Pupils increase their reading fluence through repeated reading of a selected, leveled passage. Working in pairs, students read a grade level appropriate text in one-minute intervals. After reading they determine their fluency through a...

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...

Students investigate graphing a line. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

not a lesson Student's success in school depends on the accuracy at which they can read their materials in the expected amount of time. If students do not read accurately, quickly, and effortlessly they may fall behind their...

Students list their favorite cars and create graphs of their favorites. Students determine how the graphs would change as their choices change.

Students discuss the weather conditions. They read thermometer, rain gauge, barometer, and wind direction and speed. They record observations of weather conditions and enter information into data base on the computer.

In this mixture word problem worksheet, students read story problems and determine what information is necessary to solve the mixture problem. They identify the correct solution, graph inequalities, and solve inequality equations. Nine...

Fourth graders discuss, describe and track weather by utilizing a variety of measurable quantities as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud conditions and precipitation. They assess, through experiments and practicing, how to...

In this systems of equations worksheet, students read word problems, write equations, and solve the systems of equations. They use graphing, elimination, or substitution to solve the problems. This four page worksheet contains eleven...

In this hurricane learning exercise, students analyze and interpret a hurricane graph. They complete 5 short answer questions that follow.

Students find forecast and graph weather by using WeatherBug site, create flower books by using Wiggleworks, and plant radish seeds both on KidPix and in class garden.

In this waves worksheet, students read about harmonic and linear motion in waves as well as the two types of waves. They match 5 terms to their definitions about the structure of waves, they solve for the wavelength, frequency and...

In this cosmic rays and solar cells worksheet, students read about how cosmic rays damage the electrical output of solar cells over time on satellites. Students use a graph of the solar power output compared to the year for the SOHO...

Third graders read, write, and listen to information about the sun and its effects on the Earth.as it relates to its axis, orbit, rotate, and revolution.  In this solar system lesson, 3rd graders examine how the sun...

In this velocity worksheet, students solve 13 problems including finding acceleration of objects, forces on objects, velocity of objects and interpreting graphs of position vs. time.

In this blood alcohol worksheet, students read about the factors that affect a person's blood alcohol concentration. Students use a given formula to calculate the amount of alcohol in a list of four different drinks and apply their...

Students conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time graphs.

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

Fourth graders discuss Newton's Second Law of Motion, and the acceleration of fast and slow moving objects. They experiment with items with different masses to determine the effect mass has on acceleration using a toy car. They complete...

In this sound worksheet, students read about sound waves, how they are graphed, what frequency is and how it's related to pitch and the speed of sound. Students solve 8 sections of problems including matching terms related to sound to...

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

Fourth graders brainstorm a list of words associated with weather. In groups, they sort the words into categories and observe the weather in their area for a month. To end the lesson, they compare the barometer measurements for a...

Students learn what happens when ice melts. They explore melting, and devise ways of speeding up and slowing down the melting process.

Learners investigate local surface weather conditions. They log weather conditions for thirty days, develop a graph, plot cloud cover, and compare/contrast the graphed lines of various weather factors.
