Students play game to practice numerical skills.

Young scientists observe deforestation from satellite photos and discuss the importance of forests to the global environment. They then simulate a plot of forest when farmers move into the area over the course of seven years. Finally,...

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

Pupils play an online strategy game working with a limited budget. They collect and interpret seismic data to search for oil traps, file environmental impact statements before drilling and use drill logs to determine when to start pumping.

It is impossible to cool down a glass of water by adding ice. Young scientists explore heat transfer through videos, experiments, and interactive games. They quickly catch on that the water melts the ice and things aren't always as they...

Students explore statistics by participating in a personal details activity. In this data collection activity, students identify the importance of personal information collection and how it can be used against them if collected...

Students complete a game-like simulation to determine a career and salary. In groups, they collect information and decide what is the "best" city in which to live. They create a monthly budget for their "best" city based on salary from...

Second graders explore probability by playing a drawing game with dice. After they roll a die, they draw a tree diagram to illustrate each of the possible outcomes.

Third in a set of lessons regarding reservoirs, dams, and hydropower, this involves a two-day hydropower plant simulation. Collaborative groups build, maintain, and finance the plant. The transparency of the reservoir setup can be...

Students participate in an economics game which demonstrates the advantages of price allocation over other methods.

Take young scientists into the depths of the world's ocean with the second lesson of this three-part earth science series. After first drawing pictures representing how they imagine the bottom of the ocean to appear, students...

Pupils practice the basic principles of probability by conducting an experiment, determining if a game is fair, collecting data, interpreting data, displaying data, conducting analysis, and stating and applying the rule for probability.

Students play a game in which they simulate the interactions between a predator, lynx, and a prey, rabbit. Students collect data on the interactions, graph data, and make predictions for populations of several more generations.

It's time to get those creative juices flowing! This second lesson plan in a series of five continues allowing pupils to design their own planets. It the same format as the first, but, this time, allows students to alter greenhouse...

Students play a game in which points are assigned to daily activities which require fossil fuels or electricity. They compare the impact their energy and transportation choices have in everyday life.

Fourth graders play a game where they are trees gathering sun, water, and nutrients and CO2 represented by pieces of paper or poker chips. They record their collected requirements and graph how they grew as a forest.

Fourth graders compose a melody by placing words on the music staff. They play their melody words for the class.
