Students explore technology by completing word processing assignments in class. In this software lesson, students utilize the software KidPix and familiarize themselves with the options, techniques and content the program offers....

Students explore technology by creating a web page on-line. In this digital arts lesson plan, students identify the structure needed to create a website as well as the content required to keep visitors entertained. Students collaborate...

Students using visual modeling software will construct two regular pentagrams which are mathematically similar. They also create a multi-page document and learn to create links between the pages and to a website on the History of...

Students create cards for a memory game by entering data into a spreadsheet that is then merged into a word processing document. Tutorials are available through links on the lesson page.

Students evaluate a hypothetical experimental design and attempt to improve upon it. In this scientific method lesson, students are presented with an experiment and are instructed to determine its flaws. They conduct their own...

Students use NASA satellite data to compare water vapor over the United States.  In this data analysis activity students use an Excel spreadsheet to map their data. 

Young scholars identify basic geometric shapes using Geogebra. In this geometry lesson, students work on a laptop as they explore different geometric shapes. They calculate the area and perimeter of triangles.

Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to draw triangles and explore the classificaiton of each using the mearsures of interior angles and the lengths of the sides.

Eleventh graders explore quadratic equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders use Geometer’s Sketchpad to explore the properties of quadratics and the connections with polynomials and linear equations.  The lesson is...

Students create a standard outline, using a word processing tool, while they are learning about the basic writing device of the 5 paragraph essay.

Students explore Boyle's Law. In this Boyle's Law lesson, students complete problems involving Boyle's Law. They examine the effects of Boyle's Law upon the human body. Students use the Internet to complete a lab activity.

Students investigate projectile motion. In this projectile motion lesson, students investigate a website with an interactive lesson. Students view the changes in the projectile they see in the lesson. Students watch short video clips and...

Students create a spreadsheet to analyze data. In this technology lesson, students develop and use an Excel spreadsheet to log their data. They solve real life word problems as they set it up using the spreadsheet.

Students practice their writing skills by creating a character sketch of themselves. After viewing portraits, they select one personality trait and put their own picture into the painting of their choice. They include a conversation with...

Students estimate and measure exact. In this geometry lesson, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

Students, with the help of the NBA Utah Jazz website, formulate how to use a database. In addition, they access how to copy and paste, and prepare a spreadsheet for later use. Students apply productivity/multimedia tools and peripherals...

Ninth graders describe how equilibrium can occur as the balance of two effects. They model the stability of elliptical galaxies based on how fast stars within the galaxy are moving.

Tenth graders devise a computational model to explore how the orbit of the Earth might change if its velocity were different. Using accurately recorded data, 10th graders defend a scientific argument.

Tenth graders explore the role that collisions and near collisions of galaxies play in determining the shape of galaxies. They model the collision of disk shaped and spherically shaped galaxies.
