Students use the point-slope formula to determine the relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature. They use a graphing calculator to determine the slope of the line between two points in each scale.

Students use graph paper to construct a graph and determine the slope of a straight line. They determine the weight (mass) of paper clips with a pan balance. Pupils weigh an unknown number of paper clips, and to interpret the graph to...

In this Hubble's law worksheet, learners use data for galaxies which include their distance and speed. Students make a graph to show the distance to each galaxy and the speed of each galaxy. They use their graph to answer 4 questions...

Students explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity lesson students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.

A bird's life is one of danger and intrigue as it struggles for survival in sometimes harsh environments. To understand how difficult surviving in the wild can be, children play a simulation game where they act as little auks, birds from...

Students identify when uniform motion occurs. They watch a teacher made PowerPoint explaining the concept of uniform motion and carry out an experiment to understand the concept.

In this prescription drug worksheet, students answer short answer questions and create graphs on the sales of prescription drugs over a five year span. Students complete six questions.

Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find spring...

Students describe and quantify the motion of toy cars. In this motion lesson, students observe a battery powered toy car on a flat surface and a standard toy car on a sloped surface. They write their observations, measure average speeds,...

In this linear motion worksheet, students answer 11 questions including finding acceleration of moving objects, finding the distance objects travel and finding the time it takes objects to move a particular distance. Students interpret...

Students conduct a series of investigation on latent heat of fusion. In this chemistry lesson, students explain how thermal storage systems work. They draw and interpret graphs.

Students draw a quick plan of an ocean floor as seen from the side; including the edge of a continent, a continental shelf, a continental slope, a basin, a trench, and a range. They require their definitions to do this.

Middle schoolers work together to create a model of the ocean floor. They practice using new vocabulary associated with the ocean floor as well. They share their model with the class.

Students analyze the sliding of boxes along a warehouse floor. In this algebra lesson, students connect math and physics by calculating the friction created by the sliding of each box. They develop faster method to move the box, based on...
