Students apply and demonstrate, in a practical lab test, what they have learned from their previous classes by preparing cookies together. They use measuring knowledge, cooking terms, abbreviations, equivalents and substitutions.

Students construct a car with the longest roll using a ramp. They construct Lego cars, modify the wheel sizes and car configurations to evaluate which car design rolls the longest distance, develop a graph, and complete a worksheet.

Young scholars examine the difference between economic development and economic growth. They identify indicators of development in the United States and other countries. They discuss the differences in interpretations of the standard of...

Students calculate the hourly irradiance of the earth at a site given the near-surface air temperature of the site. They compare the calculated values of irradiance with those measured by instruments at the site. Students need to...

Student culminate a unit on potatoes. In this potato lesson, students make a booklet using the information acquired throughout a unit. They draw a picture of their potato, name it, measure it in inches, count its eyes, weigh their spud,...

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Middle schoolers explore the differences between climate and weather. In this introductory lesson of a climate unit, students discuss the vocabulary and concepts associated with weather and climate. They build their information base...

Students create a scaled solar system model using colorful beads. In this space science lesson, students convert AU units into metric measurements. They arrange the planets according to their distances from the sun.

In this percentages worksheet, students calculate percentages in eighteen problem solving percentage equations. Students show each step of their work.

Here is a worksheet on which math classes practice calculating the percentage of different numbers. Some of the percentages involve decimals, so this would not be an assignment for first-time percent calculators! You can print the...

Students create an experiment. In this friction lesson plan, students review the concept of friction and complete a bottle roll activity. Students work in groups to create their own friction experiment.

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Students explore reasons why the dinosaurs became extinct, and the specific needs (habitat, environment, food) of individual types of dinosaurs.

Students, in groups, record at least four pieces of equipment that fit a specified category as well as a safety tip to observe when using the equipment.

Students examine porosity and permeability and relate these concepts to groundwater flow. They use simple materials to conduct a porosity experiment and use the information to understand how environmental engineers decide on the...

Fifth graders discuss the importance of castles in medieval times. Using the internet, they research the parts of a castle and design their own using the components. They use everyday materials to build the castle to a specific scale.

Students make an anemometer, barometer, and wind catcher to see how wind and air pressure are related. In this wind lesson plan, students use these tools to measure the wind speed.

Pupils utilize the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to, in order to classify student height, object size, and planet size. They build scale models of the planets based on their discoveries of planet size.

Eighth graders use the unit price to compare which local grocery store has the best prices. Assign students to work with a partner and a role. One person is the recorder and the other is the mathematician.

Students practice skills of physical fitness to prepare for The Presidential Physical Fitness Test. They practice daily using specific exercises like curl ups and the one mile run/walk. The lesson allows students to project a profile...

Students explore perimeter and area of rectangles. In this rectangular lesson, students use tiles to discover the formulas for perimeter and area. Students solve for area.

Seventh graders participate in a number of activities designed to increase their understanding of how sound is generated and how it travels.

Students experiment with a variety of materials used for insulation by melting ice cubes.

Fourth graders collect and chart weather data over the course of the school year either using tools at school or media resources. They agree on weather terms to use in their observations and write them on the assigned sheet. Finally,...
