Students compare and evaluate the world's different seaweeds.  In this investigative lesson students study seaweed and the harvesting of it.  They then interpret the data collected and graph the seaweed production. 

Students use a thesaurus on the internet to explore the meanings of Greek and Latin roots. They find definitions of given words, draw a concept map for root words, and write four synonyms for each word. Students discover how Latin and...

In this modeling the Keeling Curve worksheet, students use given data beginning in 1960 to create a mathematical model for the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over time. Students manipulate the equation to predict the carbon...

Students solve quadratic function by completing the square. In this algebra lesson, students use the quadratic formula to factor quadratics and find the roots. They graph the parabola and identify its properties.

Young scholars use Kepler's third law to derive the velocity in a circular orbit of any radius, and identify the Earth escape velocity.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Students identify the types of light on the visible spectrum. They identify relationships between angles and mirrors. They state how they use light in their everyday lives.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson plan. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Young scholars analyze how studying garbage relates to methods of archaeology. They examine garbage to determine things about their culture and relate that to prehistoric peoples.

In this physics instructional activity, students examine how phase-locked loop circuits works and answer 8 short answer questions about it. They explain how FM radio communication works.

Satellites require rockets to launch, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand them. Future engineers learn about how satellites send data to Earth and how to interpret satellite images. They see how radio waves play a role...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...
