Create jumbo bubbles and use them to teach about surface tension or interference, perfect for a physical science lesson on light or molecular attraction.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume, learn the terminology used with surface area and volume and have experimented with the surface area and volume of different prisms.

High schoolers investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri Jr. to construct and explore the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. The drawing and measurement tools available with Cabri Jr....

Students design and build a small glider. They see how the flight of a bird is similar to the flight of a sailplane. They explain how birds get their thrust and how they control their direction of flight.

Learners revisit midpoint and segments by graphing on the TI or computer. This activity can be done with pencil and paper, but is more interactive if it is done on a TI-navigator.

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson. Elementary learners work on a home project creating a hat similar to Abraham Lincoln's hat. They will use geometry and measurement to create the scale of the hat, then...

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

Students construct a barrel or other curvy container and then estimate and gauge its volume.

Students listen to a read aloud about the life cycle of the pumpkin and discuss the process. They complete a life cycle booklet.

Learners use their hands to bend and reshape a floral wire (line). They record this experience using crayon rubbings which become the frames for their flip book.

Second graders are introduced to geometry by a teacher made puppet called Geo George.

Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Young scholars review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Students pair up with a partner and find a good self space. They choose who "match" who first (i.e., be the "leader"). Standing next to their partner, and only looking at their shadow, each student tries to match their partner

Students discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

Young scholars create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

Students study architectural elements, then develop a strong composition from an interior photographs. They explore color planning by developing a painting with a variety of values.

Young scholars discover three lettered postulates that prove triangles congruent.

Ninth graders select and build one of five different paper airplane designs and test them for distance and for time aloft. Part of this activity is designed to explore NASA developed software, FoilSim, with respect to the lift of an...

Students differentiate between the two types of igneous rock and designate the area the rock comes from.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.
