Pupils explore the concept of angles and transversals. They construct parallel and non-parallel lines cut by a transversal using Cabri Jr. Learners then determine which angles are congruent and the relationship of angles when two lines...

Rhombuses, rectangles and squares are have special properties. In this instructional activity, young geometers investigate and make conjectures about diagonals, angles, and parallel lines of parallelograms. 

Sixth graders make an electrical switch. In this electricity lesson, 6th graders will make an electrical switch, a series circuit, and a parallel circuit. They explain an open and closed circuit and give examples of  series and...

Students calculate the distance between two points. In this geometry lesson, students define the meaning of the distance between parallel lines. They find the point of intersection of other lines.

Students actively act out an aspect of the digestive tract on two parallel strips of tape on the floor 3-4 feet apart and width of classroom which represent the digestive tract.

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

In this partial derivatives worksheet, students complete one word problem by finding the (x,y) coordinates of a point when it moves parallel to one axis. When given a function, they find six partial derivatives. Students solve four...

Students examine the impact of colonialism on African nations, researching and analyzing post-colonial literature from those countries. They develop and present a creative display of their novel and its historic parallels.

Eighth graders find missing angles of triangles, quadrilaterals and angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal. They use area formulas to find the area of a figure; find the complement and supplement of a given angle; and know...

Students explore the basics of electricity using common everyday items as well as demonstrate how parallel and series circuits can be used in electronics and electrical devices. They explore how common items in their world can be wired...

In this logical thinking with geometric shapes worksheet, students write directions for transforming one shape into the next on a web. They write phrases such as "make two sides parallel" or "make all the sides the same length" while...

In this classifying angles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 35 various types of problems. First, they match each type of angle with its correct description. Then, students determine whether the given lines or planes are...

Students make constructions and conjectures. In this geometry lesson, students construct right, acute and obtuse angles using a straight edge and a protractor. They investigate parallel lines and the angles formed by the angles.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders construct parallel and perpendicular lines using a compass and a straight edge. There are 4 construction questions with an answer key.

Students define parallel and perpendicular lines. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concept of parallel and perpendicular lines to the real world. They classify the lines based on their slopes.

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Students look carefully at two photographs by Dorothea Lange that relate to the universal theme of a journey. They identify parallels between Lange's photographs and two poems. They write about the theme of journey as it relates to their...

Young scholars read an article about the sale of a letter written by a 16th century queen, Catherine of Aragon. They define vocabulary, complete comprehension worksheets, analyze the use of parallel form in the article and write a letter...

Students study the role the Supreme Court plays in laws and decisions that affect individuals with disabilities and examine the policies of the American with Disabilities Act. They draw parallels between policies enacted by the ADA and...

Students demonstrate their knowledge of past, present and future pandemics. They create timeline for the spread of Influenza Pandemic of 1918. They discuss parallels between outbreaks of influenza and bird flu.

Young scholars analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons to help solve the problem. They use...

Learners are posted at the beginning and end of a 10-meter long line parallel to the ocean and are instructed to look straight ahead towards the water. The student at the beginning of the line uses a stopwatch, goes to the water's edge...

Students develop an understanding of the mole and molar masses of elements. In this mole lesson plan, students use beans to find their relative masses and draw parallels to the atomic masses of elements. Students work in teams and each...
