Curated OER
Push Up Routine
Students improve upper body strength by doing push-ups. They practice synchronized movements they can do with a partner while in the push-up position.
Curated OER
Same and Different
Young scholars are taught the concept of what looks the same and what looks different, with both objects and movement.
Curated OER
Locomotor Treasure Hunt
Students practice in refining their locomotor skills and developing their understanding of pathways and basic map reading skills.
Curated OER
Altimetry
Fifth graders accurately measure the distance to eight points on an uneven surface by conducting a simulation of sattelite altimetry. They create a two-dimensional model of the simulated ocean surface by graphing data from the Radar Run...
Curated OER
An Enzyme- Substrate Model
Students explore reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction. They examine the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students collect, graph, and analyze data relating to the reaction.
Curated OER
Particle Models in Two Dimensions
In this motion worksheet, students draw and label the trajectory of objects including the x-component and y-component of the velocity. Students calculate acceleration and speed. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.
Curated OER
ESL: Future Time
In this ESL future time instructional activity, learners choose the correct verb form to fill-in-blanks in sentences. Students get immediate on line feedback upon clicking an answer.
Curated OER
Superball Physics
Eighth graders bounce superballs and measure to see if they can hit the same spot over and over. In this superball lesson plan, 8th graders calculate the weight of the ball with the force of the throw to try and hit the same spot with...
Curated OER
Race Track
Students, in groups, are spaced evenly around the gymnasium. Each group is under a basketball basket. Each team runs one lap around the race track. when he/she gets home, hand the ring to the next person who runs.
Curated OER
How Close Is Our Estimate?
Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.
Curated OER
Sport Dictation
For this sport dictation worksheet, students take dictation concerning various sports terms and their definitions.
Curated OER
Push Up Routine
Students improve upper body strength (push-ups). This can be used as part of a strength warm-up or as a fitness station.
Curated OER
Impulsive Force Model
For this impulsive force worksheet, students calculate speed, force, and velocity for several word problems as it relates to the concepts in physics. Students also apply the momentum conservation equation to each problem.
Curated OER
Potential Energy
Students examine the concept of potential energy and see that it is the ability to do work. In this energy instructional activity students complete several activities on potential energy.
Curated OER
Balloon Round-Up
Students practice using paddles to hit objects. In this striking skills instructional activity, students use wooden paddles to round up balloon farm animals without touching the balloons with their hands.
Curated OER
Bouncing Balls
Students make observations of a bouncing ball and study how it travels. In this height lesson students complete a lab activity and describe and explain the motion of the ball.
Curated OER
Coefficient of Restitution
Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls. In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.
