Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Learners are posted at the beginning and end of a 10-meter long line parallel to the ocean and are instructed to look straight ahead towards the water. The student at the beginning of the line uses a stopwatch, goes to the water's edge...

In this AC phase worksheet, students answer 24 questions about AC and DC voltages, phasor diagrams, sine wave graphs and Lissajous figures.

Students familiarize themselves with the three most common geometric shapes: circles, triangles and parallelograms. They sketch, sort, and name the shapes.

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 inspect the causes and effects of earthquakes and examine how seismic waves travel. For this earthquake lesson, students determine where earthquakes happen and why, before determining how to build an earthquake resistant...

Learners investigate surveying in this secondary mathematics lesson. They will explore a real world application of geometry and trigonometry as they create a plot plan using a geometry utility and calculate the area of the land parcel.

Students investigate conservation laws using a potato launcher. In this physics lesson plan, students measure angles, time and distance of the potato. They discuss applications of experiments like this.

Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon lesson, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.

Students examine the effects on motor functions in mice. They make observations and graph their data. They analyze the data and draw conclusions in each of the three experiments.

In this DC motor activity, the learner answers 3 open-ended questions pertaining to the design of a DC motor. The activity is printable and the answers are revealed online.

In this tessellation worksheet, students draw tessellations using specified figures. This one page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Students explore measurement in terms of pizza toppings. In this math lesson plan, students draw a circle using string and a ruler, determine areas of different size circles, find how many two topping pizzas can be made using 14...

Your learners will construct the perpendicular bisector of a chord. They use Cabri Jr. to construct a circle and a perpendicular bisector of a chord. They then measure lengths of the chords and perpendicular bisectors. Learners use...

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.

Students investigate ways to save our environment by creating a recycled product.  In this sustainable materials lesson plan, students create a magazine holder by recycling a large cardboard box and gift wrap or wallpaper....

In this geometry worksheet students explore similar polygons and determine measure of missing sides and angles. Students use indirect measurement with similar triangles and determine the area and volume of similar figures. The seven...

Students use roadside kill to use taxidermy skills, become comfortable working with animals and dissecting.

In this constructing triangles online learning exercise, students construct thirteen triangles on paper first and then type in their answers on line. Students can check their answers as they go and the computer calculates the overall...

In this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to determine which shapes (in a box of shapes) are congruent. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

Students set up and conduct a scientific experiment to demonstrate data collection. In this scientific process instructional activity, students complete an activity with the specific objective of using a slingshot to fire a t-shirt into...

High schoolers explore the concept of right triangles as they construct a right triangle using Cabri Jr. Learners find the midpoint of the hypotenuse and construct a line from the midpoint to the vertex of the right angle. They then...

In this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about midpoints, distance, lines and segments. They are given different shapes and asked to calculate the angles, and sides of polygons.
