Golf Ball Writing Worksheet
In this writing worksheet, learners develop letter and word recognition. Students trace three words to practice their writing, either in block, D'Nealian, or cursive font.
CK-12 Foundation
Loop-the-Loop
What prevents a roller coaster from falling when it goes upside down? Scholars experiment with a roller coaster simulation controlling the mass of the coaster, the height of the hill, and the radius of the loop. They learn which factors...

Meatballs
Your classroom will overflow with learning as they analyze the volume in a pot of meatballs. Young mathematicians predict the number of meatballs that will make a pot of sauce overflow. They incorporate both the volume of cylinders and...

Nature of Game Balls
Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.
Curated OER
Bouncing Balls
Pupils 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
The Effects of Meteor Impacts
Students investigate meteor impacts on the Earth's surface by using different size balls and charting their impacts, given their diameter and mass.

The Lost Newton's Laws Lesson
Young scholars explore momentum. In this physics lesson, students perform an experiment in which two balls are released on slanted boards while young scholars observe which ball will go the farthest and the fastest. Students define and...
Curated OER
Newton's Laws and Rocketball
Students investigate Newton's Three Laws. In this Newton's Law instructional activity, students write the laws in their own words. Students then do an experiment with a ping pong ball. Students drop the ball from a set distance and...
Curated OER
What Goes Up Must Come Down!
Pupils hypothesize about the nature of falling objects, design an experimental test to answer the question using everyday objects, analyze data to form conclusions, and infer that mass does not affect the speed of falling objects. This...
Curated OER
Probability
In this probability activity, 5th graders complete three sets of probability questions that use sets of blue balls, a spinning wheel, and sets of golf balls and blue balls.
Curated OER
Animal Classification
Third graders differentiate between vertebrates and invertebrates, and identify the main characteristics of mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. They sort and categorize different types of balls, discuss the characteristics...

Can You Make a Hole in One?
Students relate miniature golf to reflection of an image. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data as they study linear equations. They apply properties of graphing to solve real life scenarios.
Curated OER
Customary Units of Weight
In this customary units of weight worksheet, students use the math table that shows the normal weight of balls used in various professional sports. Students use the numbers in each table to solve the problems.
Curated OER
basketball golf
Eighth graders practice shooting basketballs at a hoop and keep track of their own score.
Curated OER
Soccer: Passing and Receiving on the Ground
Students demonstrate soccer skills. In this passing and receiving lesson, students practice passing a soccer ball and receiving a soccer ball as part of a team. Students develop control over the ball.
Curated OER
Watch Out!
First graders experiment with different sized balls and an incline plane to study how a heavy object push a lighter object. They examine the safety message of this lesson by showing their drawings of the crossbuck sign.
Curated OER
Functions and Applications: Maximum Quadratic functions
In this maximum of quadratic equations worksheet students compute the maximum height of 5 independent events. Each problem uses a golf game as the setting. Students use a quadratic equation to solve the problems.
Curated OER
Aerodynamic drag
Students construct a device that can launch spinning balls. One example would be a mailing tube with one side partially cut away, lined with sandpaper. Styrofoam balls should be used for the greatest effet. They are explained how a...
Curated OER
Absolute Value of Linear Functions
Learners discover how abolute value affects linear functions. They complete a worksheet simulating a path for miniature golf hole in one for three figures. They construct a hole in one graph for each hole marking the X and Y coordinates.
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.
Curated OER
Investigating Motion, Forces, and Energy Lab Book
Eighth graders create their own experiements using toy trucks, cars or balls to measure the time it takes two of them to travel 5 meters, as well as at each 1 meter interval. They make use computers to make a time/distance graph and...
Curated OER
Estimating Angles
Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and linear distance from one point to another. Using a specified website, 6th graders play a game of "Golf" where they enter the angle and distance a ball must be hit. Upon completion of...
