Students explore animal characteristics by participating in an animal anatomy activity. In this animal tracks lesson, students identify the differences between specific animals and the shape of their footprints. Students utilize a...

Fourth graders listen to a reading of In the Snow Who's Been Here? They experiment with making tracks by painting the bottom of their shoes and making tracks using different forms of locomotion. They apply what they know to winter...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students explore the numbers one through five. Over a three week period, students visit centers in the room to investigate and perform hands-on activities with numbers. They trace numbers, write numbers in shaving cream, count objects,...

Students practice handling money by examining different world currency.  In this economics lesson, students utilize a coin booklet to trace individual coins and draw bills, later coloring them in their traditional colors....

Middle schoolers enact the life cycle of a sessile animal and quantify the possibility of survival under the conditions given. They then present to the class a new adaptation which will increase the animals chance of survival.

Students calculate the area of grasslands needed to support a small pride of lions. They also identify food web links in an ecosystem and trace the energy pathways in an ecosystem.

It's amazing how much kids change from the beginning of the year to the end. Create a written account of their growth with a fun worksheet that involves children recording information about themselves at two points...

Compare sizes of student footprints with those of elephants and sauropod dinosaurs! Upper graders make estimations of the areas of irregular shapes; students use grids to make and explain estimates within low and high ranges.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Learners examine fabric. For this Applied Science lesson, students look at the fibers of fabric through a microscope. Learners compare and contrast a variety of fibers.

Students demonstrate their comprehension of shapes and their properties. They work in small groups. Students review the following terms: property, polygon, quadrilateral, and parallelogram. They read Shape Up! Fun With Triangles and...

Discuss the availability of clean, plentiful water and the causes of water pollution. In groups, sixth graders discuss problem-solving methods for keeping water clean. They explore the function of water treatment plants and perform...

Tenth graders estimate the size of an adult cheetah by research and measurement of a picture. They determine the approximate distance and speed of the cheetah from a filmed chase and compare that to their own running speed.

Young scholars explore recognizing, counting and sequencing numbers 1-10. In this primary math introduction lesson, students participate in 6 computer sessions that integrate short films, music and drawing in order to bring beginning...

students construct the graph of the Witch of Agnesi, and investigate both its asymptotes and inflection points. They construct the graph of the Witch of Agnesi and conjecture the asymptotes and inflection points of the function. ...

Students are introduced to the characteristics of trigonometric functions. In groups, they analyze graphs of sine and cosine to determine the lengths of a triangle. They compare and contrast the graphical and numerical characteristics...

In this counting activity, learners count farm animals and draw a line to the group that has the same number of animals on the opposite side of the page.

In this line graphs worksheet, students read 2 line graphs and answer short answer questions about them. Students answer 5 questions for each graph.

Students read a story. In this telling time lesson, students complete a worksheet where they must practice their knowledge of telling time. Students read a fable and answer time questions as they read.

Students choose a square of any size and use yarn to show that all 4 sides are the same. They sort the traffic sign cards into groups of squares and non-squares. Also they make a square using Q-tips; tell how you know it is a square.
