Students read "How To Make an Apple Pie and See the World", the story of a girl who traveled the world to find the ingredients to make her apple pie. They conduct a series of interdisciplinary activities including testing their senses,...

Sixth graders explore the periodic table of elements. Using given websites, 6th graders explore the history of the periodic table and its design. Students role play, writing a journal entry, as if they were the author of the periodic table.

Sixth graders examine and discuss the history of paper making. They create pieces of paper from raw materials, then decorate their papers to use as journal entries or scrapbook designs.

Second graders investigate the life cycle of the caterpillar. They create a caterpillar habitat and care for it. Students make daily observations that are recorded in a writing journal. During the process of observation the students...

Inspire your class to look at their environments as if they were seeing them for the first time in order to gain a better understanding of the concept of perspective. After exploring their communities and keeping a journal of major...

Fourth graders experiment to determine how overpopulation effects ecosystems specifically plants. In this ecosystem instructional activity, 4th graders conduct an ecosystems experiment after listening to Claire Daniel's, Ecosystems. They...

Students learn about butterflies through books and observation in a butterfly pavilion. In this butterfly pavilion lesson, students use hand lenses to observe the metamorphosis of the butterfly and record in their journals. Students feed...

Learners investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon activity, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Eighth graders conduct a scientific experiment that help them explain the concept of nature versus nurture.

First graders use their senses to formulate questions and make predictions to determine what is in the "Wonder Bag". They hold pieces of ice and examine while listing descriptors on a chart and then take their own temperature using an...

Students identify different parts of a prism and polyhedra. For this geometry lesson, students identify the number of faces, edges and sides of polygons. They solve problems by recognizing patterns.

Pupils identify the properties and theorems of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students construct angle bisectors using a compass and straight edge. They identify triangular similarity and congruency.

Students investigate Menelaus Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of polygons. They differentiate between boundaries point, interior points and area of lattice points.

Learners prove and use Ceva's Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students analyze polygons for patterns and calculate the area of each shape. They relate polygons to the real world.

Fourth graders design a bridge and answer critical questions about scientific inquiry and enterprise in a Science journal.

Students examine the characteristics of Supreme Court Justices. Using the interent, they research current effects effecting the Court. They complete a worksheet after examine the biographies of the justices. As a class, they discuss the...
