Fourth graders research famous astronauts. In this space science instructional activity, 4th graders list famous astronauts and use reference materials and the Internet to write a report on them.

Students are introduced to the normal distribution and examine the bell curve controversy.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students answer 9 fill in the blank questions regarding a passage regarding skiing skills.

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

Students explore the concept of polygon properties. In this polygon properties lesson, students draw polygons with different numbers of sides such as pentagons, octagons, hexagons, etc. Students identify different geometric shapes in the...

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Students explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation instructional activity, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Students make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

High schoolers explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  High schoolers discuss why there is...

Students listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.

Students listen as the teacher introduces Newton's early discovery of the diffraction of light. They use multiple sources of light (fluorescent, incandescent, sunlight, etc) to bend the light. They first use a prism then a diffraction...

Fourth graders investigate regular polygons. In this regular polygon lesson, 4th graders explore the attributes of different polygons. Students work in groups to complete a KWL chart regarding polygons.

High schoolers capture the serve motion of a tennis player with a digital or video camera. Using transparencies or a software package, analyze the speed, acceleration, displacement and time of the racquet head and ball in the tennis stroke.

Students measure the height of items using an astrolabe.  In this latitude lesson students construct a sextant and determine height and latitude with it. 

Students engage in a series of loco-motor activities based on shapes. In this loco-motor instructional activity, students demonstrate physical skills through races, jumping, hopping, galloping in circles, squares, rectangles and triangles.

Explains angles and parallel lines through examples and a video lesson.

Everything you wanted to know about angles and more, including 1) how to measure angles 2) types of angles 3) angle relationships and 4) angles around a transversal.

Investigate vertically opposite, corresponding, and alternate angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal using this highly interactive Learn Alberta math. Be sure to follow the link to the printable activities, solutions, learning...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces the concept of acute, obtuse and right angles. Also, as the lesson proceeds vertical, adjacent, alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are explored. Plenty of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use alternate interior angles to determine angle congruency and the presence of parallel lines.

This study guide on angles and transversals covers key terms, angle types formed by transversals, postulates and theorems about transversals, and how to prove if lines are parallel or perpendicular. It is available for download with free...

This activity from Shodor Education Foundation will help you learn or review your angle vocabulary.

Students are challenged to identify and measure angles created by parallel lines and a transversal as well as complementary and supplementary pairs.

Consider two parallel lines that are intersected by a transversal, and when it crosses the two others, many different angle pairs are formed. See the special properties of the angle pairs in this interactive.

Practice finding angle measures between intersecting lines.
