It is always a rush to drop objects from great heights, and with this physics experiment, class members will not be disappointed! They drop a single coffee filter from a balcony or table top, record the time it takes to reach the ground,...

Give your class a concrete example of exponential growth and decay using this hands-on activity. These Algebra II lessons allow for the exploration of exponential growth and decay models, as well as the discovery of the patterns of...

Computer-interfaced motion detectors are required to carry out this inquiry. It is a new twist on exploring motion with plunger carts: they are set back-to-back and then propelled away from each other. Their velocities are measured, and...

Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

Learners practice graphing relationships between variables by studying topics such as exponential growth and decay. They conduct a series of numerical experiments using a computer model and a variety of physical experiments using mold,...

Students experiment with distance, speed, and motion by graphing the motion of a bowling ball. For this distance versus time graphing lesson, students observe the speed and distance of a rolling ball and graph their findings. They then...

Second graders investigate weather. In this weather instructional activity, 2nd graders discover how to read a temperature gauge, keep track of the weather, and find out how the weather affects their day. They work individually and in...

Pupils compare the temperature change in a closed and open box as a demonstration of the greenhouse effect. 

In this speed formula and scientific method worksheet, students read over descriptions of the formula an method. Students then respond to 12 matching, problem solving and short answer questions.

Students conduct Internet research on weather and weather conditions in South America. They read a weather report in Spanish, and answer worksheet questions on South American countries and their weather conditions.

Young scholars compare similarities/differences of two characters. They demonstrate use of graphing software to compare/contrast their two characters. Students incorporate Inspiration/Kidspiration and the use of a Venn Diagram.

In this acceleration worksheet, students experiment with varying amounts of mass to observe the effects on the force needed to move an object. Students apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to describe the relationship between mass and...

Students identify and interpret the cyclical nature of the Parkfield, California earthquakes. They then investigate and graph earthquake occurrences on the Mojave segment of the San Andreas fault and then on the Hayward fault in order to...

For this math worksheet, students will create a "bridge" out of spaghetti and test it's strength with pennies. Students will record their results on a table and then graph the results.

In this thermometric titration learning exercise, learners titrate hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide to determine its concentration. They measured the solution's change in temperature, plotted their data, and used the graph to find...

In this rate of chemical reactions worksheet, learners experiment with different concentrations and volumes of hydrochloric acid mixed with magnesium to explore the rate of chemical reactions. They measure the rates of the reactions and...

In this harmonic motion worksheet, students read about the difference between harmonic motion and linear motion. They are given the parts of harmonic motion, graphs of harmonic motion and equations to find the period and frequency of...

Students conduct an experiment with bubbles.  In this observation and comparison lesson plan, students read Bubbles, Bubbles, Everywhere and conduct an experiment where they test different kinds of liquids to see which is the best...

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...

In this harmonic motion worksheet, students read about repetitive motion, the parts of harmonic motion, and graphing harmonic motion. Students then complete 5 matching and 20 fill in the blank questions.

In this experimental design worksheet, students are given two experimental scenarios to read. They answer questions about each including finding the hypothesis, the independent and dependent variables and controls. They design a graph...

Students draw graphs of linear equations using the slope intercept form. Upon completion of various problems, students record their answers on the board and explain the solutions to classmates. Students take a test over the material...

Are you looking for lab sheets to go with your class experiment on plant response to light? You are no longer in the dark! This is a lesson that was written for a unit on light, but could easily be used to demonstrate plant behaviors in...

Students practice estimating and counting and using a ruler to measure distance.
