Students explore the ways to conserve our natural resources. In this recycling, reusing, and reducing lesson plan students read Dinosaurs to the Rescue and apply their findings to learning ways to conserve resources. Students complete a...

The other "Three Rs" are covered in this lesson: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Over four weeks, conservationists collect data about waste in their own homes. They combine their findings with those of other students in order to analyze...

Your river sportsmen will explore an example of paddling upstream as they build functions modeling speed and time in terms of the speed of the current. They then use their algebraic models to interpret features of the function related to...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Middle schoolers use the mathematics of surface area to approach the problem of garbage pollution from the classroom. After watching a video, students construct replicas of cereal boxes and compute their surface area.

Students construct a model of the ear to learn the parts of the ear. In this ear lesson plan, students build a model and use a poster to determine the structures and functions of each structure in the ear.

Students recognize the importance of solid waste management. In this science lesson plan, students analyze individual solid waste management habits as they enhance their knowledge of solid waste disposal and the recycling process.

Learners identify graphs for direct variation. In this algebra worksheet, students analyze graphs to determine their direct variation. They also determine whether the graphs are functions or not.

Students solve problems with direct variation. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs to figure out the direct variation of a line. They observe the slopes based the steepness of the lines.

Students analyze graphs. In this algebra lesson, students find the line of best fit, using scatter plots. They calculate the sale of popcorn as it relates to the price. They then analyze the graphs for positive, negative and no correlation.

Students solve equations dealing with best fit lines. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems by analyzing data from a scatterplot, and define it as positive, negative or no correlation. They classify slopes the same way as...

Learners observe names of items on the "Teacher's list of shopping bag items;" taking note that some items are capitalized while others are not. In this capitalization lesson, students encounter book titles, brand names, cities, and...

Seventh graders investigate the temperature change in open and closed containers. In this earth science lesson, 7th graders relate this lab activity to greenhouse effect. They create a line graph from data collected in the experiment.

Sixth graders set up an ecosystem, investigate conservation techniques, develop an action plan for conservation, and various other activities to explore the ecosystem.

Students practice separating trash into the correct recycling container. They discover the concept of recycle, reuse or reduce. They work together as a class to change their recycling habits.

Seventh graders pretend they were Anton looking through the microscope for the first time. They describe the way he felt when he observed tiny moving objects in the sample of pond water. They look at their own samples of pond water,...
