Make sure your house is warm in the winter. Pupils analyze graphs of heating costs for two similar houses and make hypotheses for why the costs differ. They then build models of houses with appropriate insulation to reduce heating costs.

Learners test insulation materials. In this energy conservation lesson, students use different insulation materials to see which one holds heat the best. Learners pour hot water into bottles, take the temperature, wait 15 minutes, then...

Give your future household repair specialists a real-life chance to apply the concepts of ratio and proportion. Using a scale drawing, they calculate the missing dimensions of two walls of a compound-shaped attic. They then figure how...

Young scholars explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter lesson, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Young scholars experiment with heating objects such...

Third graders measure the heat created at each center.

Finding the area of a rectangle is the focus of this metric worksheet. Here, mathematicians use their knowledge of finding the area of a shape in meters to discover how much material can fit inside a shape.

Middle schoolers redesign their school to make it more energy efficient, and create a model of their design. Learners get together in groups of 5, and they take on the task of making their school more energy efficient. To do this, they...

Students investigate energy conservation.  In this energy conservation and analyzing data instructional activity, students identify and explain several energy sources and research renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Students...

Students work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...

In this conserving fuel learning exercise, 7th graders solve and complete 4 different word problems that include measurement and total cost of products. First, the determine the gas station described that has the lowest price of...

Young scholars demonstrate a comprehension of the properties, position, and motion of objects and materials, and of light, heat, electricity, and magnetism. They use materials to assemble an electric circuit and test materials,...

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the differential equations. They also investigate the application of recognizing the parts of the equation.

In this math worksheet, students are given terms from the Fourier sine or cosine series. They solve for the corresponding term that is in the solution u(x,t). Boundaries are specified. Three application problems follow the terms.

Students explore how landscapes undergo constant changes with urban development. They plan and build their own "city" by including features that have minimal resource demands to sustain the city itself.
