Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Build confidence about functions with the function builder. Pupils learn about functions and transformations using an interactive. A function machine transforms pictures, numbers, and equations based on a function rule. A mystery...

Learn about functions using the function builder app. A fun online interactive has the class conduct an investigation using a function machine. Inputs are pieces of art, and output are transformations of these pieces of art.

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Third graders examine plate movements and boundaries with a lab that demonstrates how volcanoes and earthquakes are formed. It presents different types of stresses an object can withstand through a hands-on...

The pre-lab portion of the lesson introduces emerging geologists to the various layers that make up Earth. After completing a sheet on the identification of the layers, class members simulate plate boundaries and their...

Young hydrologists observe a waterwheel which helps them investigate the transformations of energy that occur when the blades of a hydro-turbine are turning. They work together in pairs and pretend to be engineers who are building a new...

Fifth graders practice using the English measuring system by creating fractions.  In this parts of a whole lesson plan, 5th graders combine math key bars to simulate small parts of a bigger item.  Students combine the pieces to...

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

Second graders and teachers identify geometric vocabulary word by searching a geometry website. They create a Quilt Word Wall using the geometry words.

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

Students play roll of fictional radio disk jockeys. They allocate their daily program time into fractional time slots for the playing of specified catagories of music and commercial advertisements.

Learners try to figure out the strategies to the game Noughts. Students logic must play a part in the process of the game. Learners apply the symmetries of regular polygons. Students devise ways to critically follow a chain of reasoning.

The great red spot on Jupiter is 12,400 miles long and 7,500 miles wide. In this sixth part of a 22-part series, individuals model the rotation of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. To round out the activity, they discuss their findings as a...

Students are "Energy Detectives" working for an engineering firm that does energy evaluations at schools. In teams, they locate energy sources around the school, and record their findings on an Energy Detective Worksheet.

Students simulate strike slip faults using CEENBoTs. In this earth science instructional activity, students identify the fault lines and tectonic plates on a world map. They label the different parts of a fault line.
