Learners examine a cookie that represents pumice and lava in order to realize that lava is a composite of many rock particles. They compare and contrast pumice to the cookie by estimating, weighing, measuring and dissecting the cookie...

Students estimate the energy output of the sun. They estimate how much power sunlight the sunlight provides to the earth. They build a simple device to measure the amount of solar radiation the earth receives from the sun.

Students define kinetic energy and know the effects of weight and speed on momentum.  In this investigative lesson plan students get into groups and design a roller coaster. 

Students explore friction. In this friction instructional activity, students investigate that weight and surface type affect friction.

Pupils estimate how many peas fit in a container. In this science lesson, students calculate the weight of a pea and record it. They use this data to calculate how many peas fit in a human brain.

Students simulate some of the Pathfinder experiments by devising methods of collecting and measuring magnetic substances in pseudo-Martian soil. The efficiency of each of the methods used to collect materials is evaluated in this lesson.

In this math worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept of measurement and cover the related vocabulary.

In this math advertisement investigation activity, students research canoes, then make an add for a canoe using as many of the measurement units given as possible. Worksheet is part of the Houghton-Mifflin math series.

Students complete a hands on activity to determine how scientists use indirect observations to define problems that are not directly measurable. They complete an associate student handout.

Fifth graders review the definition of mass and volume. They calculate and graph the density of various types of fruit while working in groups on a spreadsheet program. They look at how size of the fruit can be similar but the weight is...

In this math worksheet, students look for the words in the puzzle that are related to the theme of measurement. Spelling skills are worked on.

In this mathematical worksheet, learners convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

Students learn the four concepts of flight; drag, lift, thrust, and weight. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students participate in a flight activity where they jump as high as they can to stamp a large sheet of paper and measure and...

Twelfth graders apply estimation techniques to determine how high any one basketball player can jump.

Students demonstrate problem solving skills. Students complete word problems requiring unit conversions. They convert both metric and standard units. Students must determine necessary information to solve problems.

Students compare estimated lengths with actual lengths.

In this metric worksheet, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems as they relate their findings to trigonometric ratios, specifically sine. There are 15 word problems with an answer key.

Young scholars explore the role of government in the economy market. In this economics lesson, students analyze the decision making and how it takes into consideration additional cost, benefits and public awareness of what they are...

In this physics rules worksheet, students complete questions and answers in order to review physics rules with each other. Students complete 26 questions.

Students identify the letters of the alphabet. In this letters lesson, students use an iPad to play games, draw pictures, and listen to videos about the alphabet. They use pipe cleaners to create their name.

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

Students identify the characteristics of a bridge and build with junk materials.  In this bridge building lesson, students use cereal boxes, paper towel or toilet paper tubes and tape to create their bridges.  Bridges must...

Preparing for an AP test is about more than bubble sheets and memorization. The two activities in this resource require a direct application of skills learned throughout an AP Physics course.
