What is pi anyway?  After this set of activities, your pupils should have multiple answers to this question. Investigate pi with various experiments and discoveries. Calculate the ratio circumference/diameter for different sized...

Middle schoolers work with scientific notation and rounding as they determine volume. In this volume lesson, pupils attempt to calculate the volume of the planet Jupiter. They use rounding to two significant digits and scientific...

In this chemistry worksheet, students respond to several multiple choice questions relating to bonding and acid-bases. They also identify the various types of bases and how they differ from each other.

Pupils work with circles, angles and estimating angles in the night sky. In this circles and angles lesson plan, students practice measuring a degree using the circumference of a circle and apply the degree to determine a way to use...

Learners locate an area of marsh and, by measuring the total number of individual plants in a sample area, determine whether purple loosestrife population density is correlated to the total plant diversity of the community. They...

Students calculate distance, velocity, acceleration and time on their fantasy trip to the black hold. They apply Newton's Laws of Motion and calculate circular motion. They discuss any questions that may arise.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with finding the volume of a solid. They investigate and describe the characteristics of a favorite food and identify it as metal or non-metal. The lesson includes pictures of different solid...

Students explore the basic principles of the operation of the NASA's KAO telescope. They construct a simplified model of it using film canisters and other everyday objects. Step by step directions are included in plan.

Pupils examine the relationship between circumference and diameter and how to use the formula to find the area of a circle.  For this circle lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity. 

Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.

In this creating bonds worksheet, students create 2-D and 3-D models of the molecular formula provided. Students complete a chart of information about the molecular formula given.
