Learners study Benjamin Franklin including who he was, what he invented and his experiment.  In this inventive lesson students follow the steps of Ben Franklin and build a Leyden jar.

Students examine how to make an electrical circuit. They listen to a teacher led discussion, design a switch to control a circuit, and construct a signaling device.

Ninth graders compare the nature of forces of gravity, lift, thrust, and drag. They select proper materials for making a kite and attach a proper tail. Students interpret and summarize the observations made during the flight of the kites.

Students make observations about the wind and develop predictions to test with kites. The lesson's Language Arts component invloves communication of concepts with peers. On their kite flying day, students discuss how the wind and air...

Learners work with "ice" in order to gain a practical application of math concepts that evolve into an inquiry-based study. They determine if the dimensions of the ice make a difference in the way the ice floats in the water.

Students investigate the physics of flight through various experiments. In this physics lesson, students construct different flying objects. They explain the dynamics that make these object fly.

Students identify the number of diagonals for each polygon. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the polygons based on their diagonals and the way it intersect. They create visuals using the navigator to see the changes in the...
