Students engage in a lesson plan that is designed to inform about the history of the "African" continent. The time period studied will cover from 5000 BC up to 1600 AD. This plan incorporates many of the topics and subtopics of the...

Students, after given the opportunity to us the software Eyewitness-History of the World, research a given topic, abstract the main ideas, and ultimately present the findings to the class. Inevitably, the students design three quiz...

Students examine character traits and apply characteristics of those traits to images and quotations. They design, save and print using a desktop publishing program. They utilize reference tools to locate quotations.

High schoolers create their own HyperStudio cards which include scanned images of at least one member (designated reader) of each group. They add the text of a predetermined amendment. The designated reader then reads the selected...

Students design a robot based on given requirements. In this technology instructional activity, student test whether their robots can perform certain tasks. They present and discuss their program design.

Students design their own building according to certain criteria. In this semester long physics lesson plan, students calculate forces, compression and tension. They present their finished model in class.

Second graders read "The Hundred Penny Box" by Sharon Bell Mathis. They collect pennies and pictures for each year they have been alive. They use software and their scanned photographs to design an autobiography.

Students use satellite tracking software to monitor different satellites. They predict and graph the motion of the space station. They create a 3-D display of its path and share it with the class.

Students investigate the use of Geometer's Sketchpad when studying geometric terms. They use the visualization tools to complete worksheet and design a picture to print and share with the class.

Students research a specified country. Using the internet, Inspiration software, tourist information, and their textbooks, students create a multimedia report containing information on the climate, natural resources, the economy, and...

Students use Excel to graph monthly mean Greenwich sunspot numbers from 1749 to 2004. They perform a spectral analysis of the data using the free software program "Spectra". Short answer and thought questions related to the graphical...

Learners explore the rotation of the planets from various locations on Earth Using planetarium software, they will make observations, and explain how the rotation of the planets varies based on ones location on the Earth. Students...

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Learners expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

Seventh graders identify and create questions and hypotheses, dependent and independent variables and form a conclusion that can be answered and tested through scientific experimental investigation. In this relationship lesson, 7th...

Students, in groups, design a procedure to calculate the mass of gas molecules in the classroom by measuring the volume of the classroom and researching the density of air. They apply changes in air density with altitude and effects on a...

Eighth graders describe the energy transformations as cars travel over a roller coaster. They explain the principle of conservation of energy as it relates to a roller coaster ride. The integration of technology is done using educational...

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Pupils design a robot that can turn 90 degrees. In this robotics lesson plan, students explain the applications of their invention. They present their design in class.

Students design a flowchart for their robotic program. For this physics lesson, students construct a robot that can navigate certain obstacles. They present their program and robots in class.

Students analyze how to begin hands on research for science projects and experiments. They develop a problem and design a systematic effort to resolve it.

Students complete a unit on orbiting spacecraft designed to study astronomical objects. They conduct Internet research on NASA missions, use a satellite dish to downlink information, and construct and launch a rocket out of paper and tape.

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Students design a visualization to illustrate the role of the protein kinesin in exocytosis of a secretory material in a directed manner.
