We Are Moving on Up
Celebrate your class's achievements with this collection of reflective, rewarding activities. In a lesson plan designed to help your pupils transition to the next grade, students take part in up 13 activities that celebrate the end of...
Curated OER
Performing Transformations
Students investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.
Curated OER
Transformation of Energy
Sixth graders explore and discuss how several electrical devices work and what energy conversions occur in each device. They connect a zinc strip to a copper strip with alligator clips and wire, immersing each strip in lemon and check...
Curated OER
Transformation of Energy- Sound
Sixth graders investigate how sound is made by vibrating matter. They work with a ruler and a rubber band to produce different types of vibration which makes different pitches of sound. They record their observations of the noises made...
Curated OER
Transforming Negatives to Positives
Students create double-exposed photographs, poetry, and multimedia presentations to celebrate their Open Court "City Wildlife" unit.
Curated OER
The Transformer
Fourth graders practice measuring different objects in inches. Individually, they estimate the length of the same object in centimeters and then calculate the actual length. They compare and contrast their estimate to the actual length...
Curated OER
Cultural and Social Transformations Since 1865
Students research cultural and social issues in the areas of Westward Expansion, Immigration, and Civil Rights. They use their research to create a PowerPoint electronic book to be used by other students.
Curated OER
Transforming Energy
Sixth graders study about alternate energy sources and discuss with their neighbor how alternative energy sources affect environmental conditions so that an entire species could be affected.
Curated OER
Solving Systems of Equations by graphing for Algebra One
Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...
Curated OER
The Terrible Transformation: Freedom Denied
Students learn about the legal foundations for slavery and explore autobiographical writings of slaves. Students trace the development of laws that enforced the slave status of Africans and their descendants.
Curated OER
One Person's Garbage, Another Person's . . .?
Students list many, different and unusual items that could be constructed out of refuse and found objects.
Curated OER
Lesson One: Who Am I?
Fourth graders interpret artworks by four Chicana/o artists. They identify characteristics of their own they might use in constructing sculptures that express themselves.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Changes in Bacteria
Students investigate a rapid method to render the bacterium Escherichia coli "competent" to uptake plasmid DNA. They demonstrate the phenotypic changes associated with transformation. They perform a cell resuspension from the...
Curated OER
PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC CHANGES IN BACTERIA
Students use a rapid method to render the bacterium Escherichia coli "competent" in order to uptake plasmid DNA. They also have growth on the plain LB plates by the untransformed cells (which serve as controls). Students perform a cell...
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.
Curated OER
Making Energy "trails"
Pupils explore ten different stations that demonstrate either chemical, kinetic, or mechanical energy. They examine the way energy is transferred during each station's hands-on activity. Stations include vinegar and baking soda, wind-up...
Curated OER
Transmission of Electricity
Students examine why electricity is distributed at high voltage and the functions of transformers. In this electromagnetism lesson plan students study at what frequency electricity is distributed.
Curated OER
Rotations, Reflections, and Translations
In this transformations worksheet, learners copy the given figures onto grid paper and complete the transformations. Students then find the pictures that show translations, rotations, and reflections. Learners finish with two test prep...
Curated OER
Converting Energy
Students explore the concepts of energy transformation and conversion. They engage in Internet and hands-on activities. Students visit the Atoms Family Website and complete a Building a Better Pyramid activity by adding insulation to...
