Using a potter’s wheel to make functional art is an experience not common to most people. Provide your learners with a chance to see what pottery making is all about with an app that allows them to create pots, fire them, decorate them,...

Sixth graders investigate the link between Canadian symbols and identity, offering various perspectives of what Canada means to Canadians. They explore the natural world around them and choose an image to sketch.

Learners examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Students explore geometric solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Students define geometric solids...

Students explore recognizing, counting and sequencing numbers 1-10. In this primary math introduction lesson, students participate in 6 computer sessions that integrate short films, music and drawing in order to bring beginning math...

Students use a variety of computer games and programs to reinforce colors. In this colors lesson plan, students create scenes, view degrees of colors, see colors dance to music, and more.

Students explore the concept of light and dark. In this light sources lesson, students use an interactive whiteboard to discuss light sources and illumination. The students complete a worksheet as an assessment.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students explore the distribution of plant seeds. In this science lesson, students discuss plants that explode in order to spread their seeds. Students create pea shooters and use dried peas to see how far they will travel.

Students engage in scientifically oriented questions. They give priority to evidence, draw conclusions/formulate explanations and connect/evaluate explanations with scientific knowledge. Students communicate and justify proposed...

Young scholars calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Students explore the alphabet by completing a computer activity. In this letter identification lesson, students utilize Kid Pix to create artwork based upon each letter of the alphabet. Students utilize drawings, type and...

Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Learners research tall buildings and identify the geometric shapes used in the construction of the buildings. They compare shapes and infer why some are better than others in building. They produce a multimedia presentation of geometric...

Students complete several student readings involving kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system go together and how these parts depend on each other. They comprehend how different environments both provide...

Middle schoolers are placed in pairs and given a type of frog to research on the computer. They research its habitat for 30 minutes on the computer and then make a 3-D habitat/model of their individual frogs living environment with...

In this ph words instructional activity, students fill in the missing sound ph into 10 words. Then students fill in words with the ph sound in it to 10 sentences.

Students examine a variety of fruit to discover that each has seeds. Through experimentation, they discover the role that fruit and seeds play in a plant's life cycle.

Students explore the three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and discuss how it is important for structural engineers in order to be able to describe locations in space to fellow engineers. They participate in a hands-on activity...

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Young scholars design and build their own truss. In this physics lesson, students calculate the forces and maximum load. They complete a full scale diagram of their design.

Discover 2D shapes and 3D objects from different views in Antarctica!
