Spacecraft Speed
Space shuttles traveled around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, way faster than trains, planes, or automobiles travel! In the 13th installment of 22, groups graph different speeds to show how quickly spacecraft move through...

Speed
Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...
Curated OER
Motion: Speed, Velocity, Acceleration and Networking
Students interpret a variety of motion graphs. In this physics lesson, students calculate the speed and acceleration of objects using numerical data from graphs. They apply what they have learned to solve real world problems.

The Science of Hurricanes
Students explore hurricanes. In this science lesson, students discuss the aspects of hurricanes and watch videos of hurricanes. Students discuss the motion of the hurricanes.
Curated OER
Moving Rhythms
Students explore the elements of tempo, beat and rhythm. They create rhythm patterns and an original dance. In groups, students perform their phrases for their peers. As a class, they explore choreographic principles, processes and...
Curated OER
Water Unit
Learners make boats and race them. In this physics lesson, students investigate surface tension, molecules, and cohesion by competing in a class race with their boats. Learners experiment with liquid soap to see how much will make their...
