Students analyze data from a virtual field trip to Michigan. They conduct Internet research on mileage and travel time between cities, calculate and compare fuel costs, and research and calculate lodging, activities, and meal costs.

Students take a closer look at artifacts to learn about the people who used them. For this colonial America lesson, students examine photographs of everyday items used in colonial times and determine what the uses of the tools may...

Second graders familiarize themselves with the town they live in by practicing their imagination, library research and writing skills.

Students draw a line graph, and use graphing as a tool to discover more about conduction, convection and radiation. They should design their own experiment using heat sensitive paper to show they explain these 3 processes.

Young scholars practice research skills by scouring Internet for facts and information about the lost ocean liners Titanic, Lusitania, and Empress of Ireland.

Learners examine the pattern of natural variation in a society. They examine Darwin's theory of evolution and analyze data. They use computer programs to graphically display the variation in organisms.

Fourth graders are introduced to how the stock market operates. In groups, they practice reading and analyzing the Standard and Poor's 500 index. They participate in a simulation of buying and selling stocks on the market trying to...

Second graders make a quilt. In this cultural diversity instructional activity, 2nd graders review their knowledge of the Metis people. Students work in groups to create a class quilt that illustrates the lives of these people. Quilt...

Have your class solve equations using matrices by teaching them how to factor systems of equation to identify the point of intersection. They create their matrices on the Ti and perform row operations to simplify.

Students research information using various internet resources. In this chemistry activity, students demonstrate their ability to navigate websites and gather necessary information. They evaluate the potential usefulness of the databases...

Pupils construct geometric figures using Cabri Jr. in this constructing geometric figures using Cabri Jr. lesson. They familiarize themselves with Cabri Jr. and construct segments and triangles. Your learners will use various tools to...

High schoolers will investigate geometric construction in this geometry lesson. Your pupils can explore the basic construction of copying an angle, using the constructions tools of Cabri Jr.

Students create a garden.  For this ozone lesson, students discuss ozone injury, identify plants sensitive to ozone, and then plant their own ozone garden.

Students examine that certain drugs interfere selectively with neurotransmission, and realize that the effect of a drug is dependent upon dosage and route of administration.

Students design and construct a Rube Goldberg machine that accomplishes a simple task in at least ten steps. They view and discuss various Rube Goldberg designs, identify types of simple machines, and in small groups produce a schematic...

Students explore the observable properties of matter and utilize them in classification. They use a binary classification system to divide objects, then justify their scheme.

Students develop simple observations. They observe bleeding of colored inks with water, to understand mixtures, and to make generalized inferences from their observations.

Students use historical aerial photographs and current aerial photographs to compare the change over time to the land. In this land changing lesson plan, students analyze, compare, contrast, and list the land change in their own community.

Young scholars conduct an experiment.  In this glaciers lesson, students learn about glaciers and then perform an experiment to show how glaciers shape the landscape around them.  Young scholars draw a picture in their journals...

Learners assess how to go from writing ionic chemical formulas to nomenclature and naming chemical compounds. They brainstorm former studies and share their thoughts in small groups. A list of everyday products (shampoos, toothpaste,...

Fourth graders examine how the different organisms living in an ecosystem affect one another. In groups, they research a specific ecosystem and present their findings to the class based on the type of organisms found in it. To end the...

High schoolers conduct chemical experiments. In this chemistry lesson, they investigate reactions using the CBL system. Learners will graph and analyze their data using a TI.
