Students differentiate between a relation and a function. In this algebra lesson, students identify a pair of coordinates as being a relation or a function. They analyze graphs for function as they solve word problems.

Students investigate the coefficients in a chemical equation and their relation to moles. In this moles and coefficients lesson plan, students perform a single replacement reaction of copper (II) sulfate and zinc and find the ratio of...

Students use S'COOL data to identify factors that affect cloud formation. They find a data set using the S'COOL database , and use Excel to manipulate the data. Student isolate relevant data, create meaningful graphs from a spreadsheet,...

Students investigate relative mass using 8 different items. In this relative masses lesson plan, students discuss as a class John Dalton's atomic theory. They take the masses of the 8 items and record their data. They discuss relative...

Learners investigate relations in this algebra lesson. They graph the set of ordered pairs that determine a relation. Using a TI-83 Plus, your learners will enter the coordinates in a list, create a scatter plot, and manipulate the...

Third graders brainstorm on what they believe they do on their summer vacation. They explore how family and relatives are important in their lives. They read along with their teacher a book about relatives.

Students watch the teacher do a demonstration of density with diet and regular soda. Note: try this first, as different types of artificial sweetener have different densities. Students discuss density and volume. They discuss "Relational...

Students create their own sling psychrometer to measure relative humidity. They work together in groups to make and use the psychrometer. They are asked questions about their experiment to complete the instructional activity.

Take the old baking soda and vinegar volcano to the next level by using it to study repeated lava flows over time, examine geologic features on Earth and Mars, and speculate about some of the formations on Mars. 

Students use satellite data to see how radiation budget relates to the ice that is present in the North.  In this energy lesson students correlate data to see a relationship. 

Science learners simulate what happens when ice breaks up and floats on water and how increased pressure on ice causes it to melt faster. They view a clip from the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, and relate their lab activities to what...

Students identify relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, students map points and decide whether the mapping is a function or not. They find the inverse and examine relations for functions.    

Students make several models of the solar system to learn the positions of the planets in the solar system as well as relative distances and sizes. Creation of these models will help them identify the planets by size, shape, color,...

Students differentiate functions based on their domain and range. In this algebra lesson, students define function, domain, range and relation. They analyze graphs and coordinate pairs for input and output values making up a function.

Pupils consider density and how it affects sinking and floating. Students make predictions, test liquids, and observe why some liquids sink and others float. They perform experiments to determine relational causality and how liquids...

Students create psychrometers to measure the humidity of the air.  In this meteorology lesson, students make a wet-bulb thermomter and place it next to a dry-bulb thermometer to measure the relative humidity in the room.

Young scientists participate in a hands-on experiment to explore Einstein's theory of relativity in a creative manner. They investigate various waves and compare their characteristics as they discuss how each wave is created....

Students participate in a science lesson that integrates connections between health issues on Earth and how those issues are related to studies conducted on the International Space Station. T

Twelfth graders investigate specialized structures in both plants and animals. They relate structure to function, as they determine why the specialization is necessary and useful to the living organisms involved. They use microscopes...

Students examine planetary movement and its relation to the tide.In this gravity lesson students describe how and why the high and low tides change every day.

Eighth graders are introduced to concepts related to the Solar System. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they must describe a ray of light and how it travels. They draw a diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum and...

Tenth graders investigate the mole using raisins, sunflower seeds and M&Ms candy. In this mole relations lesson plan, 10th graders create trail mix packets using the food items given to them using "dozen" as the units. Students write...

Twelfth graders solve problems using related rates. For this calculus lesson, the students solve word problems following 8 different key steps. They solve 4 problems related to the real world.

Introduce the concept of a correlation coefficient using an interactive lesson. Learners begin by manipulating a correlation coefficient and watching a graph change to represent the new value. Questions help strengthen their...
