Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this upper-elementary math lesson on measuring time and distance. Using Google Maps, students first measure and compare the distance and time it takes to travel between different...

The Grand Canyon formed between five and six million years ago, but is it still changing? Scholars explore 10 sites in the United States, including the Grand Canyon, to better understand the geoscience processes that formed these...

Learners compare the ponds, lakes, and reservoirs of Kansas.  In this geography lesson, students use Google Earth to research the different ponds, lakes, and reservoirs in Kansas.  Learners will discover that many of the bodies...

Students use a variety of media and technology resources as they complete an online activity about the United States. They use downloaded software from 'Google Earth' to follow Oliver K. Woodman on his travels across the United States.

A virtual field trip takes enthusiastic travelers to the pyramids of Giza. Using Google, scholars explore the grounds of the ancient pyramids found in Egypt then complete three worksheets: a photo analysis page, a reflection sheet, and a...

Students build different shapes using sketches. For this geometry lesson, students explore measurements and units as they build and create models of buildings. They use SketchUp to create and manipulate shapes.

Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.

Students investigate the Sierpinski triangle and calculate the ratio and area of the triangle. In this fractals lesson, students calculate parts of a Sierpincki triangle. They use Google Earth to help them construct the different parts...

Students use Google Maps to explore the rain shadow desert. In this climate lesson plan, students use the Internet, Google Maps, and directed inquiry worksheets to understand how rain shadow deserts form. Students apply climate concepts...

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the area of complex polygons. They solve word problems using rates and distances.

Students estimate and measure exact. For 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 graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra lesson plan, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.

Students calculate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students solve word problems with circles and create formulas to calculate the area. They find the rate and complex area of a circle.

Learners discover the history of California by researching the Gold Rush.  In this economics history lesson, students participate in a class discussion about the book Boom Town, and the value of gold in California.  Learners...

Students create a search and rescue party. In this geometry lesson, students simulate a rescue operation using math. They calculate the time, rate and solve word problems related to the real world.

Students investigate measuring as it relates to the real world. In this geometry lesson, students measure distances as they discuss fractals and how it relates to measuring. They measure both linear and non-linear distances.

Students practice their keyboarding skills. In this typing lesson plan, students use interesting stories to practice their skills. They practice throughout the semester and then monitor their improvement.

Students calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry lesson, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.
