Discuss leavening agents and baked goods. Describe the purpose of leavening agents in baked goods List the four major leavening agents Explain why baking soda is used with an acid in baked goods Identify the types of doughs and batters...

Students determine how the slope affects the graph of a line. They relate "b" to the "y"-intercept of a line and solve the equation of a line given "m" and "b." They are given scenarios and possible answers to which they explain why or...

Students study Galileo and his scientific discoveries. They complete a series of experiments/model constructions, using 17th century equipment and procedures, to "recreate," demonstrate and explore the various discoveries of Galileo.

Students assess how algebra, telescopes, space exploration and optics are so important in astronomy. They encounter studies on the Hubble Space Telescope, Hubble Deep Field and how algebra helps to determine the effects of contamination...

Students create flubber glaciers. In this glacier dynamics lesson, students experiment factors that may affect glacier speed. Factors include slope, ice temperature, and basal conditions. Students develop hypothesis, conduct experiment,...

Third graders are introduced to the six types of simple machines and discover how they make tasks easier. In groups, they rotate between stations to experiment with the different types of simple machines. To end the lesson, they make a...

Students are introduced to two of the four principles of flight: drag and thrust. As the class watches a video on these principles, they utilize ballons, straws and clothepins to simulate what they're seeing in the show. Nice, hands-on...

In this quadratic applications worksheet, students complete graphs, charts, comparison charts, and more having to do with quadratic equations. Students complete 5 different activities.

Students study sea ice and its importance in climate and climate change. They discuss sea ice as a presence of a food source for marine animals in the arctic and complete a lab activity. After completing the lab, they watch a video...

Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to see how heat is transferred using common household objects. The teacher uses the safety plans included in the lesson plan. This is ideal for inexperienced Science teachers.

In this lab, students will be able to change the radius and the linear speed of a wheel. They can then see how each of these variables affects the angular speed. Students can also look at the relationship between angular distance and...

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance and stopping time of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, gravitational...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the horizontal distance travelled by a projectile. Students will be able to modify the starting height, initial speed and angle at which the projectile is fired....

Students will use Sphero to explore percentages using speed and color. The speed experiments are quantitative and the color experiments are qualitative. They will program the Sphero to move at 100% speed for a particular amount of time,...

Solve problems using vectors that involve velocity, speed, direction, and magnitude. Includes examples and practice problems. Click on the buttons under the practice questions to see the solutions.

This has been used for the physics portion of a ninth grade physical science course. This lab experience is designed to give students a conceptual sense of the relationship between one-dimensional distance, velocity and acceleration.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, and the initial speed of the car. Graphs...

This lab is designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the speed of an electron and the time it takes an electron to travel the distance between two charged plates.

This lab is designed to have students discover the relationship between the work that is done by a force and the speed gained by the object experiencing the force. Students can adjust the strength of the force. They can decide how much...

In this lab students will explore multiple variables of centripetal acceleration. Students collect data on distance from the center of rotation and angular speed, in order to determine the Centripetal Acceleration. Student also research...

A physics lab activity where students gather data from classmates running at different rates on a football field. They then share their gathered data and transfer it to a graphing program to ultimately calculate average velocity.
