This is an expanded version of the free isolines practice that I offer. In addition to the isolines practice that that file has, this one also includes notes about isolines to go over with students, as well as answer keys to the notes and practice worksheets.

Enjoy this laboratory activity about Latitude and Longitude! It gives students practice reading and using the latitude & longitude coordinate system on various maps. Specific skills practiced are reading locations on a map, plotting locations on a map, contemplating time zones and how they relate to Earth's rotation and solar noon vs clock noon. Note: Parts of the lab refer to the ESRT. This is New York State's Earth Science Reference Tables. Even if you don't teach in New York State, the

When asked which math topic is their least favorite, many students would say Proofs. This is understandable, especially when students don't have good examples to study. This packet contains nine proofs in various forms: fill-in-the-blank (for if you are just starting proofs with your class), unstructured (for classes who have been practicing proofs for a bit and don't need the help), and the answer keys (suitable to go with either previous version). I envision this packet as a transition betw

This is a single page (front & back) of fill-in-the-blank notes for teaching high school students how to identify the transformations of functions by looking at the equation. The answer key is included. Please do not re-post this on-line for others, and only give paper copies of the blank version to students. (Writing things by hand vastly improves memory & recall - make them fill in the blanks themselves!) Note: After this lesson, I assign the odd numbered questions from this worksheet

Everybody loves Christmas songs, but as teachers we also prize mental stimulation. This activity has the names of many popular Christmas songs written verbosely; the goal is to figure out the original titles. This is a great activity to do on the last day before winter break. (After doing this with my students, some of them learned that they don't know as many Christmas songs as they thought they did, and others learned that they know a lot of Christmas songs but only remember them after hear

This notes sheet is set up grid-style, with the ten steps on Moh's Hardness Scale. It provides the steps, chemical formulas, and pictures of applications. Students will fill in the name of the mineral at each level and the common uses/applications. Answer key is included.

Here are some printable unit circle diagrams. One has all special angles and coordinates labeled on it in degrees and radians; one has blank spaces for all of the labels, and the third is also blank but without the spaces for radian angle measures. The first quadrant also includes the calculation for each coordinate pair, so you can discuss the pattern and how understanding the pattern removes the need for memorization of this entire page of data. The files are zipped PDFs.

In this worksheet, students review some galaxy types, how scientists determine temperature, composition, distance, & speed from starlight, the name & structure of our galaxy, the definition of a light year, and three pieces of evidence for the Big Bang.

This is a collection of common geometry formulas/equations that can be printed and/or posted for student reference, possibly given for use on a quiz, etc. This is the original MS Word document, so feel free to add or remove equations as necessary.

This printout of some NASA news article headings gives teachers the chance to discuss the crash of the Mars Climate Orbiter, which happened because one contracted company built part of the computer to think in metric units and another built a different part to think in imperial units. That's $193 million wasted because people didn't carefully label their units! The back of the printout has the SI unit prefixes, so this can be an introduction to them, and how metric conversion is so much simpler
