Students practice their multiplication and division by creating a Witches Brew.  In this holiday math lesson, students utilize Halloween style ingredients to create a fun edible treat for themselves.  Students practice their...

Students calculate the standard and metric measurements of a playground. In this measurement lesson, students use GPS coordinates and graphing calculators to determine the dimensions of an area outside of the school in both standard and...

Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. For this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Students discover time keeping by reading clocks.  In this time-telling lesson, students read the story Hickory Dickory Dock, and discuss the measurements of time we use.  Students complete worksheets in which they identify the...

Students build and create using math. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similarity as they observe polygons. They create robots with different functions using properties of geometry.

Young scholars identify the properties of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of diameter to sections of a pizza. They calculate the measure of an arc and missing angles.

Fifth graders make a graph. In this pulse rate lesson plan, 5th graders estimate their pulse and record it. Students measure their pulse while at rest and after physical activity and record it. Students use the internet to graph their...

Students draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Pupils complete activities to examine the properties of water. In this water science instructional activity, students read a book about water's forms and study a map or globe of the Earth to investigate water. Pupils discuss living...

Students examine collections. In these real-world collections lessons, students examine and describe buttons and shells. Students will then sort, classify, and graph items according to various indicated descriptors.

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics instructional activity, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their...

Students explore linear relationships. The lesson plan uses science to develop an understanding of the expanding Universe. There are 3 Labs, only 2 of which are required. Lab C is an enrichment for higher level classes.

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Students explore Literal Equations. In this literal equations lesson, students use the Internet to connect to links and solve linear equations. Students investigate, analyze and record their findings on various activity worksheets.

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. In this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

Students estimate the size of a sea turtle nest, or clutch, that contains about 120 eggs. They decide what type of container that they are familiar with that could hold a complete nest or clutch. Finally, students calculate the volume...

Young scholars discover that different textured materials can absorb more heat than others. Students work with thermometers, clocks, and graphs.

High schoolers examine water quality on a nearby stream. They collect water samples and test for various factors, including any contamination from the treatment plant, and present their information in a Powerpoint presentation.
