Solar System to Scale Lab
The objective of this lab is to make a scale model of our solar system, so as to better understand just how large the distances in our solar system are.
Materials Required
- Scientific Calculator
- Meter Stick(s)
- Objects/signs to represent each object in the Solar System
This lab is used in 8th grade physical science and 9th grade earth science. After students calculate the scale distances between each object in the Solar System, you then have the class make the scale solar system

Sunspot Graphing Lab
The objective of this lab is to apply knowledge of graphing relationships to graph and determine the relationship between sunspots and time. Students will be asked to label and number the x- and y- axes on their graph, plot data in a line graph format, interpret the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and extrapolate the data shown on the graph to make predictions about future sunspot activity. This lab is used in a 9th grade earth science class and meets the New York

Dimensional Analysis Practice
This is a tiered dimensional analysis worksheet.
Section 1: Section 1 includes practice of one-dimensional unit conversion. It starts the students with something they are familiar with such as time, and then progresses.
Section 2: Section 2 includes practice of rate unit conversion. They should not move on to this section until mastering section 1. If they cannot convert just distance, they have no business converting speed.
Section 3: Section 3 includes applying unit conversion to real li

Big and Small: Metric Prefixes and Conversions
Ah, metric prefixes. So useful, and yet so tricky to master for those of us in the small part of the world (*ahem* USA) that doesn't regularly use the metric system! Use this activity to introduce your students to the most commonly used metric prefixes (pico through tera), learn what they mean, and how to convert back to base units. This activity includes a short reading comprehension section, a metric prefixes chart for the students to complete, the basics of converting back to base units, and
