Space Ship Pilot
Students visualize the relation between acceleration and velocity in 2 dimensions. They are introduced to Newton's first law,and Newton's second law. Students work on an exploration activity where they condsider an example of a...
Curated OER
The Science of Hurricanes
Students are introduced to the science of hurricanes in an effort to highlight how forces change the speed and direction of motion.
Curated OER
Tracking Hurricanes
Students explore how technology and science are used to identify, measure, and track powerful tropical storms to better warn and secure people from their impact. They research hurricanes online by tracking the storms on a hurricane website.
Curated OER
Roll On
Second graders, in groups, develop models to show how forces such as gravity, friction, equal, unequal forces and change in direction work on marbles.
Curated OER
Impulse/Momentum Lab
Students investigate the relationship between force and momentum using motion detectors and sensors. In this physics lesson, students graph experimental results. They calculate impulse using the area under the graph.
Curated OER
Does Weight Affect Drag?
Young scholars investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall. In this investigative lesson plan students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.
Curated OER
Let's Go Slopey
Students create a table of values to graph a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.
Curated OER
Who's the Frog Jumping Champion?
Students use a simple machine (a lever) to launch a plastic frog. students determine who is able to make their frog "jump" the farthest and graph the results.
Curated OER
Water Contamination Mapping Lab
Students are introduced briefly to the Biscayne Bay Ecosystem, observed microbe distributions and water current maps are introduced. They measure water current speeds to predict the movement of pollutants based on the type of the tidal...
Curated OER
Friction of a Block Weight
Fifth graders hypothesize and design an experiment to study the relationship between a block weight and the number of washers it takes to pull a block across various surfaces. Students graph results and apply their findings to a...
Curated OER
Machines at Work
Students discuss how simple machines have made our lives easier and construct a compound machine. In this machines lesson plan, students watch a video on machines, look at websites, and follow task cards in order to make a simple machine.
Curated OER
Race the Track! Jump the Gap
Students record data of using a track system with variables and how those variables affect a ball used in the track. In this track lesson plan, students design their own track in groups, test the ball's rates of speed, and record their...
Curated OER
The Properties of Matter
In this science learning exercise, students read passages and derive the meaning from them to answer three key questions related to mass and weight.
Curated OER
Teaching English: Reducing Emissions by Cycling
In this ESL worksheet, students analyze an abstract picture and create the persona of a cyclist. Students cut apart cards with controversial statements regarding cycling and discuss them. Students then discuss what they personally would...
Curated OER
Pilots, Drivers, and Captains
Students listen to the song, The Wheels on the Bus, then change the words for a boat.
Curated OER
Integers
Young scholars multiply integers. In this multiplying integers instructional activity, students multiply positive and negative integers. Young scholars discuss that a positives times positives, positives times negatives, and...

Newton's First Law
In this laws of motion worksheet, students review vocabulary words and concepts associated with Newton's first law of motion. This worksheet has 15 true or false questions.
Curated OER
Rock-A-Bye Pendulum
Third graders use the scientific process to explore the effects of force on an object in motion. They demonstrate that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater the change in speed or direction of the object. They...
