Students explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Students create a podcast...

High schoolers use the Drake Equation to calculate the probability of sustaining life on various planets. Through the use of the equation, they determine whether intelligent and advanced civilizations can be developed on planets other...

Sometimes different parts of the brain disagree. See what this disagreement looks like using a remote learning resource to experience how brains often take shortcuts. Pupils complete the activity, observe their results, and then read...

Teaching is a balancing act! Keep things on an even keel with a comprehensive equilibrium lesson plan. The resource covers reversible and irreversible reactions, Le Chatelier's Principle, and the industrial applications of equilibrium...

High schoolers estimate the number of civilizations in the galaxy by first estimating the number of craters on the Moon and then by performing estimates of multiple-variable systems culminating in the use of the Drake Equation.

Young scholars demonstrate different algebraic equations using Borenson's Hands-On Equation materials. They work in a cooperative group to solve algebraic equations.

Seventh graders explore changing currency. In this international math lesson, 7th graders will write and solve 2-step equations in order to convert currencies between nations. Students will research prices of items and currency...

Eighth graders complete an Interdisciplinary Unit on the Muckrakers and the Progressive Movement. Students describe life in America and how Progressive Reformers changed it. identify specific problems and propose solutions. Students...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Census-takers view the Internet to find the total population of a city and its total land area. They work with different mathematical scenarios that involve populations and land area in their city. They complete math problems and unit...

Students utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball.  In this physics lesson, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by breaking the video...

Students analyze data from a virtual field trip to Michigan. They conduct Internet research on mileage and travel time between cities, calculate and compare fuel costs, and research and calculate lodging, activities, and meal costs.

Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer activity, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...

Trace the sequential process of the developing theories of atomic structure in the early 20th century, show, in historical development, how scientists "know" things, how experiments are set up and how interpretations are drawn from them,...

Pupils make predictions about the global temperature of the earth and to see how this is dependent upon a number of variables. Students visualize how changing parameters can impact the global temperature of the earth.

Students investigate the current welfare system in Utah. They research and discuss the different type of programs that are offered. They conduct an analysis of the reports that are provided. The standard of living is also investigated...

Students define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry lesson plan, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.

Students research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

Young scholars learn about using decimals and fractions by referring to a 19th century currency table. In this decimals and fractions lesson plan, students discuss converting pounds to coins and how they relate to fractions and decimals.

Students improve data entry in a spreadsheet.
