Students observe a plywood box with mirrors. For this mirror and light lesson, students make informal, individual investigations with a plywood box that has been fitted with mirror squares. They use observation skills and investigate...

Students investigate ways to save our environment by creating a recycled product.  In this sustainable materials lesson, students create a magazine holder by recycling a large cardboard box and gift wrap or wallpaper.  Students...

Students in an ESL class practice their English by talking to their classmates. Using a worksheet, they put the name of their classmate that meets the criteria in the box. They compete with one another to get five boxes in a row to...

Young biologists take a look at the myriad of ways that animals increase their chances of surviving in the wild. The adaptations help animals hide, hunt, and attract a mate. This lesson plan specifically explores how insect mouth parts...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Students experience the magic of mirrors. For this reflection and illusion lesson, students witness magic tricks that work because of mirrors, then rotate through five stations to complete hands-on experiments using mirrors, light,...

Young scholars observe populations and determine the functions (e.g., decomposers, producers, consumers) they serve in an ecosystem. They investigate the energy flow ecosystems. Students investigate factors (.g., Resources, light, water)...

Students explore the coordinate plane.  In this middle school/Algebra I lesson, students use dice with numbers and signs to play a game in which they must locate points on a coordinate plane.  Students work in teams to place...

Pupils are able to describe the importance of wetland vegetation. They describe the impacts human activities have on water systems. Students compare and contrast the effect of different soil types on water filtration.

Students examine, through experimentation and simulation, how insect mouthparts are adapted for particular food sources, discuss how various animals have adapted to survive, play Feeding Frenzy game, and complete activity sheets.

Students investigate chemical energy. In this physical science lesson, students blow on saltine crackers to demonstrate how chemical energy in food can be converted to motion. Students compare the saltine cracker experiment to how...

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Young scholars explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

Students build and use a reflective solar cooker to cook marshmallows.
