Students explore physics by participating in a science activity in class. In this flight properties lesson, students identify Bernoulli's principle of flight and his theory of statics and motion. Students conduct a demonstration by...

Students explore a field of knowledge through the life of a leader in that field. They write a high-quality biography of the leader of their choice. In the end, publishing of the biography is completed on the Internet.

Students analyze and discuss prime numbers and the Sieve of Eratosthenes, a procedure to sort out prime numbers. They identify the prime numbers from 1-100 by eliminating all the multiples of the first four prime numbers, and circle what...

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Students discover and predict patterns in a numerical sequence. Through the Internet and video segments, students begin with basic number patterns and extend their knowledge into higher math skills. They will also create new patterns...

Students research biographies of Americans who advanced science. They create an obituary for the person to share what information they have gathered. They discuss the importance of the obituary as the "final word" of a person to complete...

Pupils understand that a spreadsheet can be used to find the best scale to use in a model. They place the distances of the planets of the solar system to the Sun in one column of the spreadsheet. Students try different scales so that the...

Students access the Internet to locate data regarding their assigned mathematician. They organize their notes onto a data form, then enter it into a database, and sort the database according to given criteria.

Students explore the concept of vertex-edge graphs.  For this vertex-edge graphs lesson, students try to construct a graph with a given diameter, number of vertices, size, and planarity.  Students construct various vertex-edge...

Students problem solve logic problems. They complete a worksheet using dice as a manipulative. They decide on a problem solving strategy, solve the problem, and write up the solution.

Seventh graders define vocabulary and discuss the characters in a movie.  For this solar station lesson students explore robots on the Internet. 

Students discuss scale diagrams and maps as well as the use of spreadsheets to find the best scale to use in a model before practicing scale and ratio problems on their own.

Students investigate e, pi and exponents. In this calculus lesson, students define constants and non-constants using, pi, e and exponents as an example. They use the TI to work the problems in this lesson.

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Young scholars discover what sand looks like, how sand dunes form and what minerals can be found in sand. They also examine how beach erosion occurs. They explore how to stay safe at the beach.

Learners explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

Pupils study Georg Ohm and how he changed mathematics with his law.  In this experimental evidence and stastics lesson students complete an experiment on the characteristics of Ohm's law. 

This lesson plan is aimed at 7th and 8th grade students and involves researching famous mathematicians and the import of their contributions.

Learners will use technology to research and explore mathematicians.
