It's the law—every action requires a reaction, no matter how small. Pupils experience two demonstrations of Newton's third law of motion as it relates to thrust in the 10th segment of a 22-part unit on flight. Using their mathematical...

Thirty multiple-choice questions and their answers are provided in this resource. It was written for a general chemistry course and queries test takers on scientific notation, mixtures, chemical symbols, electric charges, Dalton's atomic...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Students discuss what heat is and how it travels. They discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Students complete a unit of activities to learn about states of matter and how to measure matter. In this matter lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about matter, its states, and how to measure matter.

Students research the concept of predicting the weather. The research focuses on how some weather facts intuitively make sense. Students answer key questions based upon the mathematical concept of covariance.

Learners examine the interrelationship between trees, soil and people focusing on urban areas. They collect and analyze data about trees in their research area.

Pupils graph water temperature using probe software and a Palm on a class field trip to a lake or pond. Emphasis is placed on collaboration with high school science students and the use of ImagiProbe software.

Students explore temperature variation in lakes and deal with the data.

Students conduct a close examination of the atom's electrons, and discover how to theorize the energy levels, observe the brightness of light, classify colors, and measure temperature.

First graders use nonstandard measurement to measure. After reading Inch by Inch, 1st graders pair measure leaves that they have collected. They glue their leaves onto tag board to make a display.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.

Students examine weather maps from their state from the past few days. They examine the Highs and Lows on the maps to determine what kind of weather they produce. They use that information to better prepare for their activities and what...

High schoolers write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Students design and conduct experiments in order to identify the components of lake water environments that are affected by winter ice cover. They use the experiment results to propose effective human management of these ecosystems.

Students participate in a lesson that is concerned with the ecosystem of a local pond. The teacher makes arrangements for students to take a field trip. Time is spent in class for preparation and afterward for debriefing of lab...

Students are introduced to drag. Then they summarize drag by saying that the drag is proportional to the square of the velocity. Students then solve problems an example of such a problem: Explain why swimming underwater is faster than...

Students use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. For this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the...

In this hypothermia activity, students test room temperature water against outside wind and see what happens to a thermometer's temperature. Students follow 9 directions and answer 9 questions.

Fourth graders explore weather by reading weather measurement text. In this barometer lesson, 4th graders discuss ways weather is measured on Earth and how these measurements lead to predictions. Students read assigned text, discuss...

Students' temperature is measured using an instrument called a thermometer.
