Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

Students examine the effects of packaging decisions and the engineering advancements in packaging materials and waste management. They observe biodegradation in a model landfill.

Students compare and contrast the properties of salt water in the oceans/seas and freshwater elsewhere on the planet. They also analyze mixing caused by currents in the ocean, including the effects of warm and cold water as well as with...

Students explore the variety of ways to use solar energy. They investigate the thermal energy storage capacities of different test materials to determine which to use in passive solar building design. They explain how passive solar...

Third graders identify what plants need to grow. In this agricultural instructional activity, 3rd graders read the book The Empty Pot and discuss the steps to take when planting a seed. Students plant a seed and water it each day....

Using this short review of finding a percentage of a number, learners can practice important skills. There are twelve questions on this worksheet.

Students explore the long distances and timescales involved in space travel. They track the progress of the New Horizons spacecraft and access the New Horizons website to discover the distance of the spacecraft from the Sun, and then...

Students design and build a snowplow using LEGO materials. They compete in an Engineer's Challenge to clear a path through Styrofoam peanuts.

Young scholars work in groups that are engaged in different activities at different times. They watch the video "Madagascar" and collect data pertaining to the Fish Eagle's arm spam. They work together to perform mathematical...

Students design charts, tables, graphs, and pictographs to analyse the types of snacks in a bag.

Students complete a variety of activities related to the physical characteristics of minerals. They classify and group candy, classify rocks and complete a Pet River Rock worksheet. Students try to guess which rock goes with each...

Students conduct an experiment. In this science lesson, students create their own fog. Students observe the results.

Students take a survey of energy-consuming appliances in their homes and calculate the daily cost of operating these machines. They identify those appliances that consume the most energy and consider ways to reduce the amount of energy...

Students practice descriptive writing. In this unique writing lesson, students hear a story about a mitten. Then three grade levels come together to first, create a mitten on KidPix; second, describe the designed mitten; and third, try...

Young scholars use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.

Students explore the concept of perimeter. In this perimeter instructional activity, students discuss how to find perimeter of various shapes. Students use the Perimeter Explorer applet to find the perimeter of various shapes.

Students observe a balloon rocket and how it relates to Newton's Third Law of Motion. In this balloon rocket lesson plan, students make a balloon rocket out of balloons, clothespins, straw, fishing line, and duct tape.

Students create a line graph on the life expectancy for males and females in Canada. For this math and health lesson plan, students review table and graph terminology, create line graphs, and analyze the differences in life expectancy...

Learners engage in a study using technology in order to attempt the comprehension of using perimeter and area. They use powerpoint to solve different problems. This helps to keep learners engaged in the process of practice and...

Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

Students explore the concept of estimating and organizing a group of objects into an array to count the exact number of items. They create their own arrays and practice elements of estimation.

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.
