Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. In this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Sixth graders examine how to select samples and apply them to an experiment. In this sampling lesson, 6th graders use a bag of yellow and blue cubes to take a sample. They predict how many of each color there are the bag. They set up and...

Students investigate the different properties of trigonometry. In this precalculus lesson plan, students find the six different identities of trigonometric ratios. They relate the ratios to that of a right triangle and apply it to real...

Students solve word problems using the law of sines. For this precalculus lesson, students work in groups as they define vocabulary terms. They apply the formula of sine to answer and solve problems.

Learners decide when to use computation and permutation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the correct method to solve complex set of events. They differentiate between dependent and independent events.

Students solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry lesson, students apply properties of triangles to find the missing angles and sides. They identify angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They apply the properties of numbers as they solve equations.

Young scholars analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make...

Third graders apply deductive reasoning and make predictions. In this language arts lesson, 3rd graders discuss questions and use deductive reasoning to make a prediction. Students look for patterns and prior knowledge to make predictions.

Students compute and estimate using mental mathematics, paper-and-pencil methods, calculators, and computers. They measure and compare quantities using appropriate units, instruments and methods. They utilize worksheets imbedded in this...

Students review employment statistics and wages over the past 20 years. They examine the Federal Work Force Laws. They apply formulas to find the rate of change in the minimum wage.

Middle schoolers investigate how Global Positioning Systems work and how and why GPS receivers make errors. They graph data points and apply estimation and prediction to real-life GPS situations, discuss time delay, and complete a...

Pupils create podcasts of student-created review questions using iPod, iTalk, iTunes, GarageBand, and Keynote. This lesson is intended for as a mathematics review but could be adapted to fit any subject across many different levels.

Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...

Students go over the examples given of the greatest common factors as a class. They then take the information they have studied and apply it by completing the worksheet independently.

Students explore the Fundamental Counting Principle and tree diagrams.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students choose three pictures of clothing forma a catalog and create as many outfits as possible.  Students then use...

Learners demonstrate the attraction of small pieces of paper to a charged plastic rod and conduct experiment with other objects to determine whether they can hold a charge. They then use online applets to apply their experiments to...

Middle schoolers investigate some of the mathematical concepts involved in the study of circles. They first practice finding the circumference of a circle by finding the diameter and performing the calculation. The lesson delivery is...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Students identify and interpret how the Free Response questions are graded on an AP Exam. They also discuss coloring the included map, placing several examples on the board to determine the number of colors necessary to color each....

In this art instructional activity, students view a picture of Alexander Calder's sculpture "Black, White, and Ten Red." They analyze the sculpture by first finding the "rule" in the Fibonacci sequence. Students read a paragraph about...

In this math worksheet, they investigate the polar graph of: r = a + b sin (t), for various values of a and b. This is called a limacon and is applied to the definition of a transformation.

In this math worksheet, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.
